I have not gotten any product yet, but am glad you posted your frustrations, Shannon.......now I know what I am in for. The more I think about it, the more I wonder what the percentage of accurate fit is going to be with 18 sizes/shapes to choose from! And I can only imagine how difficult it will be to learn how to trim the cuticle area to fit odd shaped cuticles. Do you have any particular scissors? Do you trim before or after you've removed them from the sheet? I bought a 150w heat lamp from Pet Co + the clamp on lamp (with the nerdy little reptile protector grill). Cost me close to $50. I think they are a bit cheaper from Minx. Waiting patiently. I paid by cc.....wonder if it'll still take nearly 2 weeks. Marsha McDonald Rubino GIMME NAILS 37 Fifth St. E.

I have practiced the clear minx on a few people. I have had trouble with wide nails that the minx does not cover but overcame this. I really do not like practicing with the clear as I can not see where it sits, when it rubs off, etc... so I ordered some patterns along with a lamp on the 24th. They say they just got the order today and it will ship sometime next week. They said they do not get the order until paypal releases it with payment and that paypal must have help my payment for some reason (although I paid by credit card from my checking account and the money was taken out on the 25th but whatever) I am just frustrated that I have already taken appointments and I may have to reschedule them because my patterns (along with my lamp) will have taken almost 2 weeks to get to me. Frustrating. I am also frustrated that I tried to work with the gold foil and it was a DISASTER!!!! I found it to be not as pliable as the clear and had problems with wide nails (on a different person) and had problems with filing it off (was harder than the clear) I know it takes practice and tomorrow I will be fine and happy and ready to try again but it is late and I am frustrated and just needed to vent and rant. Like I said, tomorrow is a new day and many things about being a nail tech takes practice, practice, practice. I just do not want to do an actual paying client and have these results. I will practice more this week so hopefully it will get easier... Thanks for listening guys!!!
