Description: you suddenly see another, different lady, aged lady, I should rather say. There is a lot of varnish still sitting there, several retouches, and some over cleaning. It becomes very visible. But also, technology has helped to write new pages of our history, or at least to update pages of our histories.

Chris Christie

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son.

American Politician

Barry McGee

For me, graffiti means making marks on surfaces using just about anything, be it markers, spray, paint, chalk, lipstick, varnish, ink. Or it can be the result of scratches and incisions. The aim is to maintain the energy created by disturbance or excitement in the street.

American Artist

Andrew Lansley

British Politician

Edwin Catmull

American Scientist

Laurie Graham

I'm thankful my parents obliged me to live with the unvarnished truth: I might not have been a looker, but I was a better speller than the prettiest girl in my class, and I was funnier, too.

English Journalist

John Rhys-Davies

Welsh Actor

Cenk Uygur

The older generation grew up on blow-dried anchors, plastic politicians, and an ocean of pretense. Realness seems unvarnished and unpolished to them.

Turkish Lawyer

Michael Arrington

I always try to find the truth in a situation. That unvarnished, pure nugget of truth at the core of every issue that I write about.

American Businessman

LeVar Burton

The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.

American Actor

Carrie Snow

Civilization is hideously fragile and there's not much between us and the horrors underneath, just about a coat of varnish.

American Comedian

Varnish is often mentioned in contexts where protection and preservation are important.

Protective Layer

Varnish is primarily used on wood, but can also be used on other materials.

Wood Finishing

The word indicates not just protection but also aesthetic improvement.

Visual Transformation

When 'varnish' is a verb, it refers to the act of applying this substance.

Application Process

Using 'varnish' highlights the desired outcome, which is often a glossy finish.

Result-Oriented

Here, 'varnish' metaphorically suggests covering up flaws or negative aspects.

Hiding the Truth

This usage often carries a critical tone, implying disapproval of the deception.

Critical Tone
