Nail art is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, usually after manicures or pedicures. 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 about the fingernails or toenails.The exact source 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 claws with henna to point sociable status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore pastel and neutral shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their toenails with green and black kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails prepared, head of hair curled and experienced other similar beauty treatments. As in 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 originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their fingernails in this mix for several hours or still left it to dried up. 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 toenail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails to show their social position.
