Nail artwork is an innovative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these methods take away the cuticles and soften your skin throughout the toenails.The exact origins of toenail 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 cultural status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their claws with green and charcoal kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon put in time having their claws prepared, wild hair curled and had other similar beauty treatments. As with 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 toenail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their fingernails in this blend for several time or left it on to dry. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails to show their social position.
