Tips, techniques, and hundreds of designs to paint on fingernails (and toenails, too). No artistic genius required. Comes with six colors of non-toxic, peel-off nail paints — our exclusive formula.
Synopsis
Since its publication just over a decade ago, Nail Art has sold more than a million copies. So we feel just a tiny bit responsible for the global trend of girls decorating their fingernails with ladybugs, cow spots, and polka dots. That’s a lot of fancy fingernails — and when you factor in toenails, too, the mind reels. With our six water-based, non-toxic paints, girls can make any design you can dream up. The paints are super easy to use, and if you make a mistake (or just change your mind) it’s easy to get a do-over. Simply peel off the nail polish and — voila! — you have a clean canvas. As we embark on a second decade of nail art mania, we’re updating the book with a fresh, new cover and keeping the time-tested, full-color, inspirational photographic feast inside just as it is. Why mess with success? Girls still love bumblebees, berries, butterflies, bears, baseballs... and that’s just the beginning. From apples to zigzags, there’s something here to please even the most finicky fingertips.
