“I like to create a retro look full of bold colors and prints that still incorporates current trends to amp up classic styles,” she told Style Caster. “Of course, since nails are my fave accessory, to match all that shimmer, I’ve been bejeweling my toes too with metallic gold and silver polish. Plus, I line my bottom lash with silver so my eyes have extra twinkle too. I’m not exactly an au natural kind of girl, so especially in the summer when my usual makeup just melts right off, a little sweat-proof glam beauty makes me feel done up.”

“I think summer is all about doing what is comfortable,” stressed Whitehill. “So, if wearing pumps on the beach makes you feel good, well, then go for it.” But with summer now officially over, we can now turn up the volume when it comes to fashion. Especially when it comes to our nails.

Founded by independent curator, Rita de Alencar Pinto in 2008, Vanity Projects first began as a pop-up, organizing itself in the homes and studios of visual artists, friends, and art aficionados. Now, based in two primary locations – the first in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and the second in Miami, Florida – the original concept has drawn nail artists from around the world.

With an artist-in-residence program, it also offers top international nail artists the chance to engage and experience the exchange of technique and ideas. With a host of video artists as well, the result is an explosion of creativity and color. At least judging by their Instagram page.

But why the name Vanity Projects? “The choices when it comes to naming something in the art world is always either your name or something with ‘project’ and I didn’t want it to be my name,” said Pinto in an interview with Paper Magazine. “That’s not my focus. ‘Vanity Project’ is a twist on the pun, and then also it being a nail salon. I wanted to have fun with it as well as being rooted in an art world tradition.”

With invitations to participate in pop-ups at the Pulizer Foundation in St. Louis, The Brooklyn Museum, The Aldrich Museum, and the Aspen Museum of Art, it’s clear Pinto is having fun.
