Nail art work is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It is a type 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these methods and soften your skin around the fingernails.The exact origin of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various parts of the world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their fingernails with henna to point interpersonal position and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their nails with dark and inexperienced kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their nails prepared, head of hair got and curled other similar beauty treatments. Such as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the common man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It had been created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their nails in this combination for several time or still left it on 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 toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails showing their social position.
