Nail art is an innovative way to coloring, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. It really is a type of artwork that you can do on fingernails and toenails, 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 methods and soften the skin around the claws.The exact source of toenail 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 nails with henna to indicate communal seductiveness and status. Women of the lower class wore neutral and pastel shades, while the upper classes wore deep, bright shades. In Babylonia, 3200 B.C., men, not women, coated their fingernails or toenails with dark-colored and inexperienced kohl, an ancient aesthetic. To get ready for conflict, warriors of Babylon put in hours having their toenails prepared, mane curled and acquired other similar beauty treatments. As in ancient Egypt, nail color indicated one's status, black for noblemen and green for the normal man. Around once, 3000 B.C., the first toenail polish started in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, veg dyes, and gum arabic. Chinese language dipped their nails in this mix for several hours or still left it on to dried up. Colors ranged from green to red, depending on combination of the ingredients. Through the Zhou Dynasty, 600 B.C., royalty used this simple toenail polish with gold and silver dust on the nails to show their social position.
