The Fakeout: Flawless Manicure

"Stick-on polish means no drying," says Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Spa in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Get the look: Prep nail beds with an acetone-free polish remover. Find the precut enamel strip that best fits each nail, then peel away the adhesive and place the base directly above your cuticle (with the sticky side against your nail). Smooth down the surface with your finger until it wraps over your nail's edge, then tear away excess. Apply a clear top coat every few days for extra shine.
