Nail art work is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It is a type of artwork that you can do 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 remove the cuticles and soften the skin surrounding the nails.The exact origin of nail 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 nails with henna to point communal position and seductiveness. Women of the lower class wore pastel and neutral shades, as 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 claws prepared, mane curled and had other similar beauty treatments. As with 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 made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their toenails in this blend for several hours or left it to dried up. 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 silver and gold dust on their nails showing their social position.
