HOT ITEM: MINX NAILS
Thursday, October 23, 2008

Celebs have been getting minx’d lately -Minx nails that is. A new alternative to nail polish, Minx Nail is made of flexible film strips that are applied with heat and pressure. Unlike polish, Minx doesn’t chip, smudge or require drying time, and comes can be custom made to your liking.
I did a feature on Beyonce wearing Minx last year and it seems as if she loves their Golden Lightning nail - she wore it again with the cyborg arm in her “Single Ladies” video. Solange Knowles also got Minx’d Obama style, with her nails even featuring a photo of the presidential candidate. Beyonce had the Obama nails at one point, as well as Eve who showed hers off earlier this week.
Other ladies that have been seen rocking Minx’d nails include Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and Angela & Vanessa Simmons. Find out what salons in your area carries Minx over at minxnails.com.

Cute and very neat looking. I’m feeling it. But of course there are no salons in my area that carry the product. Will have to go home to get it done……..

I’m going to be the odd ball here and say I think Obama on nails is a little beyond forced. It was cute having him and T-Shirts and all..but..It is just becoming over-done IMO. I wouldn’t be surprised if they created a new Airline named Obama.

I wonder about the price on those things. It better be $25!
I’d be damned having to pay $500 for Obama to me on my nails.

Is it just me or is this a more expensive version of the press-on nails? This is just press on film. Same idea, different price I’m sure.

No, it doesn’t mess up your real nails…
Minx is made of a film and when you want to take it off you don’t use nail polish remover. It’s a green product and does not require chemicals to apply or to remove. But rather, you place your nails under a heat source (a hair dryer will do) and work loose an edge of Minx near a lateral nail fold. Slowly peel Minx off the nail plate going from side to side (not top to bottom). Me personally, I like this benefit the most, because I HATE the smell of the chemicals in the salon - and especially the fact that THEY have to wear masks…I once told the lady that I wanted one too! I don’t want to inhale whatever you don’t want to inhale lol
But yeah, definitely worth the benefits and costs - starting at $40 isn’t bad…and soon, the company will begin allowing you to order your own custom designs - i.e. matching your shoes, outfit, etc. So, yeah…enjoy fellow divas/fashionistas!
