Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival named my latest Minx manicure “Fade to Black.” It is a two-layered look, with a silver Minx on the bottom and a black ombre Minx on top. I had been tempted to do the red metallic Minx again because I loved it so much, but I was glad I opted for [...]

Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival named my new holographic nail designs “Well, Holo There!” For the toes, she did two layers of Minx: a silver holographic layer with a silver lace pattern over it. As with my last pedicure, it was difficult to dissuade Henry the dog from “helping” with the photography. Here’s a better look. [...]
