Nail fine art is a creative way to coloring, 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 these procedures take away the cuticles and soften the skin across the claws.The exact source of nail 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 fingernails with henna to indicate social status and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, colored their fingernails or toenails with dark-colored and green kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for battle, warriors of Babylon spent time having their claws prepared, hair curled and had other similar beauty treatments. As with ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around the same time, 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 nails in this combination for several time or left it to dried up. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on the combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails showing their social status.
