Booklist
It seems that all kinds of surface visuals can be labeled as a craft. The latest addition to such now well-accepted techniques as faux and decorative painting is nail art--whether or not it's recognized by renowned institutions. One of the more practical and most helpful sections features the elements of a good manicure and pedicure, aided by great close-up color photographs and professional tips--for instance, nail buffing stimulates blood flow, use acetone-free nail enamel remover to avoid dehydration, and more. Otherwise, the focus is on re-creating more than 40 styles, ranging from the perfect French polish to an embedded diamond stud. Directions are clear, relying primarily on visually arresting photographs. Barbara Jacobs

Book Description
Beautiful nails--whether they are natural or extended, glittery or jeweled--are at your fingertips. No matter what the occasion, whatever style of clothes you're wearing, there's a stunning design here to complement it. Silver polish and a diagonal line of rhinestones will give you a glitzy look, while candy-pink polish covered with lace results in a delicate, textured effect. Whole-nail decals are a quick way to make a glamorous statement--choose colors and decals that match your outfit or accessories for a great coordinated appearance! Or, paint on a fabulous pattern, such as thin wavy lines onto which you can add stick-on art. And, with some special equipment and materials you can get an even more dramatic impression: airbrushing, for example, and false nails. Bonus: advice on nail care, polishes, manicures and pedicures, and more.
