I just wanted to quickly let everyone know that one of the owners of Minx responded to my recent post about Minx Nails ....MASTERMINX said...
Hi Princess of Polish! My name is Janice Jordan, one of the owners of Minx. Just wanted to let you know we hear you and are hard at work developing a hands on training course we plan on launching in 2010. We have some really cool fun stuff we are working on as well including new designs and customization for the nail artist who really wants to get creative. Thank you for your support and giving Minx a go!
I think this comment to my Minx post was phenomenal. How many companies take time to respond to a customer in the manner, not many. Much appreciation and respect to Janice Jordan. I hope to be this responsive to customers / clients when I open my salon ( note to self).
I didn't learn about Minx when I went to school to become a manicurist ( weird , I though nail school taught you everything...lol) . I was introduced to Minx by a friend when she showed me a picture of Beyonce sporting the silver nails. I took out a few of my trade magazine and read some articles about nails and application process. I found out about them on Monday and by Friday I was ordering a kit. I was just that intrigued!
I am so excited and cant wait to see the upcoming 2010 developments from Minx . I will keep you all posted.

The Princes of Polish...Down but not out!
Down but not out......
On Tusday, I came home form a long day at work to find my front door kicked in and all my belongings gone. Im hartbroken. Per my pervious post my camera was broken but, now honey is with the bad guys. If you read my post about the DS I recently purchase for the little princess .....gone. My Flat screen TV's, Sony Vizo Laptop, Video Camera , jewelry, handbags etc..all gone. Upset is an understatement!
All my nail art, business plans and pictures were on my laptop. Gone. All the pictures Ive painted in the past 3 years.......I feel so sad and violated. I was just starting to wet my feet in the world of blogs. I was having so much fun! They even stole my fun.
I purchased a new front door, and I'm putting an alarm system in Monday. Hopefully, I'll be up and again soon. I am gonna continue to read everyone's blogs , and hope to post again soon.....Down but no OUT!
nail salon.....ps, they left my polishes!

nail salon ..reviews Minx Nails
The nails are fun, applied in a Wink.
A new style of nails, that they call MINX!
Want Superstar Nails? Try MINX...That's what the ad said in the July Issue of Blah Blah Magazine ( I don't recall the name of the magazine , sorry) . Most of us seen MINX on tons of Celebrities nails and from what Ive heard the consensus seems to be that most people think they look really cool. MINX nails are definitely one of the hottest trends in the nail industry in the past year. I've worn MINX around town and believe me , they are real conversation starters. MINX are Bright , Flashy and Shinny and there are a lot of people that have not idea what they are .
Well, if your not up on MINX yet here is the deal MINX are made of a thin plastic film that when heated, the film affixes to your nails. They look hot! The come in a range of styles and patterns. Some salons even have the ability to personalize the MINX and use your own pictures ( cool huh). MINX nails are available at your local nail salons and can range form $35.00 to $65.00. If you go to the MINX website they have a list of salons that offer MINX. For those of use who have a passion for doing our own nails MINX would be a nice fun treat .
Just a note to the MINX company, it would be really nice if you offered more training classes. I like MINX but, I an independent nail artist with tons of ideas. If you order a MINX kit you do get access to an online tutorial video. I am a visual person who has lost of questions and I need more. Ive heard that the nails should last a month but, can only get them to look good without lifting for a week. Ive contacted MINX about training and was advised to read some other blogs for more help (huh) . I use MINX on myself and friends but,would NOT offer this to my clients with out more formal training.
