I've been getting obsessed with Ancient Chinese nail and flower art. I find it so fascinating that men and women alike starting in the Tang would wear flowers in their hair and grow out their nails if they were born in high rank.

The fashion would eventually become so elaborate that you would get the really long nail protectors from the Qing dynasty. Here is a really good blog post talking about nail fashion in Ancient China https://www.newhanfu.com/70867.html
