Renowned, multi-medium artist Dzine presents NAILED: The History of Nail Culture and DZINE: Damiani Editore - a must have book for lovers of all things nails.
Available from The Standard the book chronicles the history of nail adornment and nail art...and what a history it is!
The book, a work of art in itself, discusses the use of artificial nails as far back as 3000BC during the Chinese Ming Dynasty, the Greek practice in the 18th century of using pistachio shells, the ever-developing world of astounding nail art today and everything in between. Add to this some outstanding photography and you've got a seriously cool book on your hands...or your coffee table.
Enjoy!
Until then...geek on.
