Went camping recently and forgot my nail clippers… got me wondering how humans took care of their toenails and nails before these specific tools? Files? How were they made? Did they let them grow long? How did nail-polish become a "thing"?
Hope this isn't too stupid a question for AskHistorians.
hi! silly or not, it's actually a fairly popular question. there's always room for more input for various cultures (and especially re nail polish, which I don't believe has ever been answered), but meanwhile, get started on the FAQ*
