Nail skill is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It is a type of artwork that you can do on toenails and fingernails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these methods remove the cuticles and soften the skin round the fingernails.The exact origins of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the global world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their claws with henna to point public status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their nails with black and renewable kohl, an ancient plastic. To prepare for warfare, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their claws prepared, wild hair curled and had other similar beauty treatments. As with 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 nail polish started in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their nails in this combination for several hours or still left it on to dried. Colors ranged from green to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails to show their social position.
