A new book, Nailed: The History of Nail Culture and Dzine, is a 232-page exploration into the underground world of nail culture. It traces the growth of nail art around the world—from Ming dynasty China to ancient Egypt—and includes images of nails captured by commissioned photographers and Dzine, the contemporary artist who authored the book. It explores the nail-art movement and addresses body adornment in general—with luscious pictures of bejeweled nails, sculptural talons, and other pieces of wearable art that make typing on a keyboard or putting in your contact lenses look like a walk in the park.
