Can anyone out there advise me I have just been reading in the latest Scratch magazine about something called 'Minx', I don't know anything about this. Is it just another polish or is it a different system for enhancements. I just do natural manicures, anyone know of this product, thanks.

It's ok I have just found the relevant thread so I will keep watching.

Has anyone seen these in the uk?

The above link should help you Minx are a nail covering rather like a foil hths

i was wondering the same thing eactly.... think its a new nail coating

They look a bit faffy ... similar to foils to what I have seen.. but I could be wrong... but I have never got on with foils so perhaps a bit bias. There is lots of info on the other thread tho and advertising links for you to look at.

They are definitely NOT faffy Jen I promise - and they're not foils (like the traditional ones). Gigi Minxed my toe nails 3 weeks ago with the Mirrored Silver and they have lasted the whole time we were in the US with no problems.

It took her 10 minutes flat with nothing more than an Infra-Red Lamp which warms up the film. You size the Minx to the nail.. peel it off and stick directly on the nail (scrubfresh first), you simply stretch the Minx over the free edge and using the Minx Diamond File... file off the excess. As the Minx veneer cools down it shrink wraps itself to the nail. You can even use Scrubfresh over them and it doesn't effect them so perfect for working nail teks!

In the Californian sun my toes nails looked like mirrors and I had comments from everyone.... 'what polish is on your toes it's amazing' and of course, it's NOT a polish!

We have done a step-by-step which will be out shortly as we are doing a Mini Minx Catalogue to insert into the S2 one. We will include it in the next 3.0.0 S2 cat when we are ready.

A few other points; you need no solvents, top coats etc and after they are applied, your client can walk out the door. You can premium price them and the metallics will walk off the shelf. EVERYONE who saw my toes wanted them.

Before I hear Pictures please... the inside front cover of Aug Scratch shows the silver but it isn't a brilliant pic - the only one we had to work with.... more to come! I am having gold toes next!!

omg!!
these sound fab!!

i want to be minxed!

Have to say i am so excited about these...cant wait for The Event to see them...

To think i can wear these and not have to worry about Scrubfresh....brill.

this sounds fantastic... Can't wait to get minxed.

i love wearing polish and as a nail tech this will be a perfect way to keep the colour on.

even the name Minx is great, very catchy

Who do these belong to?

i did post this picture in the other thread but as interest seems to have picked up i thought i would post again.
xx

Arghhh that's the first time I have seen this. I am guilty - they are mine!! Thanks Babe

BTW How cool do those look! Kelly if you are around, you are Minxing me Gold this week! x

so basically we could use these like we do coloured gels...??? build the nail with clear/pink for strength and then finish with Minx instead of enamel/coloured gel......?

So let me get this straight.....is there an art to this or does it require alot of trickery....this sounds very intriguing....i wonder if there will be many colours available,or is it just a pure metallic look....I think i need to get back on the horse again...LOL

wow they are so shiny, proper Chrome trims
