Nail fine art is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails or toenails. It is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, after manicures or pedicures usually. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften the skin about the toenails.The exact origins of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various parts of the global world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their fingernails with henna to point cultural status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their toenails with black and green kohl, an ancient plastic. To get ready for warfare, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their toenails prepared, head of hair possessed 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 once, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish started 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 remaining it on to dry out. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails to show their social position.
