WHICH BRAND OF RED NAIL POLISH COMES OFF THE EASIEST

Painting nails has become a very normal part of society today. But it might surprise you that the act of manicures and pedicures started around 3200 B.C.! In Babylonia, men used to wear nail polish made of kohl to show what class they were in. If a man was of a higher class he wore black nail polish but if he was low class he wore green. Nail polish started there and expanded tremendously. Over the years painting nails became more and more popular than it originally was in 3200 B.C. Although unlike the men in Babylonia, we paint our nails as more of a pastime and less as a signal of class. Today, nail polish now comes in an insane amount of colors and textures to choose from. There are even fake nails already painted and designed that you can put over your real nails. All in all, painting nails is enjoyable and creative, but sometimes it is really a challenge to remove the nail polish from your nails. It is also very time-consuming. So we wondered how we can shorten this time and make removing nail polish easier.
Our group concluded that the brand of nail polish could possibly affect how long it takes to fully remove the nail polish. We then developed an experiment to find out which nail polish brands are removed in the shortest amount of time. We also did a side experiment testing whether acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover removes nail polish the fastest.
In the first experiment that we did, we got three different brands of red nail polish, all displayed at different prices. We hypothesized that if the nail polish brand is more expensive, it will be harder to take off. We came to this conclusion because we figured that if the brand is more expensive, the quality of the nail polish would be better. Considering this, the better quality nail polish would stay on the nails longer and would be less prone to chipping therefore harder to remove. For our second experiment we hypothesized that if we

    Service is another factor in differentiation of products. Team B discussed that for the fast food hamburger restaurant; one may offer fast service by pre-making the hamburgers where another restaurant may offer the service of obtaining the hamburger the way the customer wants the hamburger resulting in a longer wait time as the hamburgers are not pre-made. Service in the shoe example would be for the high end name brand store there would be shoe specialists to wait on customers and assist the customers with trying on the shoes, etc. Whereas the store that caters toward the low price store brand may not have any shoe specialists to assist, the customer simply has to find the shoe in…

    This time I went to Chic Nail Bar. I got a new set. Which is when the nail tech removes the set of nails you currently have and cuts down you real nails because most likely they'll have grew out and be thin and brittle. Then push back your cuticles, and apply a clear tip. Then they'll ask you what length you would like and they cut them down to your liking. Then they'll start applying the acrylic. They'll dip their brush in a fluid and then into a powder, the powder soaks up the liquid and turns into a gel like substance It takes only seconds to dry and harden. The product hardens…

    The Egyptians were the first to cultivate beauty in a extravagant fashion, and became well-versed in the art of makeup and hairdressing. The ancient Egyptians also were the first to use cosmetics as part of their personal beautification habits, and in religious ceremonies when preparing the deceased for burial. Ancient records show that coloring matter was made from berries, the bark of trees, minerals, insects, nuts, herbs, leaves and other materials that were used on the skin, hair, and nails. Even though eye paint was the most popular of all cosmetics, henna (a dye extracted from the leaves of an ornamental shrub) was used to impart a reddish tint to the hair that is still used to this day. The first recorded use of henna as a coloring agent was in 1500 B.C. Excavations from Egyptian tombs also have revealed combs, brushes, mirrors, and razors made of tempered copper and bronze. Hairdressing was an art for the Egyptians who liked to wear elaborate hairdo's and cosmetics, as well as wigs. Egyptian women, and the Roman women were known to apply a mixture of soil and water to their hair. They then wrapped their hair on wooden made rollers to bake in the sun, creating a temporary wave. The first evidence of nail care recorded in history was prior to 3,000 B.C. in Egypt and China. Ancient Egyptian men and women of high social rank stained their nails with red-orange henna. The color of a person's…

    On the surface, “Miracle Polish” mirrors the myth of Narcissus, following a man who, after discovering the effects of a mysterious polish, becomes obsessed with his own reflection. However, within the fantasy of Steven Millhauser’s short story lies a very real and morbid subtext. “Miracle Polish” presents an allegory of drug abuse and substance addiction, using symbols to control the story’s significance and depth. Millhauser effectively creates an allegory with the use of two primary symbolizations. The identity of these symbols is easiest to distinguish during the climax of the story, where the narrator smashes his mirrors and turns on Monica. This moment in the story illuminates further meaning throughout the rest of “Miracle Polish,” exposing the representation of symbols and supporting the purpose of the short story.…

    I researched 2 other paper towel absorbency experiments. An experiment by Samantha P.(www.selah.k12.wa.us, 2001) hypothesized that Bounty would be the most absorbent brand, while ZHukant(“essay-collection.blogspot.com”, 2006) hypothesized that Job Squad would be the most absorbent brand in that experiment. Both experiments had a well-defined experimental plan. I was able to replicate both after conducting my own experiments. Samanthat P. and I did multiple trials with each brand of towel. ZHukant only conducted one trial per brand. ZHukant and I both cut our paper towels down to the same size so that the experiment was as controlled as possible. Samantha P’s hypothesis was found false in all four trials. She found that Sparkle brand was the most absorbent. ZHukant’s hypothesis was proven true; Job Squad was the most absorbent brand.…

    Usually, a new product would have a strong brand image and consumers would form a habit of the usage if the product is the first one to the market. It’s difficult for the followers to compete in the same market with the same target consumers. Crest Whitestrips is definitely an effective product and it even won the challenge before the NAD. P&G did a test about Simply White and came out the results that it was gone in five minutes which means Whitestrips is more effective than Simply White. However, the perception of the consumer about the product is much more important than its actual effect. About 50% of the consumers whou had tried Simply White thought the product worked, which is significant for Colgate to win over P&G.…
