Valley Of Dreams.

For my vacation a few weeks ago I stocked up on magazines, one of which was Glamour's July issue. I don't usually read Glamour, but I was pleasantly surprised once I came upon this page. The page shows a model wearing minx nails, the newest nail fad.

I first heard about minx when Beyonce started to don them to big events. At the time I thought the idea was neat, but her flashy nail designs didn't tempt me. When I saw the funky and cute floral design and realized that they were also from minx, it actually made me want to consider going to a salon where minx nails are offered.

For those of you who haven't heard about minx nails in the past, you can imagine them as being somewhat like stickers. The minx website describes them as "solid nail coatings" which are heated before application.

Minx nails are pricier than a traditional manicure, Glamour says that you can expect them to cost you around $55. This is certainly more than I'm used to paying, but you should consider that they take a lot less time than that traditional manicure and you are given a wide variety of intricate options to showcase on your nails.

The first picture alone was enough to make me keep minx in the back of my mind when a special occasion comes along.
