Nail art work is an innovative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the claws. It really is a kind of artwork that can be done on fingernails and toenails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these methods take away the cuticles and soften your skin about the fingernails.The exact origins 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 nails with henna to indicate public seductiveness and position. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, decorated their fingernails with black and inexperienced kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for conflict, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their nails prepared, 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 the same time, 3000 B.C., the first toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this blend for several hours or still left it on to dry out. Colors ranged from pink 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 their nails to show their social position.
