Nail polish
The reason I pick nail polish as one of my topics is because I have a passion of it. In my search though encyclopedia I found that the earliest form of nail polish was used  by Cleopatra. In the wiki article it didn't say anything about that or how it started. The earliest form of nail polish was a combination of crush flowers and Arabic gum and some other ingredient. The main use for nail polish in the past has been to tell be what class other where in. In Egypt people who where in a high class there would wear a dark colour where the lower class would wear a light shimmer colour.

Cosmetics
In the wiki article the information provided has a little about everything in regards to the cosmetic world. The article starts off with a little history about how makeup started being used in the past and then moves on to talking about the more ethical side of the cosmetic world talking about the controversy and criticism that the cosmetics industry has received. The article continues to talk about the different kinds of skin types there is and how different kinds of products works better for the skin types.

The article goes right in to talking about eye makeup and how that is usually the main focus for  makeup and  finishes up  with lipstick .The article over all talks about makeup and specifically  just makeup it doesn't talk about anything else like industry and ingredients.

The wiki article seems to have an in abundance of information and sources. The article has explored so much more of the makeup world. The article talks on so many different points, from the history of makeup, the way to use it, the different kinds of products out there and explains them all. Where the Britannia article only talks about specific types of makeup. It only shows forms of makeup like foundation and eye makeup .It gives little to nothing on the history of the products and then gives a little information on hair products.

The articles talk about the similar information but at different degrees and in different styles .The wiki article talks about everything, the history, the ethic, the skin types ,the products, the ingredients, the industry, the professions ,and even the psychology behind cosmetic. Where the Britannia article just talks about makeup. It doesn't go in to detail about anything and the information that the article seem like common  knowledge about make that anyone who use the products would already know.

The Britannia article covers four areas of cosmetic world. The history, preparation of the skin, foundation and lip stick. Then the article starts talking about skin care and how to wash the readers face and keep it clean. Then the article moves on to telling the readers about the important of cold creams and the classic foundation, what it is for, how to use it, tells some interesting fact about face powder. Lastly the article talks about eyes and lips make up but it doesn’t go in to many details in both of them but gives a little information about hair products.

The two articles are both good and bad they both have a lot to offer in versus topics but the wiki article had more information overall. The wiki article starts of talks about the history of how the Egyptian and Greek people used makeup and how they made it. In the wiki totally of three in need of citations message.

They both have the information but wiki has much more .It is far more use full than the Britannia with the information that it has. The wiki article talks all aspects of the cosmetics world. It was easy access to get to the wiki article where for the Britannia article the reader need to pay for it or go to library to get it.

In the wiki article it gives a list of all the references that they used .In total the wiki article used 47 different books and websites .As well as gives three extra books to look at, with an ISBN number to find the books easier.
