Nail art work is an innovative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the claws. It is a kind of artwork that can be done on toenails and fingernails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften the skin across the fingernails.The exact source of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their nails with henna to indicate social status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their fingernails with dark and inexperienced kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon spent time having their nails prepared, scalp curled and possessed other similar beauty treatments. Just as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around the same time, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish originated in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their toenails in this combination for several hours or remaining it to dried up. Colors ranged from pink to red, depending on the combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails to show their social position.
