Nail artwork is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften your skin around the toenails.The exact origin of toenail 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 fingernails or toenails with henna to point cultural seductiveness and status. Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their nails with green and charcoal kohl, an ancient beauty. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their fingernails prepared, head of hair curled and got 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 started in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their claws in this concoction for several hours or still left it on to dried out. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on the mixture of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails showing their social status.
