Aside from wearing fruit as a hat, the only thing that really sets humans apart from other mammals is the ability to paint our opposable thumbs. Revel in lacquer with today's Groupon: for $14, you get an essential manicure at Spa BenMarNico's (a $29 value), located inside the Copper Leaf Hotel.

Set inside an inviting upscale atmosphere, Spa BenMarNico's expert hand curators pamper and shape up weary paws during the half-hour essential manicure. After a skilled aesthetician shapes nails and cuticles, hands and arms are blissfully massaged, slathered with a green-tea moisturizer, and treated to a reel of gymnastics bloopers. Soon after, a technician will prime nail canvases with a base coat, lavish the surface with a colorful lacquer, and dress up the tips with topcoats shinier than laminated wedding rings.
