Minx Nails

The newest rage in Nail wear is the Minx Nails. They have been spotted on several celebs such as Beyonce, Rihanna and Fergie. Alternative to nail polish, they are Nail Coverings made of flexible film strips that are applied with heat and pressure. They can be custom made and don't smudge, chip, or have a long drying time. Minx is the creation of Los Angeles based manicurist Kimmie Kyees. She was on hand of both Rihanna's "Rude Boy" video and Fergies "Imma Be Rocking That Body" with the futuristic Hologram Minx Nails.

  1. Hmmm I was just wondering how they work. Are they like acrylic type or silk wrap? Or are they natural nails with like a coating added? I think I need to do more research but cool.

  2. From what I understand they are coverings and the tech will apply heat and press them down on top of the nail. They also do toe nails. Now I would love that. I never got into the acrylic toe nails. This would be perfect.
