false <![CDATA[Rescue Your Nails]]> 3640024 1 Why do women care so much about their nails? It's simple: Well-groomed nails make your hands seem more alive, more important, and definitely sexier. And suddenly it's not just your hands feeling that way, but your whole self—which is why nails, and nail salons, are a huge and growing business, with more than 53,000 salons in the U.S. doing some $6.4 billion in business each year. But now you can skip the spa and do your own nails—and here's the perfect author to show how. Ji Baek, the high-energy owner of New York's hottest nail salons, the Rescue Beauty Lounge—written about from Vogue to InStyle, Lucky to Harper's Bazaar, used by designers and stylists, patronized by actors, fashionistas, professionals, and more—presents the definitive guide to beautiful hands and feet. Emphasizing natural beauty, cleanliness, and simplicity, it covers the science of the nail, and why it's important to take vitamins, file regularly, and moisturize constantly; the care of the nail, with step-by-step illustrated directions to achieving professional-quality home manicures and pedicures, including tools, techniques, lotions, polishes; the dressing of the nail—shapes, colors, and styles; the health of the nail—how to heal split nails, brittle nails, and ingrown nails. She demystifies the salon, from dealing with technicians to explaining exactly what is in that bottle of mysterious pink lotion; tells how to care for the skin around the nails, including solutions to common problems like calluses and sunspots; and even starts a virtual NBA (nail-biter's anonymous), with tips for quitting the nailbiting habit. 3682912 5 5 2008 Rescue Your Nails total:5|4:4|3:1| 5 19 10 3 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 17 09:57:50 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 10:04:51 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 11:23:30 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 11:26:09 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 14:28:58 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 07:36:24 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 09 22:05:41 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 22:05:43 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 10 19:40:59 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 19:40:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 04 07:03:19 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 07:03:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 27 11:37:13 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 11:37:13 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Feb 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Sep 27 08:20:25 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 08:21:18 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Aug 12 15:22:38 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 15:22:46 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jul 04 11:22:45 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 11:22:45 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3640024
