Nail skill is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the claws. It is a type 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. Usually the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften your skin about the fingernails.The exact source of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different 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 status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their nails with green and black colored kohl, an ancient cosmetic. To prepare for battle, warriors of Babylon spent time having their fingernails or toenails prepared, wild hair had and curled 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 nail polish started in ancient China. It had been created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this mixture for several hours or still left it on to dried out. Colors ranged from pink to red, depending on combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails to show their social status.
