Nail art is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It is a type 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 the cuticles are removed by these methods and soften your skin round the toenails.The exact origins of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their fingernails with henna to indicate sociable seductiveness and position. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their fingernails with dark-colored and inexperienced kohl, an ancient beauty. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their fingernails prepared, hair acquired and curled 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 was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails in this mix for several hours or left it on to dry out. Colors ranged from pink to red, depending on mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails to show their social position.
