DAMN, YOUR NAILS LOOK GOOD!

Currently considering going to this….

vicemag:

Fingernails are hard, horn-like dead skin cells protruding from the squishy softness of your digits. It’s weird that people paint and decorate them. Does that mean we should we airbrush and bedazzle corpses too? No, but that could be next and if so, Molly Surno would probably do an art show about that too.

She’s spent the past three years photographing Brooklyn nail salons, cataloging ladies and their various adornments. And she, along with seven other artists, will be showcasing their various works (centered around the idea of adornment and decoration) in an art show entitled “Nefer/Nfr” opening tonight at Capricious Space in Brooklyn. If you’re lucky enough to live anywhere close to Brooklyn then you should go! Luiza Sa of CSS will be djing and Abby Walton will be doing free nail art at the opening.

We asked Molly a bunch of questions about what it was like hanging out in nail salons all day. We also asked if she’s afraid she has cancer now because of it. …She thinks she’s okay.
