Have You Tried a Minx Manicure?

December 30, 2009

Minx manicures, the metallic-colored professional-only nail wraps, are becoming more popular thanks to celebrities like Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Kelly Clarkson. Most recently, at an LA Lakers game, Hayden Panettiere wore a gold foil manicure. Seeing her auriferous manicure got me to thinking that perhaps I should try my hand at sporting some Minx, and according to the brand's website, the nearest salon is a just a mere .2 miles away from my apartment. What about you? Have you tried — or do you plan on trying — a fashionable Minx mani?

I absolutely LOVE the concept, but, as someone who 'walks' with her hands, I don't know if it would be such a great idea. I have to get thick acrylic put on my nails just so they don't break. My paws take a serious beating, but man, I'd love to have an excuse to splurge... ;)

Omg I love the nail job! It's beautiful. I'm gonna be a manicurist just as soon as I finish my training. I'm going to school for it at Empire Beauty School, it's so much fun and so interesting! For all you gals out there who don't believe in your ability to make it big, I'm telling ya GO DO IT! I can't wait, I'm gonna be making so much money! At least according to this site about manicurist salaries. Does anyone know if this is really how much they make? I really hope it is!!

It would not last more than a few days on me. I'm lucky if I get a week out of OPI polish, even with a top coat. Not worth the price tag.

You can do them yourself! My mom bought a few foils on EBay and they do look fab! (and the're cheap too!!)

I'd love to try them if the price wasn't so extravagent.

They're cute, but not worth the money. I think metallic nail polish gives just enough shine that it's pretty sufficient to catch the eye. It lasts 1-2 weeks ish.

I wish! I can't even do $10 on a regular basis now a days.

I love that color, but $60 is a stretch. It would have to last 6 weeks (aka the $10/wk it costs me now).

ren_kr 3 years 20 weeks

oo they look so cool, but $60? I can't even justify $10 for a mani because they only last one night for me.

I may try a minx mani this next year. I think they look great!

eshellmoyer 3 years 20 weeks

they are so pretty, but I don't like to spend a lot of time or money on my nails.

I get acrylics because I am a bartender in a strip club and my nails get destroyed from always being in water but have to look good otherwise I wouldn't get it done at all. It would have to be a pretty special occasion to spring for the Minx Mani

Maybe if they weren't so expensive. I tend to destroy manicures pretty quickly.

They seem interesting, but I would rather try something similar at home, since I think a Minx manicure costs around $60 (maybe ok for a *very* special event, but not so much just for fun).
