Nail art work is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type of artwork that can be done on toenails and fingernails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these procedures remove the cuticles and soften your skin across the fingernails or 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 nails with henna to point interpersonal status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their nails with green and black kohl, an ancient plastic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon put in time having their nails prepared, scalp curled and got other similar beauty treatments. As with ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their nails in this mixture for several hours or still left it on to dry out. Colors ranged from green to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails to show their social status.
