It is a kind 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 about the nails.The exact source of toe nail 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 claws with henna to point communal position and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their nails with black and green kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for warfare, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails or toenails prepared, wild hair got and curled 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 nail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their claws in this concoction for several hours or still left it on to dried. Colors ranged from red to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on the nails to show their social status.
