Nice book if you like to make your own products

I wasn't all that interested in the first part of this book, which describes how hands and nails work, gives exercises and discussed nails/hands and nutrition. As a cosmetics editor, I did enjoy the second part of the book, which deals with problems and nail care. One of my favorite parts of this book is the manicure section. Not only does the author detail a complete 10-step manicure, but she also gives interesting tidbits such as the history of nail polish and nail polish ingredients, a list of tools you might want to keep handy, tips on choosing a manicurist/nail salon, and how to sanitize tools. If you're genuinely interested in learning everything there is to know about the hand, then you'll enjoy reading this book from cover to cover. Readers looking for beauty-specific information might want to concentrate on the sections for nail and skin care. All of the recipes included are treatments you can make at home, though for many of them you'll probably have to make a trip to the local natural food or health store. I'm not one of those people who likes concocting beauty products at home, but I still found it interesting reading.
