I always find that as long as you heat the Minx and apply over nail(even if it is tiny) they will still last as long as the others, I find using glue does not help in the long run as it will come unstuck with water. If u find it hard handling the Minx as its so small, try using a pair of perry tweezers to hold, cut and place on nail, then push down with your cutile stick to nail, this has always helped me, hope it helps you too!
