Nimble Arm Placement

A Nimble manicure takes 55 - 60 minutes to paint all ten fingers. Each set of four fingers takes ~20 minutes and each thumb takes ~9 minutes.

While your Nimble paints, we want to make sure your arms and hands are comfortable, as you'll need to sit as still as possible for the duration of each paint to result in the best manicure quality.

First, place your Nimble on a table where you'll have plenty of space in front of your Nimble to rest your arm. It's sometimes helpful to angle your Nimble so that it's diagonally facing you on the table.  For example, if you were painting your right hand, you'd want to place the Nimble to your left, and angle your body towards the Nimble.  This allows your right arm to rest naturally on the table.

Second, get comfortable and spend some time playing around with your arm positioning. 

Feel free to use the customizable Nimble armrest, which is magnetically held together and can be used as one piece or two separate pieces. You can move your Nimble around and play with the positioning of the customizable Nimble armrest from your wrist all the way to your elbow. You'll find some examples of positioning below. Feel free to try each position until you find one that's most comfortable for you.
