Nail Fraud!
Urban Outfitters is getting in on the nail art trend with its own version of Minx nails, with a brand called Nail Fraud. Available in four different colors, floral, python (above right), dollar bill (above left), and peacock, each pack comes with two sets of 20 nails. They’re made of a flexible film and the only trick is fitting them to your nail and filing off the excess. Although the dollar bills set is a bit hood boogar-ish I still wish they had this before I went out and spent $40 on a minx mani that only lasted 3 days lol.
Glamour Says: How To Do A Mani Like A Pro
1- First, smooth the surface of your nails with a buffer. Soften your cuticles by rubbing a little bit of lotion or oil over them, and then push them back gently with an orange stick (find it at drugstores).
2- Swipe your nails with acetone to remove dirt and oils before polishing.
3- Lounging on the couch won’t give you the best manicure angle, but sitting at a table or desk will. Place hands on top of a paper towel to catch any spills.
4- A thin coat of the clear stuff creates a smooth surface for color to cling to—skip it and you’ll end up with streaks.
5- Whether you’re doing a manicure or a pedicure, hold the brush midcap, not at the tippy-top—you’ll have more control that way. Paint on two layers of polish with light-handed strokes, allowing color to dry completely between coats.
6- A layer of the clear, shiny stuff smoothes away any flubs and flaws.
7- We know it’s hard to sit still, but you need to let nature take its course. Never blow on wet polish, says Elsbeth: “It creates moisture bubbles that lead to chips later.” Instead, keep coats extra thin to speed up drying time.
