Mani-Petty Nail Salon is a series of painted nails with 114 press-on nails. 54 nails are painted with intricate designs, while the other 60 nails are painted plainly. 9 of the 54 nails painted with designs have toxic quotes that were once said to elise. Each of those 9 nails with tiny toxic quotes has a correlating set of 5 nails that are designed with aspects that have to do with the toxicity of the quote said. Furthermore, each of those 9 nails has a corresponding nail polish bottle that lives on the shelves below the display. On the bottles, the labels contain the matching number, a witty title, and the unseen metaphorical dangers of if that design was done/if the quote was said to someone, the unseen dangers of it. 

For the plainly painted colors, there are 9 carefully chosen colors that also have correlating bottles on the shelves that reveal the actual physical unseen dangers that come along with nail teching. Ranging from asthma to reproductive issues to musculoskeletal diseases.
