yes, they certainly seem very enthusiastic about their product...but they are going to be arnt they. I have to say though i would have to see them in the flesh before paying out for them...or even hear from someone who has used them.....but it doesnt look like there are any fellow geeks who have unfortunatly.

here is some feedback from a nail tech that uses this product in the US....she is a fully qualified nail tech like the majority of those on here and offers this a a service in here salon. Very interesting.......

Dear Sian

Its a pleasure for me to be able to respond to you in reference to Minx nails.

I have been offering Minx to my clients for the past 7 months and the response has been overwhelming.

In your comment I read that many are not conviced with the quality of Minx.
Let me be the first to say that the proof is in the final result. When applied properly Minx can provide wonderful benefits to your clients.
My clients in Washington, DC are loving the fact that even with
natural nails you can still maintain your color without the use of artificial usage.
Minx has brought a greatness to my business in regards to the colors, designs, and the boldness it brings with each unique coverlet.
As one tech to another I feel you owe it to yourself to give it a chance and see what rewards will prosper from your experience with Minx.

Minx is a Exculsive technique that has hit a industry that hasn't seen anything as bold and classy since nail polish itself...
Please feel free to communicate with me any questions that I may answer in reference to Minx and my experinces with it.

Best regards,
Natasha Ray (Master Minx manicurist)

Now I haven't seen this product and know nothing about it, but I do know my business and I do not like over use of rhetoric (commonly known as BS)!

What do they mean they do not use chemicals?? We ALL know that everything in this world is made up of chemicals apart from light and electricity so that is BS.

As for the post above, it sounds pretty but does not tell me anything at all that is useful information. Of course these coverings are artificial ... what do they mean no artificial usage?? It is an artificial 'coverlet' ... cute new word but so is a false stick on nail an artificial coverlet.

The technician talks about all the wonderful benefits to her clients and then only tells us that their polish lasts longer? Longer than what?

How about a bit more info for the professionals on this site,who know their business,as to exactly what they are, how long they last, how strong they are, how long they take to apply and how to use them. '

Knowing what i know about you and you knowing your business i would always take what you say over someone / thing i have never heard of...or anyone else has heard of for that matter......i just saw the pic on the front cover of a magazine and liked the look....so looked into it further.
Especially as i have not been in the business for that long......
Hopefully they will see the post and answer the q's.

I haven't said anything about the product ... I'd love to know more about it ... not be spun a load of Bull dung that's all. I figure if that is the official company policy (which I do not know that it is) then it turns me as a professional right off.

if you look at the clip beyonce and shakira (beautifull liar) together you will see beyonce's silver metalic nail, its soooo nice

Im waiting for a response.
Last week, I was told they could provide training with at least 3 manicurist in my salon.
They were possibly going to be in Long Beach at ISSE this past weekend?
(Minx last for weeks.) apparently only trained professionals will be able to use/purchase their product.

hi all,
i just had an email from the lady in charge of pr of minx....i have inserted it below.... will be interesting to see next months scratch then eh?

just thought i would update you all
xx

Dear Sian,

Hello! I hope this note finds you well! I just wanted to let you know that Minx will be featured on the cover of Scratch magazine's April issue, and if you visit the MinxNails.com web site, you can now purchase a training kit which includes an online training video.

Very best regards,

Janice Miller

They are indeed in scratch this month.So anyone tried them yet.

Apparently Beyonce has lol

Quite a good feature I thought.
I was in a rush reading it though....and I don't recall seeing anything about how Minx are removed from the nail, would you really just peel it off?

I dont think you can get them here as yet.....they are planning a launch from what i have been told....there are going to be some demos at olympia so will be interesting to see. I think they say that they need to be professionally removed....but i dont know how or with what. Hopefully there will be some freebie samples at the show...LOL!!!

Right having read all the replies I have questions lol
What exactly in our terms are they ?
How are they applied?
Is it just foil but in the shape of a nail?

Can I see a close up picture of one

Product Categories - Minx

here you are lell.....some better pics are on here!

Ok so its a shaped film that is applied like foil quick and easy but not sure they would last long. Thank Sian xx

well im not convinced either , would have to see them close up and try them to see how they really lasted,

cant see how theyd be easy to apply without bumps etc and dont understand how they fit your clients nails, you must need to trim them or something to fit each nail? but then what about those weird ones with the pics on (sorry but that scratch article with the babies faces on each nail made me laugh) how could you apply these without losing some of the photo, if you had to cut them to size? im confused

xx
