Spectacular Nail Art: A Step-by-Step Guide to 35 Gorgeous Designs

With tips, tricks, and step-by-step how-tos, Spectacular Nail Art has 35 designs to give any look the perfect final touch. Today, great nails mean more than a coat of pink polish. With a variety of designs, ideas, and patterns, you can find the right fit for any occasion. Novices needn’t worry, either, because every project—from sparkling Champagne Chic to the wintry, Christmasy Snappy Snowflakes—includes easy-to-follow instructions and handy step-by-step photos, and most are really simple to create. Have a spooky Halloween with black-and-white cobwebbed nails; hail the red-white-and blue and stars-and-stripes forever with Positively Patriotic; and celebrate the coming of spring with vintage fancy flowers. Go wild with animal prints. Get playful with retro dots, or wedding-ready with pearly bubbles. Tips on nail care, products, and basic manicures (including a French one) help you keep your hands in tip-top shape. One thing’s for sure: with this art on your nails, you’ll never want to wear gloves again!
