When I was visiting my friend Kim on the weekend, a flash of molten gold caught my eyes, which shone from her fingertips. I instantly thought she'd had a Minx-over, because they had that famous, metallic glisten which comes hand-in-hand with Minx nail designs. The surprisingly good news? These were actually nail varnish applications from....Primark! For £3 a pack, you get 18 foil, nail varnish applications, which apply to your nails with the aid of hairdryer heat. The stupid thing is that you only get 18 nail applications, which means you don't have enough to do two full applications unless you're missing a couple of digits. We came to the conclusion that this must be a cunning ploy to make you buy more packs in order to repeatedly coat your claws. For a mere £3 though, I think they're definitely worth it. Some of the designs are a bit dodgy - pink and black, skull and crossbones anyone who's not an emo teen? However, if you choose one of the nicer designs, the result really is that of a professional manicure.
This was my friend's first attempt at doing this, so she said next time she'd try and make the edges a little neater. Aside from that, I think they're pretty good.
What do you think? Have you used these before, and if not, will you be buying them?
