Nail art is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the toenails. It 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these methods and soften your skin throughout the fingernails or toenails.The exact source of nail 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 public seductiveness and position. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their fingernails with black and renewable kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for war, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails prepared, hair curled and got other similar beauty treatments. As in 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 started in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their fingernails or toenails in this combination for several hours or remaining it to dry. Colors ranged from red to red, with regards to the combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails showing their social status.
