In a foreign land where nail polish acts as a magical conduit, Saara aspires to create pretty and powerful decorated nail art! Unfortunately for Saara, she lacks both the magical ability ad the know-how to paint anything other than useless party tricks. Even her best customer, Rocco — a beautiful wizard with a mean streak (and an even meaner apprentice) — can barely summon a spark from the cutesy nails Saara creates for him! Rather than be discouraged, Saara determines to improve her abilities and surpass even her benefactor, the grouchy goblin Master Reed! But as a woefully average, utterly unexceptional protagonist, Saara has a long way to go —and a lot of nails to paint — before she'll ever stand a chance at greatness.
