If left untended, hands have been known to flee arms and take up residence with Addams families. Keep hands from autonomy with today's Groupon: for $17, you get a Minx fingernails application at Minx Nails New Orleans in Metairie (a $35 value). Boldly adorning the digits of today's top celebrities, Minx nails are bringing sassy phalanges to the masses through officially licensed vendor Minx Nails New Orleans. Through heat activation, the polymer adhesive forms directly to nails, creating a mess-free manicure or emergency lacquer for a cracked space shuttle. More than 100 designs, patterns, and colors transform nails into miniature canvases that showcase fingers for one to two weeks at a time. The 45-minute process includes a moisturizing hand rub, cleaning, nail trimming, and design application. With no dry time, these nails, once applied, are immediately ready to tickle the ivories, group text acquaintances, or point out the murderer in an entire drawing room full of butlers.

Owner Christina Ballstaedt offers laid-back service from her home residence in Metairie. With Paul Mitchell credentials under her beauty belt, Ballstaedt offers fashionistas the chance to flaunt their phalanges and an excuse to not open any soda cans.
