We have been able to get more photographs of people who wear nail polish and found out the different reasons why they wear it. We have also categorized at the different brands and polish names.
Our next step is to look at the history of nail art and explore the origins of why people began to adorn their nails. We also want to explore the chemical side of the polish; how it is made and what chemicals compose it. When it comes to cosmetics, there is very little government regulation so it would be interesting to look at what companies can get away with and how it affects our health.
Since our project is mostly about the images, we were thinking of making some of the photography large-scale (maybe compositing them or making digital collages) and having people walk around as if they are in a gallery. In the end, we would like the viewer to realize that nail adornment is not just about vanity, but it is a way that people can express their mood or individuality. Because of this, we can have people create their own color and color name and paint their nails for them.
