Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, as 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 conflict, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their fingernails or toenails prepared, wild hair got and curled other similar beauty treatments. Such as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the common man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first toenail polish started in ancient China.
