A shoujo fantasy that brings readers into the magical world of nail art. Transported to a foreign land where magic flows through painted nails, Saara is determined to become this world’s first decorated nail artist — creating designs that are as powerful as they are beautiful! While Saara’s designs may look perfect, they’re a total disaster when it comes to casting magic. No one is quicker to point that out than Rocco — a mage of unparalleled power — who offers sharp-tongued “guidance” for reasons Saara can’t quite understand. When Saara gets stranded in a rainstorm with Hou, Rocco’s hot-headed apprentice, something about him seems off. For all his bluster, there may be more to the young wizard’s story than he’s willing to reveal… Saara may have bigger problems anyway. She’s still figuring out fingernails... No one warned her about toenails!
