Introduction
I often get flabbergasted when I see girls with huge, sparkling nails using their phones. The first thought that comes to my mind is “How are they even able to touch their phone screens with such long talons for nails?” but then again, it is their choice. And when I started researching about this, I was even more astonished by the fact that this tradition of growing nails and manicuring has been going on since our ancient times.
Yes, even our ancestors used to paint their nails with different colours for different occasions. The first piece of evidence of nail art being used in ancient times comes from Egypt where men used to paint their nails before going to war. Interesting, right?
That is where it all started. But, as humans, we are an ever-evolving species and we keep switching cultures as we grow. And the same thing can be seen with the evolution of nail art. From “war paint” to a fashion statement, we have surely come a long way. Nowadays it is common to find nail bars and nail salons all around us. Through all this glamour and bling, one might wonder, “What if I open a nail bar and try to earn money from it?”, the very next moment, another question would start floating in their head, “is the nail art business profitable?”
You will find the answers to all these sorts of questions through this article. So, let’s dig deep into the world of long, shiny sometimes outrageous nails.
