Nail fine art is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It is a type of artwork that you can do on toenails and fingernails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these procedures take away the cuticles and soften your skin surrounding the fingernails.The exact origin of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various parts of the 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 social status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their nails with black and renewable kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To get ready for battle, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their toenails prepared, head of 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 normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first toenail polish started in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their claws in this concoction for several hours or remaining it to dry. Colors ranged from red to red, with regards to the mixture of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails to show their social status.
