Nail artwork is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the toenails. It really 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften the skin surrounding the toenails.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 fingernails or toenails with henna to indicate public position and seductiveness. Women of the lower 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 colored kohl, an ancient beauty. To get ready for battle, warriors of Babylon put in time having their nails prepared, head of hair had and curled 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 toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their toenails in this mix for several hours or still left it on to dried out. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on mixture 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.
