Synopsis

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.

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!
