Nails Across America

Crazy swimming pools, a traveling nail salon, aerial nudes and more in our weekly look at the web

Brooklyn-based artist Breanne Trammell is transforming a canned ham trailer into a mobile nail salon to create “a unique environment for exchanging ideas, connection, and conversation.” Dubbed “Nails Across America”, the two-year project creatively explores the intimate but often silent interaction between a nail technician and client. Help fund her endeavor by supporting “Nails Across America” on Kickstarter.
