Nail art work is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. 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. Often these procedures remove the cuticles and soften the skin surrounding the fingernails.The exact origins of toe nail 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 fingernails with henna to indicate sociable seductiveness and position. 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, decorated their nails with green and black color kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for battle, warriors of Babylon spent time having their nails prepared, locks curled and got other similar beauty treatments. Such as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish started in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails in this concoction for several time or kept it on to dry out. Colors ranged from green to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple nail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails to show their social status.
