Little Minx

Minx nails are known nation wide for being the go to nail brand for nail wraps. Minx creators Dawn Lynch-Goodwin and Janice Jordan have traveled the globe extending fashion to your fingertips and have done the nails of A list celebrities such as Rihanna, Katy Perry and Beyonce along with collaborating with high profile designers such as Alexander McQueen and Thierry Mugler. Their nail work has even been on the covers of Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. Very impressive. Minx have created many collections of nail wraps each with a separate theme or trend each as stunning as the last. My favourite collections are the spring and summer 2013 collection which is filled with pastels, brights and even a 2 metallic tones an the Boutique collection which is filled with Baroque style prints in deep purples and golds. The collections that Minx offer range from highly decorative printed nails to very classic and simple which means there is a style and colour to suit everyone's taste.

Minx nails are a flexible film that shrink-wraps to natural, gel, and acrylic nails using heat. With the application time only being on average 30 minutes you can have stunning celebrity nails in no time! Removing the nails are also a breeze, simple use heat to break the seal and peal off starting from the sides. Minx nails last on average about 14 days on finger nails and 4-6 on toes giving you great wear and style that lasts. No smudge and no chips! Seasoned technicians can even go on a Minx nail course which teaches how to properly apply their products and how to properly remove them meaning you can then pass on your Minx talents onto your clients. Your clients will love this as Minx Nail Wraps are not available to consumers directly but cost no more than a bottle of ordinary polish. Wow.

It's Minx Nails 5th Birthday this year so what will Minx surprise us with next? I can't wait to see. Remember to sparkle to the tip!

Current runway fashion heading to nails

Spotted on the catwalk, the chic colour collection of red and gold are hitting the fashion trends for nails according to the beauty news in Harpers Bazaar's in August 2012 edition.

So I have been investigating what colours I think would work well. I love OPI classic red colours and think these work really well. My favourite would have to be 'The Thrill of Brazil' I think this works really well.

There are lots of ways you can really show off some great red and gold colours you could go for red manicure and gold pedicure (also works well visa versa). If you go for acrylic tips then why not have classic red nails with a gold smile line.

Thrill of Brazil

Some golds that work really well are China Glaze 'I'm not lion' which has some amazing sparkle that when it hits the really brightens a room. 'Kalahari Kiss' is also a great one from China Glaze which is in their 'on safari' range.

I'm not Lion

Hope this gives you some ideas to try some great trends out.
