Cutting-edge nail art

Connoisseurs of van mural art and designs shaved into hair, there’s a new sheriff in town and it’s called “nail art.” A national touring exhibition at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (July 28-30) features Fresh Style at Your Fingertips, what promoters are billing as “an amazing collection of cutting-edge nail art.” The exhibition of nail designs is sponsored by Frutézia Blends, a grown-up version of the wine coolers that got you soused in high school. So if you didn’t think it was art going in, after a couple of fruity cocktails you will be singing a different tune.
