My nails!
Luckily after the 45 min process I have to say that I absolutely loved how my nails looked — so futuristic and fun! The manicure is supposed to last 4 to 8 days (longer if you have short nails like me). Come the next day however my nails were already peeling at the edges! Perhaps for the better I thought to myself — I was hosting a dinner party at my apartment and the metallic silver didn’t really go with what I planned to wear. Alas taking the Minx nails off is a PAIN IN THE BUTT! Even as they start chipping off you can’t just peal them off. You have to heat them under a blow dryer and hot water — messy, time-consuming and annoying! Plus this seems like it would be bad for your nails (though I was assured that it wasn’t….). I understand that if people want to get elaborate designs on their nails that doing Minx would make sense (even though I personally find leopard print and such on nails rather tacky unless you’re under the age of 12), or for fashion shows, but for a regular manicure this is just too much of pain and does not last long enough for the price..I’m sticking with nail polish! Now I’m on the hunt for an uber-metallic silver nail polish to re-create the Minx look minus the hassle!
