Thanx
There is an optimum method of applying Minx that works the easiest ... I'm sure we will be glad to demo it anytime and there are also advanced ways to use them ... but you know what?? You guys are so talented, I bet you end up teaching us what you can do with them that even Minx hasn't figured out yet.

Already Kelly (who works in customer care) has cut the minx out and applied the design just to the tips of her nails. They look gorgeous. You can also layer them for different effects. But my guess is that (like using PopIts) the simpler you keep it the more money you will make from it. Start getting too fancy dancy and you will loose the advantage of quick timing.

Y'know me hun, I couldn't agree more,
But when it's fun, easy, good looking, long lasting and at the top of the trend right now... EVEN BLOOMIN BETTER !!!!!
If it's good enough for beyonce...it's good enough for me !! lol..

These sound really interesting, I can't wait to see them...(I promise not to get as excited as I did before the popit launch lol)

I can't remember where I seen them but I did see a lot of the designs a long time ago..and I just know it will be a good selling point for the teenagers, for full coverage, and girls of my age for the tips !
And I can see it being VERY popular for toes....
(based on my area of course)

Why 18 peices though...when people have 10 fingers ? I HATE oddness lol....
(which is unusual...as I myself am rather odd lol)

I think that the 18 pieces will be a size range that will accommodate either fingers or toes xxx

That's it, Hope, and some of the large ones can also be split into two to accommodate sizes we use the most. You will get 2 sets out of each pack of 18. Depending what you do with them you may get much more.

I 'minxed' my toes last night! First couple were a bit fiddly...just settling into choosing the right size and fitting it well, but it soon falls into place and becomes easy! I think my feet are a bit odd though as my toenails aren't really that symmetrical! But they look fab from above!

I went for hot pink with silver hearts shot through....and I'm minxing my fingernails 'silver lightening' tonight for the yacht club summer ball tomorrow night....see if I can attract some nice new clientele!

When are they hitting Aussie's way down here!!!! wow they look great...

I Too dream about nails.... it drives me nuts.....

I have a red ray lamp from my grandfathers back injury... I just need to get my hands on some to have a try....

If you get bubbles or creases in them ( just assuming that you can).. are you able to take them off and start again as long as they are still warm?.....
Also there was a special file mentioned... can i use one of my CND files for the job?.

It's a bit like wall paper .. if you get a bubble or a kink you just peel it back and re-lay it down ... very very easy.

They sound completely lush!!!!! So do you have the proper lamp? If not, what did you use to heat them up? Did you get your Minx from S2 or direct from Minx?

Sorry for the bombard of questions, but I need to know!!!!

I got them from S2. Their mini catalogue isn't quite ready yet I don;t beleive but they suggested I had a look on the Minx Nails website and chose my designs and then they gave me a price for them, and i ordered.

I haven't done my fingernails yet....I had a full client book yesterday and was sailing yesterday evening, so I just knew I'd wreck them. By the time I got in I was too knackered! So I'm minxing my fingernails today! I don't have the proper lamp - yet. I used hubby's heat gun! lol! As I say it was a trial although I'm very pleased so far, and will definitely get the lamp if I get bookings now, which I'm pretty confident of tbh. Everyone I've told/shown so far, loves them!

Wow, thanks! As I'm mobile I could use a clients hairdryer to trial it as a service before investing in the lamp.......

Hmmm, loads to think about. Can you post a pic of your minxed fingers?
