See the most exotic beauty in Vietnam in the 1920s

In Vietnam today, the influence of foreign horror films makes it too long to leave nails too long to be a sign of evil. Few people know that centuries ago, it was once considered a symbol of people in society.

For long nails - this special beauty trend can be traced back to the early twentieth century, as evidenced by a few postcards in the photo collection below. According to the prevailing concept at the time, only working-class people cut their fingernails. Because nails that have a protruding shape, sometimes even twisted, will cause inconvenience in agricultural, aquatic and mining activities.

Therefore, keeping such a complex set of nails is reserved for feudal and Confucian scholars who do not have to do manual work. Some do so with all the fingers, while the rest cut the nails on the index finger for practical reasons.
