Maybe you should phone them and say so - hopefully they can broadcast an apology tomorrow if so. That is a bit stupid though - having someone use incorrect techniques on the telly!

I have emailed them as I was disgusted, showing that vt of applying them with a hairdryer is like telling joe public to go out and do their own nails with minx using a hairdryer.
I am sooooooooooo angry.
I have also just rung in she said that she will pass on my comments to the editor, I said that they were giving out misguided info to the general public. She said that they cant stop the show but should mention it tomorrow.

Aye, I bet S2 won't be best pleased either! At least they are fussy about only selling Minx to qualified professionals!

Definitely! She should have used the proper lamp - and the correct filing technique!

Not on the website yet hun but it may not be because of my complaint. But they do have this on the website if you click on the picture of beyonce.

I think they are doing the professional nail industry real harm.
I have just checked Ebay before writing my reply, I only looked into one seller I will check for more in a minute........I thought Ebay had stopped selling Minx.
User name xxxxxx
Item number xxxxxx
Looked on other items for sale, they have 17 different designs on sale, multiple amounts of each design, also the Minx Crystal files.
Oh and Minx badges !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will this stop??????????????

This is what happens when people go there own way without working together with their distributor. Very naughty ... I'm sure S2 would have provided zoe with everything she needed if she had asked.

Will everyone PLEASE calm down and look at this in the way that will do you good!

I didn't know Zoe was going to be on This Morning BUT - am I pi88ed ofF she used a hair dryer or didn't file correctly (I am not sure what you guys saw)... No - I am not naffed off at all and here is why!!

She has just done Minx, the industry and YOU guys a good turn. She has just bought Minx to the attention of millions of viewers and told them that MINX is out there. These people may have loved it that much that they just might decide to google Minx and find YOU if they can't afford the Daniel Galvin Salon in London.

The general public DO NOT see what you professionals see - they simply don't. There was a time when I was EXACTLY like you guys... in an up roar - sending emails, calling people... and for what? They will do NOTHING and I mean NOTHING about your calls Jen... they see it as 'if you're lucky enough to be on This Morning shut up and suck it up and enjoy your 2 minutes of fame'...

This could get and bring people to your door. Stop worrying about filing techniques and make sure yours are always right.

Zoe if you are reading... thank you for getting it out there from all of us. Also as an aside... when doing things like GMTV / This Morning etc... they give you no time, no room and they never say the right things... but it's ALL GOOD PR for us and and the industry even if it's not a perfect professional job.

Turn it around, be positive because when S2 start getting calls of 'where can I get my nails Minxed' you can be sure we will be sending them to YOU GUYS!!
