If you follow celebrity fashion or keep in touch with the latest music videos, you might be wondering why the nails that the ladies are sporting look extra spunky these days.  It is thanks to a revolutionary new nail treatment called Minx made from flexible film strips applied to the nails using a heat lamp.  The high gloss, long wearing coating takes about 15-20 minutes for application and needs absolutely no drying time, therefore avoiding accidental smudging or denting.  They are supposed to last for 1-2 weeks without chipping.  To remove them at home you just warm up the film with a hair dryer and peel it off.

So, if you are tired of your run of the mill, timid polishes and can’t stand fake nails either, check out Minx’s stunning array of selection.  The solids are anything but boring (think gold metallic like Beyonce in “Single Ladies” or chrome silver) .

The patterns range from intricate, delicate bridal laces to bold and brash animal prints.  You could even custom design a favorite photo into a nail coating.  How is that for a choice?  If you are worried about any harsh chemicals in the formula, you can relax.  Since it requires only heat for application and removal, it contains no harmful substances and is totally eco-friendly.

This hot new trend sported by the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Pink, Fergie, Christina Aguilera, Victoria Bekham among others, can now be found at Spa Nordstorm Escape. Or, to find a Minx nail salon in your part of the country, try the spa finder at Minxnails.com.  At Nordstorm , getting a minx treatment would cost you $50 including manicure and just $30 without manicure.

So recently I got this Blueberry Fusion Facial Polish as a gift from a friend who actually frequents the store The Body Deli in Palm Desert, California. All their products are super fresh and made of fruits, veggies and other natural ingredients.

So anyhow back to my gift or what I now affectionately refer to as “the purple stuff” because although it is made with BLUE-berries the concoction is well purple. First impression, stuff smells great! How great? So great, it smelled like a lovely fruit puree of some sort, blueberry sherbet? According to the marketing its suppose to be all “natural” and such so I tasted just a touch. Doesn’t taste great but smells great.

I liked the packaging and after use it left my face feeling smooth and soft. Not unlike a lengthy facial treatment at a day spa.

One thing that was both a blessing and a burden was that it needs to be refrigerated. Which meant I loved how it felt cool on my cheeks when I would apply it, but the drawback is I sometimes would forget to use it because it was in the fridge. Plus, I dunno I like to keep my fridge cosmetic free. The last thing I need is my crazy Grandpa spreading my blueberry face wash over a piece of toast! (He would soooo do it!)

But when I visited their website seems it’s the nature of the “freshness” of the ingredients and necessary to maintain the product.

Here’s their official concept:

The concept is simple – to offer a healthy menu of “fresh food for the skin.” All products are handmade in small batches, designed to maximize their freshness and potency. Each unique formulation addresses the basic nutritional needs of the body, face and hair by utilizing raw, fresh,
natural and organic ingredients, including organic yogurt, tofu, fresh fruit and vegetables, and all-natural plant oils.

Final thoughts: If you are hankering for a fresh, and re-freshing reprieve from the Summer heat and feeling sticky icky all the time check out their site and products. Two thumbs up!
