Nail fine art is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, after manicures or pedicures usually. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these methods remove the cuticles and soften your skin round the fingernails or toenails.The exact origin of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various parts of the global world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their toenails with henna to indicate social seductiveness and status. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their toenails with black and green kohl, an ancient beauty. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their nails prepared, hair possessed and curled 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 toenail polish started in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails in this mix for several hours or left it on to dried up. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails to show their social status.
