A Complete Guide to Nail Art and Decorative Manicure by Olga Petrova, Denis Bukin, and Maxim Bukin, is an English translation of a best-selling Russian nail art how-to guide. For professional nail techs, the book’s biggest asset is its nail art photo collection on pages 56 through 90 (many of which feature the winners of a competition hosted by the authors’ website, www.nogti.com), including step-by-steps. Much of the rest of the book may be too basic for professionals (such as instructions on how to prep nails and explanations of basic terminology) and is geared toward consumers. Complete Guide is available in both paperback and e-book formats.
