Nail art is an innovative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It really is a kind of artwork that you can do 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 remove the cuticles and soften your skin surrounding the fingernails or toenails.The exact source of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their claws with henna to point cultural status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their toenails with black and inexperienced kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon spent time having their claws prepared, hair curled and had 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 originated in ancient China. It had been created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails in this concoction for several time or kept it to dried up. Colors ranged from pink to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails to show their social status.
