It is no secret that nail art is one of the biggest beauty trends to surface in the past few years, thanks in part to WAH Nails, the London based-salon helmed by Sharmadean Reid. With that said, who would be better placed to school us in the art of nail art than the WAH Nails team and Sharmadean Reid herself?
Yes, the WAH Nails team has put together a new book—The WAH Nails Book of Nail Art—that is teeming with ideas. Inside, you will find 25 of the most popular nail art designs that the salon has created. These run the gamut from designs that even an amateur can try—think: a newspaper print—through to designs for pros. No doubt, this book will also inspire you to come up with your own designs, making it a must-read for any nail art connoisseur.
The WAH Nails Book of Nail Art ($14.95) is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com ahead of its July 10 release. We suggest you get in on the action, pronto.
Next month, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will celebrate two of the boldest women in fashion— Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada—with their newest fashion exhibition, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. Sadly, not everyone will be able to attend the limited-time exhibition, but you can still get a taste of the exhibit by picking up the accompanying book.
Both the book and the exhibition explore the similarities between the design strategies and philosophies of each woman. The exhibition and book have been framed as a “conversation” between the two women, showing the parallels, their personal choices, and how they approached fashion as a whole. Given that these are two of the most important women fashion designers to exist, this is a must-see exhibit and a must-read book.
Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations ($45) is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com ahead of its May 29 publication date. As for the exhibition, it begins on May 10 and runs through August 19.
Makeup artist Scott Barnes has worked with a slew of stars—including Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, just to name a two. Given his clientele, it is clear that he knows what he is doing, which is why we respectfully suggest you pre-order his upcoming book, Face to Face, as soon as possible.
Face to Face is a follow-up to his best-selling beauty book, About Face. While About Face was an in-depth compilation of tips and tricks, Face to Face is a style guide. Using the techniques you learned in About Face, you will now be able to focus on creating different looks for different occasions. For instance, what should you wear to a business meeting? What should you wear for a night out on the town? Each look will feature step-by-step instructions, not to mention clear photos that will help you along the way.
To pre-order Face to Face ($25) now, head to Amazon.com. It will be released on September 1.
