Nail artwork is a creative way to color, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It is a kind of artwork that can be done on toenails and fingernails, usually after manicures or pedicures. A manicure and a pedicure are beauty treatments that trim, shape, and polish the nail. Often these procedures remove the cuticles and soften your skin throughout the claws.The exact origins of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in several parts of the global world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their fingernails with henna to point sociable 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, coated their fingernails with dark-colored and renewable kohl, an ancient plastic. To prepare for warfare, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails or toenails prepared, mane acquired and curled 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 nail polish originated in ancient China. It was created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their toenails in this mix for several hours or still left it on to dry. Colors ranged from red to red, with respect to the combination of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails showing their social position.
