Nail Perfection
Well-Known Member
I did silver minx toes for a regular client. She was thrilled with them. She had them done 2 days before her holiday to tenerife. They were still perfect on the day she travelled but a couple of days in the problems started.
She noticed that the clear coating had come away from the silver design. This left just the silver which then came off also. This seemed to be the main problem, i.e. the clear coating coming off.
I wondered if the heat from the sun had this effect. Or she also said she sprayed sun tan lotion on her whole foot, inc toes. (she burns easily and will use a lot of sun cream). Maybe the chemicals in the sun cream had an effect?
She was keen to have them done again for her next holiday abroad but we are both unsure if the same will happen. I have said I want to do her another set, free of charge. I will do this soon so we know if it is just her nails or the heat etc from abroad that is causing the problems.
I can have minx on my toes for weeks on end but then again I have not tested them in the heat.
Anyone else worn them abroad and also used lots of sun cream?
