NAILING ART 1 - New "How To" Nail Art Book Launching in September

NAILING ART 1 by Catherine Wong

120-page HardCover book with more than 40 step-by-steps

I'm very excited to announce that Nailing Art 1 is the first book in a series of nail art step-by-step book that will be launching this September.

Nailing Art 1 focuses on wearable nail art that can be done on short to medium length nails. It combines a technical "how to" book and a "look book" rolled into one so it will be perfect for the nail tech as well as the clients to get an idea of how to wear nail art with a twist.

I've been asked so many times about nail art and how practical they can be to wear. I still love all the artisan and ornate designer nails but I think it's time that I venture into something that is very practical yet attractive and beautiful to wear on a daily basis, hence the creation of this book.

As practical as it may be, let me give you the heads up that there are lots of technique and ideas in this book that covers gel painting, gel polish art, embellishment and also my latest 3D embroidery technique that have been worn by me and lasts for weeks still looking impeccable.

 

 

I hope that you will find this book a useful companion.

Happy Nailing !

It's Finally Here!

NailQouture is about the art of designing. It showcases a combination of gel painting and acrylic art and you will get to see some of my award wining designs upclose.

NailQouture is finally here, hot off the press ! I think that if I have nothing else to do all day, I could probably publish a book every other month. Unfortunately the reality is that working on a project like this requires so much time; from conceptualization to the actual creation of the designs, photography, editing to putting it all together. There is indeed a great sense of fulfilment once the project has been concluded and I'm already full of ideas for my next book.

For now, if you want to get your copy to the latest design trend  :

Coming Soon - My 3rd Step By Step Nail Design Book

First there was Nail IT! (2009) then NailQ Signature (2010) and now....NailQouture (2011)

It has been a pet project that I've been working on this year in between my busy schedule and the travels and it's finally coming to fruition. NailQouture ( ~ nail couture) is inspired by couture fashion. It showcases dramatic and spectacular work on nails as a fashion and art installation.

Mediums used are wide and varied, showcasing particularly acrylic L&P, gel paint, prints and embellishment. The concept is bold, outrageous and avant-garde but artistically fused together as wearable designs.

Available from December 2011!
