Post-Mani Moves:

Coat Claw: Curl hand. Extend arm through sleeve, keeping fingers tucked.

Arm-y of One: Tuck elbow beneath door handle. Attempt exit without falling on ass.

AC Does It: Steer with palms, waving alternate hands by AC vents.

It’s tough to avoid the dreaded smudge. Unless you get ’cured with a quick-dry, no-chip manicure at CiCi Nails.

Sit pretty while specialists buff, file, and trim. Then choose from more than 40 colors of organic gel. A lightning-fast UVA dryer freezes the gel in place for up to three weeks (really).

Those with color ADD can apply another polish over the no-chip. When you remove it, the no-chip won’t have budged.

Cuti-killer.
