Artificial nails have come a long way, from the late Middle Ages (their first appearance) to the Lee Press On Nails of the 1980s. We share their history, then celebrate the current revival and tell you about some of the best press-on nails we’ve tried. Before that, lots of news to discuss, including the Machine Gun Kelly PR blitz for his new nail polish line; big changes at Proactiv; Galderma’s purchase of Alastin; a new beauty column from Linda Wells; and details on a fascinating exhibit of Agarwood Oud at Mandy Aftel’s Archive of Curious Scents.
