The quickest way to flawless nails!

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

During the past year we have seen a real rise in nail trends. Crackle nail polish burst onto the scene throwing us all into a nail art frenzy! Since then we have dabbled in tie-dye nails & even magnetic nail polishes.

For those of us who simply don’t have the time or patience to go dipping a sewing needle into nail polish to make designs there are of course, nail wraps!


The trend began with celebrities like Katy Perry, Alexa Cheung, Beyoncé and Rihanna leading the way so it’s no wonder they are quickly becoming a beauty must have!

With so many designs to choose from whether it be a block colour, animal print, lace or candy stripes you can make your nails look like little pieces of art with ease!

These little wonders only take 15 minutes to apply & last up to 7 days on nails & 8 weeks on toes! They don’t chip or stain will stay super glossy for the entire time you’re wearing them. You can get nail wraps at Topshop, Boots or online at Nail Rock .

Have you tried this new phenomenon?

Let us know your favourite design!

Beyonce’s Beauty

Monday, June 27th, 2011

The beautiful Beyonce wowed the crowds at Glastonbury 2011 last night, the mega-star looked amazing as always as her on stage alter-ego Sasha Fierce. Sporting a look which echoed the style of our favourite divas like Tina Tuner and Diana Ross.

The style icon took some inspiration from the Spring/Summer 2011 shows with her big hair, a look seen at the Topshop Unique and Marc Jacobs runways. Sporting her signature glowing skin with perfectly finished sheen down the centre of her super toned legs. Make-Up was kept to a minimum as she opted for a dewy and shimmering complexion, with soft-mink hued smokey eyes teamed with lashings of mascara, individual lashes and pretty sheer pink lipstick. Red nails complemented her fabulous look.

Off stage, the usual festistas were seen sporting their signature festival ensembles armed with wellies and parkas, the A list certainly braved the mud in style.

Kate Moss seen in her Hunter’s with her signature leather jacket.

Looking every bit the festista, Alexa Chung opted for a Barbour jacket and Superga wellies, paired with a pearl necklace.

Poppy Delevigne looked very on trend with red coloured denim.

Pixie Geldof teamed her Mulberry bag (so jealous) with a vintage parka and Hunter wellies.

Alice Dellal looked edgy as always in her signature biker boots and Diesel jeans.

We can’t wait till festival fever reaches our shores with 9 more sleeps to Oxegen 2011,where the incredible Beyonce headlines the main stage on Sunday 10th July.

If her Glastonbury performance is anything to go by, we’re set to hear all of her solo hits, renditions of Destiny’s Child classics and covers of Alanis Morissette, Kings of Leon and Prince!

GIRLS! Who run this world? We cannot wait!:-)

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

L.A.’s fashion A-listers partied poolside last night to celebrate Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2010 collection.

Alexa Chung wore her heart on the nails, literally working the nail art craze donned by a host of our favourite stars such a Rhianna, Beyonce and Katy Perry. We were in awe in the LA office as we clapped eyes on Ms. Chung, we’re loving her relaxed California look, check out that silk Mulberry blouse and shorts combo teamed with that glowing tan. Very LA chic!

Teary Chic…..

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

beyonce204103Beyonce new video Why Don’t you love Me ‘, is notable for the outfits taking a modern twist on an old school traditional look, a gorgeous vintage cinematic effect and more importantly the make-up is fabulous. The weepy scene is one of our favorite make-up scenes, not suggesting you go for full on mascara streaks, but it champions that worn in make-up trend we all love. Go for smudgy eye glosses…… Spot the Chanel Nail Enamel in Nouvelle Vague throughout, hot shade for Spring/Summer 2010!

LA Treatment of the Month: Minx Manicure

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

minxLA Make-Up Dublin is excited to announce that we are launching a new LA Beauty Therapy course. The students will learn a range of exciting treatments and we’re really looking forward to working with them!

Minx Manicures: This is just one of the fabulous techniques they will be learning with us! You might have seen this funky metallic look on Beyonce! You start with a fabulous collection of stickers which you can mix and match to create your own unique look for your nails. Each hand can be different, and you can even change the design from finger to finger. The look is created with a super-thin strip of film adhesive so no messy liquids. There is a lot of heat involved and as our students are learning you need a steady hand. But the end result is just total bling!

Designs can be plain, criss-crossed, glitter or a full-on metallic shine for your nails. You can go for a jungle look with leopard-stripes and some technicians also offer images like  Barack Obama. Wonder if Brian Cowen would look good on our hands? Ummm, maybe not! Perfect for a special night out, they can last for up to 8 days. But remember they are stuck-on so if you want them to last, be careful!

Tell us what you think of the Minx look!
