I was in the
mood for gold this weekend for obvious reasons. For a truly
mirror-like metallic you can't do better than Minx.
This was my
first experience with Minx nail polish strips. If you're not familiar
with the brand, you can have them applied professionally at some
salons (including Ulta), and you can also purchase the DIY packages
for less, although there is a smaller shade selection if you choose
the latter option.
As you can see
the first shade (Technical Tribal) went on a bit cleaner than the
second (Gold Moons). Admittedly my technique still needs work but I
established two things: 1. In my experience patterned shades look
better than solids because the slight wrinkles and bubbles are
less visible. 2. Minx brand goes on a bit easier than the other
brands I've worked with (Kiss and Sally Hansen). I only wish Ulta
carried more shades!
Oh, and if
you're planning to buy these at Ulta, try to avoid paying full price
($18). Coupons for Ulta are easy to come by—here's a Link to a printable coupon on their site.
Go USA!
