Wouldn’t you rather just have a manicure?

Nails at Work will visit any home or office to buff and varnish nails. Having worked at Harrods (where her nail extensions were so popular she commanded a four-week waiting list), founder Teresa Smith understands the need for speed.

Book her for yourself and/or a team of colleagues for a fifteen-, twenty- or 30-minute manicure (from a neat £15). She’ll perform the treatment at her own portable table — complete with lamp, towels and heated hand pouch — anywhere from the boardroom to the canteen to the bathroom.

Afterwards, you can get back to your desk and tap-tap away at the keyboard.

And the only thing with a chip will be that egotistical, self-inflated boss across the room.
