I can’t use Minx since my nails are soft. And a nail tech friend already warned me about lazy techs and their drills. No thanks!

MInx, for me, was just okay. I had to take it off in two days because of the lifting, but that’s because my natural nails are really curved. SHellac was fine, but there aren’t a lot of colors. Gelish has coloers and even some glitters! I wore a bubblegum pink glitter while I was on vacay and I loved it. I want to try the denim blue next.

Love. It. No damage, no mechanical sanding. Just soaking in acetone, peel/rub the polish off, and buff if there’s any left. I did that myself, but I could have paid the salon to do it before the next application. It’s one of those things that’s probably easier for someone else who’s had practice to do it. I’m going to get it done again, if I can quit breaking my nails and get a little length.

I used OPI Nail Envy to make them healthy again. It is hard to find a nail salon that doesn’t use the drill or scrape the shellac off.

Minx looks fun and I will start looking to find a nail salon in Dallas that specializes in the process.

P.S. I am loving my All of My Purple Life lipgloss. I combined it with Violetta and the compliments keep coming!

Thanks Afrobella!

I use gelish after having been using shellac.

The gelish lasts long especially since I wash dishes by hand. To remove it a special liquid is used and while I am getting my pedicure, the liquid is applied to cotton balls which are wrapped to my fingertips then pieces of foil paper are used to keep the cotton in place and I guess warm the liquid on the cotton. So by the time my pedicure is finished my manicure can begin.

Minx looks like it would do well here at Carnival time and I guess the Christmas/Ole Year’s celebrations.

If you go somewhere and they are using the drill….RUN! That defeats the whole purpose. You dont want to damage your nails for the sake of polish lasting 14 days.
