I too took about an hour to Minx to start with. May I ask you a few questions?
* Are you using one of the lamps S2 sell? I started out Minxing with a Medisana lamp and got SO much faster when I got the black Minx lamp.
* Are you leaving the Minx under the lamp to warm up while you do your PEP? By the time you come to apply it you'll find it's much easier to work with.
* Are you using Minx Twizzers? I love these! So snippy, and really speed things up!
* I also love the Minx Clippers, with their clip-on magnifier. Leaving the toenails long, doing your PEP, applying your Minx, THEN cutting the toenails with the clippers obliterated most (if not all) of that time-consuming filing to remove the excess Minx, as it's come off with the nail clippings!
Final point really is that, as with anything, it takes practice. Once you are really confident and methodical with your application process, THEN is the time to put pressure on to speed up. xx
