Are they Minx?

The Daily Mail has apparently reported that they were hand painted by Sophy Robson's Nail Porn team. They look like nail wraps to me but just wondered if anyone could clarify, before I start plastering them over Facebook as Minx. :)
 
I actually thought they looked like wraps too
 
I have to say im very impressed by all the teams nails theyre all rather funky.
 
S2 have shared becky's nails on Facebook as Minx so guess I've got my answer. Get sharing ladies!!

OPI have also shared the pic
 
Aparently Sophy Robson claimed they were handpainted by her team! But I knew straight away that they were Minx. In fact, my other half said she was wearing Minx before I even noticed!
 
Funnily enough I commented on the Minx FB page as there was a number of us asking the same question. This morning Minx have removed the photo & comments.
 
@Sophynails (twitter) this morning has tweeted
"I didn't wanna speak on this but it has to be said.... NO ONE on my team has been using nail wraps it has al be returned to them UNUSED"
"Just cause your Hu$tle is dead don't try and jump on mine...."


So according to her they are handpainted.....:eek:
 
On this link you can find a real close up of them 3rd picture down, you can really see the metallic in the red that to me looks EXACTLY like the minx union Jack I have here with me.

Perhaps none of Sophies team are using nail wraps, in which case someone else is obviously doing athletes nails too as in this picture slide show one of the pictures shows an athlete wearing Nail Rock gold union Jack (photo 8) .... unless she hand painted that too!? :rolleyes:

CND/Sweet Squared are in the Sailing village doing the nails there so many athletes certainly are wearing CND Shellac and Minx, whilst none of the S2 girls did Rebecca Adlingtons nails, Im pretty convinced they are Minx all the same.
 
I'm sorry but they look like Nail wraps.(minx) I'm not on twitter but if I was I would be tweeting Rebecca Adlington to find out a definitive answer! Lol

I saw this on twitter too, they look like minx but why would she lie? Damn talented hand painter then!! xx
 
Sophie hasn't actually claimed that she is responsible for Rebecca Adlington's Nails has she? I know the papers have said they were done by her "nail porn" team but that could be just them putting two and two together and getting five....

She certainly did claim they were hand painted on twitter:

"Sophy Robson ‏@sophynails
RT @britbeautyblog: That looked like a Minx design on Becky Adlington's nails...<< nah babes they're all hand painted
"

she has claimed Becky's nails as hers - Sophy has retweeted her reply to the question on 29.7.12

"@britbeautyblog: That looked like a Minx design on Becky Adlington's nails...<< nah babes they're all hand painted"

bloody liar. They are SO nailwraps! Sam Sweet's tweeted picture of Becky's nail CLEARLY shows the nails have consistent union jacks, there's NO nail tech on this planet who can handpaint like that.

she's gonna end up with an eggy face me thinks....:mad:

P.S. (directed at Sophy Robson...)
Love and Respect to you! **blows raspberry**
 
Do you think Rebecca realises how much interest there is in her nails?

"Yeah yeah Becky well done on the medal and that, but what is on your NAILS??"

The questions we all want asked by the BBC.....
 
They look an awful lot like Minx to me! But fair enough if they are hand painted!
What i'm wondering is though.....if they were hand painted - surely they would of done the centre of the cross/flag in the centre of the nail?!?!
