I love nail class too, plus its a good size and stays open at the page i want when i am practicing! I also love the complete nail tech and nail structure and product chemistry.

three books at the moment.

1. Manicure, pedicure and advanced nail techniques by Elaine Almond
2. Nail artistry by Jacqui Jefford
3. Nail structure and product chemistry by Doug Schoon (2005 edition)

Not quite finished with nail artistry yet but strongly recommend them.

I have to say that I would never recommend the first book you mention. It is very very old and WAY out of date information-wise. It was the first book of its kind in the UK many years ago and has been superceded by the others you mention.

I've only got Nailclass.
Whether its L&P, Gel or polish application I have always been able to find everything I wanted

Well you all seem to rate Nailclass by Gigi Rouse, looks like that will be the first nail tech book for me. Just found it on Amazon for £15.00 plus £1.99 sourcing fee. £16.99 total no P&P.

Thanks

 

[sian1979]

as a newbie i have found the two most useful books have been 'an encyclopedia of nail' and 'nail class'. Always willing to try out others though!!!
