Nail artwork is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the fingernails. It is a kind of artwork that you can do 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 the cuticles are removed by these procedures and soften your skin around the claws.The exact origins of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the global world around the same time. In ancient Egypt, from 5000 B.C. to 3000 B.C., women would dye their claws with henna to point sociable seductiveness and position. Women of the low class wore neutral and pastel shades, as the upper classes deep wore, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, painted their nails with green and black colored kohl, an ancient plastic. To prepare for war, warriors of Babylon spent hours having their fingernails or toenails prepared, hair acquired and curled other similar beauty treatments. Such as ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first nail polish originated in ancient China. It had been made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veggie dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese dipped their fingernails or toenails in this combination for several hours or left it on to dry. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on the combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toe nail polish with gold and silver dust on their nails showing their social status.
