Tiffany the Receptionist, Total Recall (1990): In our increasingly accelerated world, wouldn’t it be incredibly fun - and time-saving - to simply change our nail colours in seconds with a simple device? The sci-fi flick starring Arnie Schwarzeneggar explores life on Mars, and alongside its exploration of the dystopian future, memory vs. reality, and three-breasted mutants, it depicts a technologically advanced civilisation. So advanced, that there is a scene with Tiffany (Alexia Robinson), a stylish receptionist who is seen casually changing and admiring her nail colour using a simple pen device, with a colour palette not too dissimilar from the familiar acrylic wheels at our local salons. Her nails transition from aquamarine to red with a tap and an electronic beep, which is frankly what futuristic dreams are made of. Who knows what will be possible by 2084?
