Description: Vintage c. 1940s gold-tone Cutex Lipstick - Robin Red shade ------ Northam Warren created the first fingernail cuticle remover and nail polish in 1911 and called its company the Cutex Company. In 1914, it introduced nail tints and a liquid nail polish for the first time. The product took a long time to catch on because it was reported as being a fad. But it slowly built a base of young customers. In 1928, the Cutex company introduced an acetone-based nail polish remover that was safe for home use and it helped to lead to the mass adoption of liquid nail polish. By the twentieth century, Cutex was a major nail care brand that was used by many women that desired to be fashionable. It also created a line of lipstick shades. This tube of gold-tone Cutex lipstick is from the 1940s and is called Robin Red. It is in a push-up type of tube that was commonly used at that time period. In 1960 Northam Warren was acquired by the Chesebrough Ponds Company. At that time period, Cutex nail polish was sold in 109 countries. In 1997, Carson Inc. purchased the Cutex product line for sale in the U.S. and Puerto Rico for 41-million dollars. The following year, Carson sold Cutex to the Shansby Group, in order to focus on its hair care line as well as reduce debt. As part of the sale, Carson retained the nail and lip-coloring product lines. The Shansby Group later entered into a joint venture with Medtech Labs to form the publicly traded company, Prestige Brands, which included Cutex. Prestige sold Cutex in 2010 to the Arch Equity Partners. In 2016, Arch Equity Partners sold the Cutex Brands portfolio company to the Revlon Consumer products.
