The Secret to Eye-catching Nails: Step-by-step nail art tutorials - Paperback

by Debbie Page-Wood (Author)

Who doesn't love getting compliments on their nails from random strangers?

With tips, tricks, and step-by-step how-to guides, The Secret to Eye Catching Nails has 53 designs for you to learn from. Novices needn't worry, because the chapters flow from one into the other, using what was learned in the previous chapter to help create designs in the next, and most are really simple to recreate.

From understanding colour, colour schemes and mixing colours, to tools of the trade and various nail art mediums, this book covers it all. It includes working with pigments, chrome, creating ombré colour fades, various stamping techniques (as well as a few TikTok hacks), how to create different types of French manicures, how to use nail art foils, decals and glitter, as well as how to hand paint nail art. Debbie shares what she's learned from experience, in the hopes that it will help encourage novice and new graduate nail techs to think outside the box and do unexpected things on their own nail art journeys.
