2002 Index of Articles

Find your favorite articles in a snap!

Compiled by Ilona French

You’re chatting with fellow nail techs about nail art, and you recall reading an article featuring butterfly nail art designs in one of Nailpro’s past issues, but you simply can’t remember which one. Don’t worry! You don’t have to scour through previous issues to find those winged designs. Instead, we’ve created a comprehensive index of articles in 2002, making the search for your favorites easy. Listings are separated by category and include title (in alphabetical order), author, issue and page number.

Back issues from this year are generally not available. You may request black & white reproductions of specific articles for a $5.00 service charge. Please call 800/442-5667 for information.
