Before the invention of nail polish, the only way a nail technician could color fingertips was to repeatedly blast them with a miniature paintball gun. Achieve a less painful patch of color with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a mani-pedi package from Jennifer Barger at Bloomingnails Hair and Nail Salon in Old Hickory (a $65 total value). The mani-pedi package includes:

• A manicure (a $20 value)
• A spa pedicure (a $45 value)

Groupon customers also receive half off their next appointment with Jennifer.

Bloomingnails Hair and Nail Salon's Jennifer Barger transforms hands and feet into immaculate canvases of art with polishes from OPI and CND. The mani-pedi, which lasts for up to 90 minutes, begins with the digit doyenne massaging the hands and trimming the cuticles before buffing and filing finger armor to a gumball-esque sheen and blanketing it in a splash of color. Jennifer then descends floorward, trimming and buffing toe talons into topiary art before exfoliating the hind paws with a foot scrub or mask. After a calf and tootsie massage, legs are ensconced in a heated towel for an embrace that's warmer than a bear hug from Grandma, and a brush of color tops the toes’ surfaces for an eye-popping finish. For an additional fee ($30), Groupon holders can upgrade to long-lasting CND Shellac gel polish, which adorns finger helmets for up to 14 days without chipping. At a second appointment, clients can touch up fingers and toes for 50% off, readying digits to strut stylishly down white tablecloths at fancy dinners and computer-keyboard catwalks at work.
