When did Western women start painting their nails?

I found a website that siad that nail painting goes back thousands of years in China and Egypt, but it didn’t say anything about America or Europe. When did Westerners adopt the practice? Has it ever passed out of fashion?

(I’m getting ready to write a bit of historical fiction, and I always get hung up on these little details…)

My guess would be the 1920’s, when make-up in general became acceptable. Those nail-buffer thingies might have been in use earlier, though.
