Nail skill is an innovative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the toenails. It 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these methods and soften the skin about the fingernails or toenails.The exact origins of toenail 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 or toenails with henna to point social status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their nails with green and black colored kohl, an ancient plastic. To get ready for battle, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their fingernails prepared, mane acquired and curled other similar beauty treatments. As with 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 toe nail polish started in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this concoction for several time or still left it on to dried out. Colors ranged from red to red, with regards to the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails to show their social position.
