Bling Nails Like Beyonce With Minx
Minx Nails are the latest trend in celebrity nails. It’s a flexible polymer that is heated it applied to nails they are a mess free, green alternative to nail polish and fake tips. They have been popping up at red carpet events, in music videos and on the runways. Celebrity manicurists love Minx for their fashion forward designs.
Chrome Minx – Forget trying to get that perfect mirror finish with a chrome(metallic) nail polish. It’s NEVER going to happen. Minx Silver and Golden Lightening is the only way to get a true chrome look on nails.
Custom/Patterned Minx – For the nail art lover or fashionista, designer Minx is the way to go. With over 100 different patterns to choose from, there is a Minx for every occasion but for a very specific look, Minx can create custom designs. You can even have your favorite photos turned into a Minx nail coating. For example, during the election, celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan requested custom Obama Minx; one set with his last name and with his face.
Fashion Shows – At LA Fashion Week, Christian Audigier called upon celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees to design plaid and American flag tips for his American Lord show. With practically no notice it was Minx to the rescue. Working through the night, they were able to create and deliver custom designs for 300 tips. It took 8 hours and help from Minx’s LA trainer Naja Rickette, celebrity “green” manicurist Jenna Hipp and her friend Steph to apply the coating in time but they got it done. Could you imagine if they tried to paint the designs by hand? Impossible!
Have you seen Willow Smith’s Nails?
The daughter of Will and Jada Smith was recently voted one of the best dressed celebrity children. But, did you know that Willow is also a nail diva. You may have seen Willow on tv recently promoting her new song Whip My Hair But, did you check out her NAILS?
In the video, we find Willow Smith rocking a variety of looks. From heart-shaped, braided mohawks to afro puffs, Willow proves that whipping one’s hair back and forth can be done regardless of the style. The video starts with Willow entering an all white classroom. With a little whip action and some paint, she quickly turns things around. Soon, everyone gets in on the “whipping” action, including a teacher and an adorable little toddler.
Highlights of the video include Willow Smith’s super fantabulous nail art, many wardrobe changes, and a little stepping action. I’m excited to see what’s to come of one of the latest artists signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation music label. In the meantime, I guess I’ll just continue to “Whip it real hard. Whip it. Whip it real hard!”
