Nail artwork is an innovative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type 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 across the toenails.The exact origin of toenail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in various parts of the global 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 sociable status and seductiveness. 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, painted their toenails with black and green kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To prepare for conflict, warriors of Babylon put in time having their fingernails prepared, hair curled and experienced 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 toe nail polish originated in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their fingernails or toenails in this combination for several hours or kept it on to dried. Colors ranged from pink to red, depending on the mixture of the ingredients. During the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails showing their social position.
