Nail fine art is an innovative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails. It really is a kind of artwork that can be done 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 about the nails.The exact origin of 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 indicate sociable position 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, painted their claws with dark-colored and renewable kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for warfare, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their toenails prepared, scalp experienced and curled other similar beauty treatments. As in 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 originated in ancient China. It had been created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this mix for several hours or kept it on to dried up. Colors ranged from pink to red, with respect to the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails to show their social status.
