Nail art is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails. It really is a kind 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 methods and soften your skin across the nails.The exact source of 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 toenails with henna to indicate social seductiveness and position. 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, painted their fingernails with dark and renewable kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their nails prepared, wild hair curled and had other similar beauty treatments. Just as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around the same time, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their toenails in this mixture for several time or left it to dry. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails showing their social position.
