A "Klutz" Inspiration: Great Artworks on fingers and toes!, October 3, 2002
This review is from: Nail Art (Spiral-bound)
~ - ~
We found this kit when Amanda, (age 11) was birthday shopping for her sister Kris's 10th birthday. We have had good luck with the "Klutz" series, and this kit was no exception.

The Polish that comes with the kit is easily peeled off. This can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your point of view. It does make changing the nail fashions quicker and easier. The polish was a good consistency for nail artwork, but any good cosmetic brand of nail polish will work.

The real bonus here was the inspiring book of designs, which contained easy-to- follow instructions for decorating nails with whimsical designs. There were ideas for the American Flag, paw prints, ladybugs, flowers, holiday designs and many, many more. My favorite was this adorable little "optical illusion" snake which seems to be crawling across your toes, when you paint it using all 5 toenails!
For preteens, especially artistically inclined girls, this kit was a great source of entertaining ideas.

I definitely recommend it. It's very good for ages 9-13. Kris loved receiving it for her birthday, and she even gets to use it sometimes, when Amanda isn't busy studying the book for new ideas!

Great Gift..., July 7, 2000
This review is from: Nail Art (Spiral-bound)
This is a cute book. It has hundreds of designs. It even tells you how to mix colors. The designs are great, even though some of them are crazy (Like the one of a mouth)This book will show you how to have beautiful nails in no time. I also like this book because it goes step by step in each of the designs. The nail colors are cute, too!

Doesn't work too well, November 8, 2005
This review is from: Nail Art (Spiral-bound)
Nail Art is a great idea and the book has many cute and creative nail projects. However, we have found that it is very hard to duplicate the designs in the book. My daughter, age 10, can't do it herself. I also have a hard time. Then, when you finally get something you like, the polish peels right off. Peel-off polish is a fantastic concept, but it would be better if it at least lasted a few hours. We love the concept, but I rated it a 2 because it really isn't usable. It's also expensive, so I feel it is a waste of your money.
