Remember all that 'nailclass' is not just a good read ... it is a workbook.
'Nailclass' is a book that is dedicated to teaching the techniques that make your work in the salon both efficient and beautiful.
You need to sit with it and work along with it chapter by chapter until you get the techniques down and mastered.
Just reading through the book will not help you to learn the techniques.
'nailclass' is not a text book. It will not tell you how to set up your table or what the local council demands of you.
It will teach you how to do beautiful work if you work with it.
By the way, lizbird, my name is pronounced with a soft G as if you were saying it the French way. Gigi as in the film by that name.

There isn't enough room to list all of my books- I have a literal library. My students are allowed to "borrow" from the library provided they do not leave the library. If there is a paticular article, chapter or book they are interested in, I have been known to make arrangements with copy right for that article or chapter and copy for them or send them a link to buy the book for themselves.
Pivot Point International just published their Salon Fundamentals Nail Technology text book, I'm impressed, it is one of the most comprehensive up to date technical or student texts I've come across in quite some time. That's the book my next nail class will be using, great teacher support material, experiements, examples and photos to help involve learning some of the most boring materials.
Top 3 picks-
Nailclass (easy to get- I refer people to the site often)
Nail Structure and Product Chemistry
The Salon Fundamentals Nail Technology text
