If you go on to the minx website, they have lots of differnet colours and designs that you can view on there. The metallic ones are just more eyecatching IMO.

So does the skin around the nail get hot, hot enough for clients to complain

Sam I want your feet!!!! Mine are knarled and wonky!!!!

I had mine done and the tech used a regular hair dryer as she'd forgotten her lamp. Very quick and easy and they last for weeks with no chipping.

The girls on the brow bars that I train where them on their toes and I can't tell you how many passers by stop and ask about them. They look brilliant and they are fantastic for natural nails.

I got fed up after a few weeks so I did what she told me and just held the hair dryer over them and peeled them off. Strange, as they don't come off in the bath etc. xxx

no not at all - you heat the film with the Minx veneers - keep that on your table and under the lamp (it does help if your clients hands are warm) and just pop on the ones you have sized.

As to Kim's point:
I have wondered that 1000 times but hot baths and weather doesn't effect them. I peeled mine off yesterday without the help of any heat or a lamp and no problems but I am not sure if that is allowed. They didn't hurt my toe nails at all!! Check the Sweet Squared home site and see the comments.

Tonilee thank you - I used to pick my toe nails as a teenager and stopped when I fell in love with shoes!!

Question time

Does it last longer than pro applied enamel ?

Compared to trade price enamel whats the difference in price ? (maybe in percentage to avoid posting prices)

Would you charge a premium for this service ?

Is it as faster or faster to apply than enamel ?

Will samples be available ?

And finally will you (S2) be selling the infa red lamps ?

Thank you

You are welcome!!

Fabulous Sam,thankyou for taking the time to answer i'll check back for further info xxxx

Well they certainly look gorgeous on your feet Sam...

I did the images for a step by step when last at Sweet Squared. So hopefully, Samuel will let me post a step by step here on the site with the images.

Minx is EASY to do and not at all faffy . Once you are set up at your desk and ready to go (setting up means choosing your Minx design and turning on your Infra Red lamp ) it takes about 8-10 minutes.

Minx are not delicate like foils. They are very user friendly and easy to handle. I did Mrs Geeks toes in her kitchen at midnight in (not the most ideal of situations with she sitting on the counter top and I on a chair) in about 10 minutes.

Can you see the possibilities??? Perfect nail art (we are not all artists) applied to every nail in Minutes at a cost that is finally acceptable and affordable to your clients??
Why do we think most clients have only ONE or TWO nails decorated?? BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THEM ALL DONE .. NEITHER THE MONEY NOR THE TIME. Now they can.

Minx are already DRY ... No waiting NO smudging. No top coat to seal the design either.

And finally ........... They are FUN. We all need a little fun at the nail desk.

Can I just add that I have a split that goes down the centre of my thumb nail and it still splits with polish. However, with MINX, it didn't show through and didn't split. xxx

I have posted this pic on behalf of helen griffiths...she is a fellow geek and ordered minx after seeing the other thread...this was he first attempt at them and i think they look pretty impressive if you ask me.
I would have posted earlier but wanted to get her permission to post...which i have
Helen is doing some chrome and black zebra stripes for some one next week i think which sound fab ....cant wait to see them!!

Speaking as a working nail technician I will report that I did demos for 3 days using ScrubFresh and enamel remover etc and my Minxed nails stayed looking perfect -- solvents didn't touch them.

How great is that?? Nail techs can never keep polish on when working and now you can and advertise what you are doing at the same time!!

PERFECT!

Do you need additional training to do Minx? Where would you get the infa-red lamp etc? Is there a starter kit?

Thanx

This morn i changed my Facebook status to 'sick of having chipped nail polish'

I need to be minxed...
