Nail art is an innovative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails. It is a kind of artwork that you can do 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 methods take away the cuticles and soften the skin surrounding the claws.The exact origins of toe 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 toenails with henna to point cultural position and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their claws with green and black colored kohl, an ancient plastic. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their claws prepared, hair got and curled other similar beauty treatments. Just as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the common man. Around the same time, 3000 B.C., the first toenail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this mix for several hours or left it on to dried. Colors ranged from pink to red, with regards to the mixture 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 to show their social position.
