Prevent Rust with Nail Polish and Other Household Repairs with Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish

Nail polish originated in 3000 B.C. when Chinese artists combined egg white, gelatin, gum Arabic, and beeswax to create lacquers, enamels, and varnishes. The Chinese aristocrats starting use this as fingernail polish as a sign of status. It wasn't until 1915 that the Maybelline Company was founded by T. L. Williams. Two years later he introduced Maybelline Cake Mascara in which he began advertising in magazines and only selling his products by mail. Maybelline was finally made available in stores in September of 1932, which was followed by eye pencils and eye shadow. The first mass marketed automatic mascara was introduced in the early 1960's as Maybelline Ultra Lash. In 1967, the founding company was sold to Plough, Inc., which was to later become Schering-Plough Corp. in 1971. In 1973, Maybelline introduced their new product called Great Lash mascara and it soon branched into a wide variety of other face, lip and nail products. Maybelline became a publicly owned company by 1992.
