I bought this book halfway through doing a nail technician course and I found it fantastic. Great tips and hints, gives good advice and explains everything clearly.
My favourite parts were the trouble-shooting pages with explanations for common problems and how to solve them. There are also good sections on learning to be a trainer, nail art and entering competitions.
If you are a complete beginner like me then this book is perfect.

This book is a very informative guide for students as well as professionals. Very interesting for me as i am a nail tech in Australia and like to know about the standards around the world. The Chapter on nail art is very involved and has some amazing pics. I am very happy i bought this book!!

This is a book that provides comprehensive and detailed instruction in all aspects of Nail technology. Written by industry experts; it clearly illustrates the authors' expertise in this subject. For those Beauty Therapists who want to specialise in Nail technology and become Nail Technicians this book is a superb reference guide. A main feature of this book is the attention to detail in every aspect of becoming a Nail technician. Not only does it provide all the necessary study skills for becoming a professional; it provides opportunities for studying competition nail art and becoming a lecturer! It is clear the authors are passionate about the Nail industry and this book demonstrated this to a high degree. In educating students; this book also serves to ultimately raise the profile of the Nail technology industry. For lecturers who teach Beauty Therapy like me; I believe this can only be for the greater good of teaching standards within the Beauty Therapy industry.

I bought this book for my sister in law as a birthday gift. She is actually doing a nail technology course. I am so excited to give her. It has everything she has been telling me she is learning in her classes and I know she will appreciate it. I live in the Caribbean and was pleased with the timely delivery. This book arrived a week ahead of delivery date. It explains everything in detail so I am learning as well. I know she will be happy with this birthday gift since this is the business she wants to go into.

This book offers a great deal of information. However. It was written in England and that is the main focus of the information in this book.

Great book with up-to-date information. Book goes into some detail about starting a nail business as well. I was impressed with the quality and the extensive information, techniques, tech tips and excellent pictures. The heavy, glossy pages mean durability when returning back to the book for reference. I would highly recommend this book to any nail tech or nail tech student. It's a book well worth the cost and a priceless addition to my collection.

A great learning tool for a trainee Nail Technician and a great reference point for qualified Techs who need to brush up on certain areas. Good photos, easy to understand explanations, great step-by-steps and a large amount of topics covered. Very helpful and worth the money.
