Just thought I would share my discovery. I find that using a craft knife rather than scissors gives a much better taylored fit to the nail when having to size Minx.
Ie, I apply Minx, all over the nail as instructed, however, sometimes clients nail shape at the cuticle is slanted or rounded and not a dead fit for Minx. So I let it go over the skin and press down onto the nail and side walls, so you can see the outline.
Then very, very gently with a craft knife, I score the minx around the nail. This then allows you peel the minx back from the skin leaving a perfect fit.
I finish with the crystal file at the free edge tho.
It is brilliant if you have to use a larger minx because the size is in between. Or if you have to turn the Minx horizontally to get the best fit, as I found scissors so fiddly.
Hope this is explained ok, not very good at putting into words. Kate x
