Hi girlies,
(THIS IS QUITE A LONG MESSAGE FOR MINX EXPERTS, SO YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE A CUP OF TEA FIRST. :lol:
I have decided that i want to do minx nails as im currently a makeup artist and lash tech, so wanted to add another service to my company. Thankfully i have a private teacher who will train me who is highly qualified in minx since it came to the UK (She was trained in America) and has her own salon locally to me. So,.... I needed to buy some products. This is what I have purchased so far..
new pack 20 sheet each being...
1x sheet of Gold lightning
1x sheet of Gold studs
1x sheet of the new Burgandy
1x sheet of silver lightning
1x sheet of Naja (looks quite bridal, white and gold swirls)
1x sheet of cheetah (black and gold version)
1x pale pink paisley.
1X hoof stick and crystal nail file)
I x infra red lamp
IS THE ABOVE SELECTION an ok choice to START with? Also is it worth getting the New Minx Twizzers ( WHICH ARE £25.00 ON EBAY) or will any very good nail sissors do the job well enough? also when i get MY toes minx'd the lady adds a touch of glue to the tip of the nail. What glue do i need please.
I have purcahsed all my minx foils on ebay from a highly reccm seller, where they are all authentic minx sheets not copies or cheaper brand products. They cost me on average £11.00 per sheet of 20 of the new style packs one size. If i was to eventually charge £20.00 for minx toes how much is the profit im making roughly does anyone know. Big hugs to anyone who can work that out as i dont have a clue at the moment how many nails i will be able to do with one full sheet. is it just the obvious being 2 sets of clients toes or one clients fingers and toes per sheet? Sorry to sound dim. lol
Also, I know my minx lady applies the minx sideways left to right, but do most people apply it this way or apply cuticle first and stretch up to the free edge? what is the easiest application in your expert opinion? Also the wattage on my infra red lamp is 150 watts is that oK? Last question.. sorry :lol: but how many times did it take you to do a perfect full set of minx toes. Do you think 10 guinea pigs on friends and family should be ok? I know everyone is individual but wanted a rough average estimate on your experiences.
Would love everyones advice on my thread. Big hugs to you all.xxx
