Want a Minx Manicure Without the High Cost?
May 28th, 2010
Back in 2008, I told you all about Minx, the revolutionary film that adheres to nails without chemicals or glue. Minx is all the rage with top celebrities, like Rihanna and Beyonce, and until now, was only available to big city girls with fat pockets. Thanks to Sephora, you now can get your own Minx Manicure for a fraction of the cost.
Introducing Sephora by OPI’s Chic Print for Nails, created by Minx. The new line boasts fierce patterns and prints to satisfy your wildest mani-and-pedi dreams. Dress your tips with your favorite design: anchor, stars, checkers, tiger, fishnet, chrome lace, black & gold geometric, or skulls.
How to use Minx: Each set of Chic Print for Nails contains 16 nail patches of varying widths, for a one-time application to fingers or toes. The nail patch is a solid-film material with an adhesive back that is heat activated. Applying heat creates conformability, allowing the patch to fit over the compound curves of your nails and seal onto the nail bed. The patent-pending material removes easily with heat.
Where to find it: Sephora, of course, for $15!
I especially dig the Anchor and Fishnet styles, shown below. What do you think? Will you be racing to Sephora for your very own Minx Manicure?

Drugstore Find of the Week – St Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub
May 24th, 2010
As you all know, I have a taste for the finer things in life (who doesn’t?), but I’m also a bargain hunter by birth, so drugstores are almost as much fun for me as Sephora. Recently, I was looking for a new daily cleanser that would get the job done without breaking the bank, and stumbled across St Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. This dermatologist-tested scrub helps clear and soothe your skin, while reducing redness. I love that it’s hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and not tested on animals. It’s got all the good stuff your skin loves – green tea, olive oil, and silica to gently exfoliate. This scrub is gentler than their apricot scrub, and really helps keep acne at bay. This one’s a win for drugstore divas everywhere!
Where to find it: Your local Walgreens or CVS for about $6.49.
