All About Beauty : A Manicure, To Go

You have everything all planned for a perfect evening, but you are running out of time and, like always, you haven't painted your nails. Is there a way to do it in the cab, bus, or subway?

Sure, before you leave grab your nail polish and a tennis ball, yes ﾖ a tennis ball. Hold the ball in your hand and face your nails towards you. Start at the base of the nail and sweep the polish across the nails for a perfect polish regardless of how bumpy the ride.

Gripping a soft object like a tennis ball steadies the hand and prevents the moving and shaking that would usually occur. If you don't have a tennis ball handy, you can use any small round object of similar size.
