Minx Nail Update

I was super excited to get my Minx Nails done as I am sure you all read. But after 4 days I must say the thrill has dissipated. Sorry to inform you ladies Minx will not cure you from chipped nails! As Minx can chip as well. Day 3 they started coming up. Now the tips of my nails are clear white and I have a chip on one. I must say I did think they would last longer than polish and solve all our Chipping woes ladies but alas...they won't.

I must be honest and say I did put them through the ringer. Day 2 I washed and roller set my hair, Day 3 and 4 I cooked for a party, washed countless dishes even SHUCKED CORN!!! I know on an average weekend I probably wouldn't do all that but it was a good test of durability!

Will I get Minx again, YES!!! They are HOT! And the colors are unlike ANY nail-polish I have ever seen! To me they are for show they are flashy and stylish and for a big event party, dinner party, fashion show whatever I will rock them! I think of them as an impressive piece of jewelry used to enhance Your outfit! NEXT I will try them on the toes. 


I still LOVES IT!

Get Minx-ed!! Minx Nails that is

Minx Nails



I have been dying to try Minx Nails for a while now, and hearing it discussed on The Real Housewives of Atlanta made me quickly jump to find the closest salon (only two in North Carolina-Morning Star Salon is the one I chose) and made my appointment. 









Minx Nails are the new hot thing to get. Everyone in Hollywood are getting Minx and have been getting them for about a year now. The great thing about this product is that its not nail polish so it won’t chip or peel off. It actually comes in foil (which is what gives them their eye popping look) and is made of film, which the stylist carefully heats and methodically applies and conforms to fit over your nails. It's a pretty precise science which takes about an hour to an hour and a half to complete. My stylist first gave me a manicure before applying Minx Nails too. 
You can also have anything customized on your nails, a photo of your partner or a your favorite logo whatever your heart desires. Eve and Solange were spotted out with President Obama’s face on their nails. Angela Simmons had her nails minx for her 21st birthday and Beyonce wore the minx golden lightning for her video “Single Ladies”.

No ned to customize for your first try though as they come in an array of colors and styles, Silver, Silver with black circles,Red, Electric Blue, Black, Cheetah,Plaid, Polka dots,Florals, Gold, I can go on and on. 

I didn't customize mines but did decide to go with a color so not me RED!!! And I LOVE them!!!







To take them off simply apply heat from a blow dryer or lamp and peel off!!! I'll let you guys know how long they lasted!!!
