500 Nail Designs is more an inspiration book rather than a how-to book, so you'll find loads of pictures, but no nail art instruction. i love looking through all the pictures, and will be using it as a coffee table book (and for nail art inspiration, of course!).
all of the following pictures are shown courtesy of Fair Winds Press 2014 :)
here's the cover!
Chelsea Franklin's introduction gives a great idea of what you'll find inside the book :)
the book is divided up into chapters, starting with the basics in Chapter 1: Prints & Patterns, all the way to the fun and abstract in Chapter 6: Movie- & Television-Inspired Designs!
here's a look at Spring from Chapter 2: The Seasons :)
the right page has a little symbol at the top telling which section you're in... this one is Fall!
i love that there are simple designs as well as really involved ones... these Valentine's Day designs look manageable most beginners! the next two photos are from Chapter 4: Holiday Designs.
how gorgeous is this water marble for Thanksgiving?! absolutely stunning.
and here's a peek at the Wedding section... there are designs for someone looking for something super simple and chic, on to things creative and a bit out of the box! these next three pages are from Chapter 5: Special Occasions.
another section is for Birthdays! how cute are those candles :)
this fun section is full of movie and TV inspired manis!
the very last part of the book is called The Perfect Manicure, which gives you step-by-step instructions on how to easily do your own nails!
500 Nail Designs by Chelsea Franklin retails for $24.99. you can find it here on Amazon.com, currently priced at $16.66!
this book is perfect for anyone with a passion for nails... i love looking through all the pictures, even when i'm not planning a manicure! is this something you will be picking up or do you already have it? let me know! Ria :)
