Disappointing. Despite the nice cover, a lot of the nail designs were underwhelming and actually really ugly. There was also not enough variety. Most of the designs were variations of the similar concepts.

Very informative. I read this from my library and kind of want to buy it now. The only downside is I’ll have to change some of the colors because of the supplies I have.

Cool designs, but so much detail work. Not really for beginners. Does have some good tips. There are a lot of short cuts in other books and youtube videos that make nail art easier.
