Nail fine art is an innovative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the toenails. It is a kind of artwork that you can do on toenails and fingernails, after manicures or pedicures usually. 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 about the fingernails or toenails.The exact origin of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in several 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 cultural seductiveness and position. 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 claws with green and black colored kohl, an ancient plastic. To prepare for battle, warriors of Babylon spent time having their toenails prepared, wild hair curled and acquired other similar beauty treatments. As in ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the common man. Around the same time, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their claws in this concoction for several hours or still left 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 toenail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails showing their social status.
