New Nail Trend: Minx

I'm super intrigued with this new nail trend called Minx.  Its pretty much a press on nail applique' that you put on you nail with heat.  Its all the rage in Hollywood, NY, and Atl with celebrities and those alike.  It comes at a celebrity price too...$40-$200 an application.  Mostly you will see the bright metallic looks with Minx, but you can go sa far as to customize the image on your nails, such as adding a personal picture or image (like yourself) as a Minx design.  The International, California based company offers and array of designs, so that now, your nails can really match you outfit.  Gone are the days of worrying about whether your nails match that cobalt blue or hot pink dress anymore.  Check out the gallery of ecletic and fun Minx nails, you'll be enlightened and entertained.  Oh and did I forget to mention that there is absolutely no drying time!  I love Seche Vite, but I'll take zero drying time over a few minutes of it any day.
