Style on Hand : Perfect Nail and Skin Care

Summary: Style On Hand
Review: I searched long and hard for a book that differentiated diverse approaches and treatments to nail care, would give a large, detailed photo showing how to do simple, but important things, like how to properly file a nail. But, this book gave me more. It classified types of polishes, approaches, looks and trends with the inner strategies of a good nail tech. It teaches you how to care for your hands and feet, but also, how to deal with emerging problems. Important and timeless sections on how
to do your own nails professionally were straightforward and unadorned, as they should be, and it offered detailed descriptions with photos demonstrating the right way to use basic tools. But, then the book took flight! In an interesting contrast to a traditional "how to" book, it suddenly interspersed "editorial" images in the sleek, sophisticated, format of a haute fashion fashion magazine, to further emphasize the many ways nails could be arresting. The book achieved this through color, "metallics, frosts, jewel-tones" using jewelled rings as a foil, underwater shots showing in blues and greens; texture interest, design concepts or flower embellishments tripping across the pages.

Summary: A beautiful book with diverse appeal!
Review: STYLE ON HAND is a fun book with beautifully artistic photos of hands and nails to which one can aspire! It's so refreshing to see nail fashion progress beyond the traditional red polish to encompass nail art; painting one's nails takes on great new meaning! I especially love the cool idea of painting daisies on the nails and the advice of how to keep your nails looking professionally manicured (without the expense!). All of my high school students LOVE this book, as do many of the faculty! With such diverse appeal, STYLE ON HAND would make a great gift for occasions ranging from Mother's Day to Sweet 16 Birthdays to a unique thank-you present.

Summary: A thorough and complete nail guide for the 90's and beyond!
Review: The first time I "read" this book, I simply turned the pages and looked at the beautiful photographs! Captioning each photo with a description of polish color and technique used is very informative. I can't wait to start trying some of the more bold new looks I've been seeing lately. This books makes it possible to try these ideas in the privacy of your own home. I have very weak natural nails and am looking forward to trying the many tips and ideas found in this book that will make my nails stronger and prettier.
