Minx Application

This is My first try at Minx application.  It is really a cool and somewhat easy process.  But Practice makes perfect, Right? 

I will be trying the Nail Rock brand soon!!!

Directions:

1.  Remove all nail polish and dehydrate nail
2.  Turn on your heat lamp/hair dryer and place your fingers and sheets under for 30 seconds. This will activate the adhesion
3.  Choose a minx size and place on nail bed, while still under heat lamp/hair dryer ( you can trim the edges for a perfect fit)
4.  Take a cuticle pusher/birchwood stick and rub entire minx, sealing the tipes and edges well.  Pull Minx end down
5.  Remove from the heat and allow to cool for one minute.
6.  Take your crystal file and in a straight downward motion file the minx at the tip until the end is removed.  If Minx is peelingat the tip slightly file the tips on the top downward.
7.  To fix any creases etc, returnt to heat source and fix by rubbing with cuticle pusher.

Minx should last about 2 weeks depending on wear.  Remove with heat source.

It sounds easy, but take practice and patience.

Nail Rock vs. Minx

Ladies, We all know that daily beauty maintenace can be a hassel at times, as well as expensive.  Basic Manicures and Pedicures cost $40 and-up.  (suggested done bi-weekly)

The most recent fad in nail care is Minx nails.  You see all the celebrities wearing it including Rihanna, Beyonce, Lagy Ga Ga and so on.  But it's a little pricey to get done on a regular basis.




Minx (www.minxnails.com/) a very popular nail application for both nails and toes.  For the fashionista on a budget one application can be a little pricey($150- and up) to do on a regular basis or at all. 



Nail Rock(www.nailrock.com) is offering a similiar if not exact product as minx for a great price with application instructions.  They can be found on http://www.asos.com/ and www.topshop.com/.(Coming Soon) 

One pack of nail rock appliques cost $10.95 plus shipping.  Sounds like a deal to me!

I have ordered three pair and excited to see the results!!  Stay tuned for results!
