MINX ME BABY



Minx is the HOTTEST nail trend in the industry, all of the celebrities are wearing them and love them. Minx is a flexible film nail covering that includes patterns, metallics and solid colors. There is no drying time, chipping, fumes or chemicals. Removal is simple and can be done at home. They are for women that like to stand out and be noticed. I believe that it will be around for a long time. It's a green product in the sense that there is no odor, no mixing of chemicals and no drying time. Minx comes in a variety of designs and colors over 170 different designs.




The Founders of minx have come up with this GREAT difinition for Minx Nails. "In our definition, a Minx is a sexy, confident, naughty but fun individual who lives every day like it is a big, ripe juicy APPLE ready to be bitten. We’ve channeled this cool factor into Minx, a new and glamorous way that lets women (and men!) extend fashion to their very fingertips."

Alot of my customers love Minx especially when I mix them with other designs. Such as Gels or Rock Star nails. See pictures below you can veiw more pictures on www.NailMogul.com

How to Select a Great Acrylic Brush

Here are a few tips I have come up with when chosen your next or first acrylic brush. Good Luck!!


I thought this would be a great topic. Alot of manicurist do not take the time to choose a great acrylic brush. Chosen the correct acrylic brush will help minimize your application.

1. look for a brush that is 100% Kolinsky versus Kolinsky-Sable blends. Kolinshy brushes is the highest quality and most valuable hair used in artist brush.

2. Also when chosen a brush bend the brush to see if it snaps back in place. If it snaps back in place then that's a keeper.

3. You should choose a brush that is flat and oval in style. This type of brush allows you to work easily with the body of acrylic during application. And also allows you to make a dramatic smile line when creating the permanent french nail design.

4. You should also start with a size #8 brush. A #8 brush allows you to have more control over your brush and allows you to pick up just enough liquid for any nail size.

5. And for a longer lasting acrylic brush find one that is handmade and not milled.




I hope these tips help when choose your acrylic brush. Now let the creativity flow!!!...
