Nail fine art is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It really is a type of artwork that can be done on fingernails and toenails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Usually the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften the skin about the fingernails or toenails.The exact source of toe 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 toenails with henna to indicate interpersonal position and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their toenails with green and black kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To prepare for battle, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails or toenails prepared, head of hair acquired 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 nail polish originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their claws in this mixture for several hours or kept it to dried. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on mixture of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails showing their social status.
