♥ luck consists of hanging on by your fingernails until things start to go your way.

i have spent the better part of my life painting my nails.

as a school girl, i would entertain classmates (or maybe just myself!)

by painting my nails each night to match my outfit.

flowers, flags, glitter, lady buys, cow print, leopard print, hearts, plaid, stripes, dice:

you name the theme.

my nails have seen it.

needless to say,

i am virtually immune to the strong and impossible

stench of nail polish and remover,

and though not exactly ambidextrous,

i can paint my nails equally well with either hand.

if only i had known then what i know now.

: drum roll please :

presenting minx nail coverings,

the greener, faster, neater, less stinky + most exciting

way to update the look of your finger nails

since lee press.on!

forget everything you know about amateur nail painting.

minx nails are made of a flexible film

that is applied using a simple heat process that will not smudge or peel,

does not take hours to dry,

is not made of harsh chemicals,

will not leave your nails in horrible condition like acrylics,

:and my favorite feature of all:

can be customized with any image

to match exactly with your outfit!

here are some of my faves:

the process is done only by minx professionals. (find salons found here.)

and has been popping up in every magazine from vogue to glamour,

and on every celebrity fingertip from beyonce to eve to fergie to lady gaga.

thankfully now you don't have to be a celeb

to be a minx!
