My Spot: RED AND BLACK LACE NAIL ART

Saturday, April 15, 2017

Nail fine art is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails. It really 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften your skin around the toenails.The exact origins of toe 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 toenails with henna to point cultural seductiveness and position. 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, coated their claws with black and renewable kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To get ready for battle, warriors of Babylon put in time having their nails prepared, wild hair curled and had 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 toenail polish originated in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this blend for several hours or remaining it on to dried out. Colors ranged from red to red, depending on the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails to show their social status.
