Noble women in Qing Dynasty had long nails and dyed them with henna or impatiens for a long time. The fingernails in Qing Dynasty were made of gold and silver, with exquisite patterns and rich varieties. This picture shows the nail sleeve (also known as "finger protector") in Qing Dynasty. From left to right, there are jade-studded sunflower tortoise shells, gold armor, gold-studded Hua Die tortoise shells and gold-studded Mi Zhu regiment tortoise shells.
