Nail Art That's Chemical-Free and Long Lasting by Minx
Though they've been around for a few years, we finally got our hands on a set of Minx nail coatings. The long lasting, quick and easy nail art was an office hit! Here's our experience as nail art newbies.

Minx at the office
After we saw this post on Louloumagazine.com we had to try Minx nail decals for ourselves! We contacted the company and were put in touch with Laura Merzetti, owner and technician at Scratch My Back nail studio in Ajax, Ontario. She swung by our office late last week (tough life, we know) to give us a firsthand look (pun intended) at all Minx has to offer. -

As we spend most of our time on a computer, manicures aren’t something we generally take the time to spend money on. We adore them, but they’re often chipped within hours.
Where Minx comes in is with their vinyl strips that can last up to two weeks! Since there’s no paint they won’t chip and when you’re done with them you can simply peel them off with the help of a bit of heat (read: blow dryer).

With no harsh chemicals, no acetone removers required and a material that will withstand water, hand sanitizer, soap, and even nail polish remover, Minx offers designs that would otherwise be too intricate for polish. From metallic to the zebra print we opted for (slide 1), Minx is like jewelry for your nails.
We were pleasantly surprised at how many people noticed our nail art with friends and family asking, “Can we talk about your nails for a second?"

And though Minx must be applied by a trained technician we assure you its quick and easy application, effortless removal and long-lasting wear make it worthwhile. We’re already debating which metallic design will be our Christmas colour du jour!
