We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 16, 2012.

This is IT!

Update #8 · Dec 17, 2012 · comment

I'm beyond excited to share that I finally bought a trailer! It's a 1968 Shasta Compact. It needs some work... new roof vent and exterior paint, reconfigured seating, and minor cosmetic fixes (to name a few). However, all-told it's in relatively decent shape given its age. Follow along: I'll be posting updates to the Nails facebook and twitter as they happen!

This wouldn't be possible without you--thank you again for your continuing support!

Happy Holidays, y'all!

XOXO
Breanne

PS: If you are in the NYC area, I'll be participating in She's Crafty at the New Museum, December 26-30. Stop by and say hello!

Thank you so much for believing in me, and my project! I truly appreciate it. This project would not be possible without your support.

Earlier today I received my six-month NY state nail specialty license and admittance slip to take the state written exam on Monday, July 23. Wish me luck! From there, I'll wait to receive an invite to take the state practical exam.

Nails Across America will launch Summer of '13 at Mixed Greens in NYC! I'll be taking the next couple of weeks to find a trailer, and hope to have it in place for the upcoming Wassaic Project festival, August 3-5. I'll be performing a limited edition of 10 manicures at the festival, based on a raffle ticket drawing.

Follow along on twitter or fb for Nails in the Key of Life progress, trailer updates, and watch the road trip route develop here.

Thank you again. I can't wait to meet you!

XOXO
Breanne

Dudes + Dudettes:

Nails in the Key of Life is over 100% funded! You're amazing--thank you so much for your continuing support. What an exciting and humbling experience. NAILS is the biggest project I've ever undertaken so it is the ultimate, most bestest feeling to know there are folks (friends, family, my peers, total strangers! you!) in the world who believe in it. THANK YOU!

XOXO
Breanne
