A Complete Guide to Manicure and Pedicure
By Leigh Toselli
Leigh Tosselli is a former model who branched out into fashion design and
makeup. She is fashion co-ordinator and designer for several magazines and
large retailors, not to mention being the consultant and presentor of several
fashio and beauty-oriented TV programmes.
A Complete Guide to Manicure & Pedicure is crammed full of useful information,
including insights into hand, foot and nail problems and their solutions. This
beautifully illustrated full-color book takes a practical and visual approach
to caring for your hands and feet. It includes vast amounts of do-it-yourself
advice from nail technicians, beauty therapists, podiatrists and even shoe
designers, even going so far as to explain the structure of hands and feet
so you can better understand how to care for them.
The book contains some superb step-by-step procedures - all fully illustrated
at each stage - from home manicures and pedicures, to salon manicures and pedicures.
It covers gel nails, French manicures, vamp nails, spa treatments, even detail
on how to use mehndi henna body painting techniques.
A Complete guide to Manicure & Pedicure will be equally useful to beauty
professionals and students, and particularly those who want to achieve expert
manicure and pedicure results at home.
Even covered are sections on the selection
and proper use of cuticle scissors, nippers, files and other
essential tools, not to mention moisturizing creams and oils. It also includes
full details on fitting acrylic
nails and tips, using nail wraps, and emergency fixes for broken nails, plus
professional tips for a perfect nail polish.
A Complete guide to Manicure & Pedicure should be
an essential part of your makeup repertoire. It covers absolutely everything
you need to know. You'll need no other manicure book after reading this. Well
worth the modest investment! And as always, I only recommend books which I've
read, have on my shelf, and use all the time myself.
