Total Recall (1990) nail color change effect

In the first Total Recall, there's an unimportant shot where the receptioninst at Recall is changing the color of her nails. She taps one with a stylus, and it "wipes" to a different color. (I can't remember if all of them changed, or just the ones she tapped.) The effect was flawless, and this was in 1990 - way before CGI was being used! Anyone know how they did that effect?
