Nail art is an innovative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, 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 procedures and soften the skin surrounding the fingernails or toenails.The exact origin of nail 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 toenails with henna to indicate public seductiveness and position. 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 nails with green and black color kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To prepare for conflict, warriors of Babylon spent time having their claws prepared, hair curled and experienced other similar beauty treatments. As with 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 toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their nails in this combination for several time or remaining it to dried. Colors ranged from green to red, with respect to the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails to show their social position.
