I have yet to find a good nail art book. The vast majority are either photo's only and no tutorials (and most of these very dated), or the nail art is such a low standard that it beggars belief that someone would want to put their name on the cover.

I had high hopes for the book by Olga Bukina that was mentioned in NAILS or NAIL Pro some months ago - we had planned to buy this but were to busy to do this yet. I'm now pleased that I didn't having just read the reviews:

Amazon.com: A Complete Guide To Nail Art And Decorative Manicure (9781409256038): Olga Bukina, Maxim Bukin, Denis Bukin: Books Amazon.com: A Complete Guide To Nail Art And Decorative Manicure (9781409256038): Olga Bukina, Maxim Bukin, Denis Bukin: Books

The Russian and Ukrainian magazines are full of step by steps, but even if you read these languages often the designs are complex as each school that submits these tries to outdo the other.

Apart from our magazine, you can look on manufacturers websites for video's and also look on YouTube - most of this is a low standard though.

you can get the japanese ones on ebay.com they ship worldwide. theyre quite good value because they are huge magazines with big pages and quite high quality printing. theres a fair few step by steps and lots of galleries too for inspiration.
