Nail art work is a creative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the toenails. It is a kind of artwork that can be done 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 methods and soften the skin throughout the fingernails or toenails.The exact source of 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 claws with henna to indicate cultural status and seductiveness. Women of the low class wore pastel and neutral shades, while the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their claws with green and black kohl, an ancient beauty. To get ready for warfare, warriors of Babylon spent time having their toenails prepared, scalp curled and acquired other similar beauty treatments. Such as 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 created from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their fingernails or toenails in this mix for several hours or left it on to dry out. Colors ranged from pink to red, with respect to the mixture of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with silver and gold dust on their nails to show their social position.
