Nail Artx$20.97
  (30 reviews)
Best Price: $20.97
Since its publication just over a decade ago, Nail Art has sold more than a million copies. So we feel just a tiny bit responsible for the global trend of girls decorating their fingernails with ladybugs, cow spots, and polka dots. That’s a lot of fancy fingernails — and when you factor in toenails, too, the mind reels. With our six water-based, non-toxic paints, girls can make any design you can dream up. The paints are super easy to use, and if you make a mistake (or just change your mind) it’s easy to get a do-over. Simply peel off the nail polish and — voila! — you have a clean canvas. As we embark on a second decade of nail art mania, we’re updating the book with a fresh, new cover and keeping the time-tested, full-color, inspirational photographic feast inside just as it is. Why mess with success? Girls still love bumblebees, berries, butterflies, bears, baseballs... and that’s just the beginning. From apples to zigzags, there’s something here to please even the most finicky fingertips.

A "Klutz" Inspiration: Great Artworks on fingers and toes!
By A1W7TXSVG81XD0 on 2002-10-03
~ - ~
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...

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!
Creative ideas
By AEBQGX28KUFN2 on 2005-05-26
My 11 year old daughter wanted this and has had a great time trying out the many different ideas for nail designs. I couldn't be happier about the book. The nail polish, however, peels off too easily. It comes off in the shower, or just under very normal playing conditions. As a previous reviewer said, this can be an advantage or disadvantage. No struggling with the nail polish remover to get something off. It's just frustrating when she's worked so hard to come up with something pretty and it falls off before she's had a chance to enjoy it. Plan to buy some other nail polish to use with this fantastic book if you want the designs to last.
Doesn't work too well
By APLRZN6V166DP on 2005-11-09
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.
simple and surprising!!!

When my daughter saw this book on the shelf on the kid's section, her eyes actually shone!!! She always comes with me to the manicure, so she got very exited with the idea of also being able to do her nails in a fun way, that is why I think this book is suitable for all ages, because it is nice to hear the compliments that the people say about your flowers, bunnies or bees on your nails!
- great gift
By A3OCEGD5COMDHT on 2005-04-16
I got this when i was 9. I loved painting my nails and peeling it off because its fun. Now I'm fourteen and still use the book. I can now even write letters on nails!

This book was fun, and I use in for different occasions. I suggest that you should buy this for anyone older then 9 or 10, because some of the designs are kind of difficult. The nail polish that comes in the set peels of in a few hours, but if you mess up you can just peel it off. I used a clear overcoat if I liked what I had done and depending of how many coats you put on, it would last longer. The nail polish in this package also comes of really easily so there aren't any huge messes if you spill it, but, for me, it seems impossible for it to spill.
- Nail Art ROCKS!

- O.K.

I didn't reallyt like this book. The nail polish that comes with this book is very poor quality, it's peel off and doesn't last very long. The designs are cute though. ...
- nice but polish is chalky
By A2X7NPVGM39B2P on 2005-07-19
the polish is chalky and comes off in hours or maybe a day. Maybe that's a good thing since my daughter only wants to polish her own nails/toes. I let her use the kit with her friends- outside- and they spilled polish but it wiped RIGHT OFF the table (plastic)and even came off the garage floor with a quick wipe. Good step by step directions for some cute designs in here too. you probably need a thinner brush to really have the look they suggest, but i had one from Michael's we used. FUN GIFT
- overall---great--details--so-so
By A8GGS20C94NO6 on 2005-08-07
this nail art is real fun. it has step by step directions on most of the projects--detail--it had quite a few with just nails and no steps and they were pretty hard things
it has terrible nail polish it come off immediattly you can just peel it and the whole thing just comes off and that is the worst part so make sure if you are buying this( i advise it) have other nail polish handy.

My 5 year old and 3 year old twins love to have their nails polished. The book has some nice ideas to create on a small nails. It suggest the use of a toothpick to make small designs. I purchased an embossing tool at the craft store that seems to work better. I think it is a little too busy to decorate all your nails as demonstrated in the book, we only decorate ring fingers and big toes. The most popular design has been the flower. We add a rhinestone in the center for sparkle. The paint in the kit dissolves with water, so if you really like your design, add some clear polish on top.
- great fun
By A1OCXW78XAFVKF on 2007-07-06
Great fun! The book has some great ideas that we used at my five year old's birthday party. Quite a hit! The yellow polish arrived dried out, so I had to give the product only 4 stars, but I figure the polish is easily replaceable. My 2 1/2 year old son wanted his nails painted too; thankfully the polish works great on skin also (and is washable with soap and water or even a baby wipe) and he settled for a rocket and airplane on the top of his feet(those ideas are in the book too).
- Bad Amazon order-Klutz
By A2QKP67T1QKKMN on 2008-04-16
I ordered the Klutz Nail Art from Amazon. I was very disappointed when 2 of the nail polishes were dried SOLID with the brush broken and the rest were very dry and a horrible consistency. Just get this at Barnes and Nobles. Not worth the disappointment.
- Adorable
By on 2000-06-13
This book is adorable and fun. It has great ideas. The nail colors and color making chart are great. Have fun!
- The Greatest book in the whole wide universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By on 1999-01-04
I definently give this book a gazillon stars because my cousin got it for a christmas present, and so we started to paint, i felt like i was a real artist(even though i'm the worst!)
- Great book for the age range 9-12.
By on 1998-06-02
While I was buying books for an adult student in cosmetology, I found this book to have a lot of good basic techniques in nail art, even though is is written for the age range of 9-12. The book comes with water based paints which even the adult can use for practice.
- Very Creative
By on 1998-11-23
This book shows you step by step how to paint creative and easy pictures on your finger nails. I really liked this book. Even for people who aren't perfect artist, this book makes it easy!
- a new generation for nails!
By on 2005-06-29
I`ve always loved to paint my nails and this is the ultimate way to do them! You can make lady bugs, bees, flowers, stripes, my specialty fishs, and for halloween ghosts, monsters, cats, witches! And for a quick removal the nail polish comes off real easily so you don`t have to worry about nail polish remover!

I really liked this item and my kids do too, the book has many great ideas and very easy to work with. The cost of the book is well in the pricing range and recommend to anyone else to buy.
- not so good
By on 2006-01-15
i purchased this book for my cousin who is 7 years old. She looked at it and thought it was cool. When she opened it she found the instruction booklet missing. Also when she painted her fingernails, the nail polish was peel- off, and came off within a few hours. This product is un-satisfatory, and i suggest you don't purchase it.
- Great product
By A11FCJ7V4G5NPL on 2007-01-22
My daughter is 7 years old and loves this book. It comes full of ideas and are pretty easy to draw. i am no artist and yet i can manage to draw whatever pictures they illustrate! after putting a clear coat over our pictures the nail polish does not chip or come off easily at all!
- yay?
By on 2007-03-07
this book was fun, but some of the designs are hard to do. it takes a long time for me to do it. and when i was done the first time, it peeled right off! but i guess that can be a good OR bad thing. so the second time around..i put clear nail polish on it. it worked fine.
- Fun!
By A3DMGP7ZE7R15M on 2007-11-06
I bought this for my daughter's 11th birthday and she really loves it. It has great ideas and pictures illustrating what creative things you can do with nail polish. The only reason it didn't receive 5 stars from me is because the nail polish is of a poor quality and cracks and chips almost immediately. It's not a big problem since we can use nail polish we already have to create the designs.
