Nail skill is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a kind of artwork that can be done on toenails and fingernails, after manicures or pedicures usually. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these procedures take away the cuticles and soften the skin about the nails.The exact source of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in several 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 indicate sociable status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their nails with green and black color kohl, an ancient beauty. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon put in time having their fingernails or toenails prepared, mane curled and acquired other similar beauty treatments. As in ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this combination for several hours or kept it on to dry out. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails showing their social status.
