How to Stick on Minx Nails
Minx nails are colored nail coverings that are applied with heat. Minx nails come in a wide variety of shining designs and will not crack or chip like standard false fingernails. Minx nails come in over 100 styles, can be ordered in custom designs and were featured on the cover of NAILS Magazine in January 2008. Minx nails can be applied by a professional manicurist or at home, provided that you have the proper equipment. Does this Spark an idea?
