Nail polish is a cosmetic laquer that is applied to the nails of both the fingers and toes.

There are historic records of its use in ancient societies of China and Egypt, where colour signified social class. Originally made of natural pigments, modern nail polish is similar to car paint, and requires solvents such as acetone to remove.
