Cosmetic talks about artificial make-ups to enhance a person’s beauty. Most women make use of beauty cosmetics to enhance their beauty and sexual appeal and boost their del-esteem. Lacquer is shiny in nature and used under beauty cosmetics to enhance one’s appeal. Studies show that the Asian continent has cosmetics as one of the major exports from a global perspective. Nail lacquer is one of the evident cosmetics with huge consumers.The reason behind the argument is that most of the people around the globe love nail art and nail polishing as a form of beauty.
