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 these methods take away the cuticles and soften the skin surrounding the toenails.The exact origin of toe nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various 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 point public position and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their toenails with green and charcoal kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To prepare for warfare, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their claws prepared, hair curled and got other similar beauty treatments. Such 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 had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their toenails in this concoction for several hours or left it to dried. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on mixture of the ingredients. During 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.
