OPI’s NEW Chrome Effects and Infinite Shine Glaze Toppers
After seasons of barely-there manicures and minimalist nail looks, chrome is officially back in the spotlight.
The Minx Professional by Kimmie Kyees collection is new for spring and summer 2012.


The Minx Professional by Kimmie Kyees collection is new for spring and summer 2012. “We could not be more pleased to present this vibrant, exciting set of Minx designs,” says Minx cofounder Dawn Lynch-Goodwin. “Kimmie is one of the top celebrity nail stylists in the world and her creativity, imagination, and artistry have resulted in a fantastic collaboration that reflects her exciting lifestyle.”
Says Kyees, a Los Angeles-based nail tech with a long roster of celebrity clients: “Even way back when I first started my career, I loved bright colors. I would bring all the traditional nail colors to a job, but I also had my ‘party bag’ with brights and neons and all the colors of the rainbow, and I converted so many celebrities who had been playing it safe with nudes, pinks, and reds. I wanted my first Minx line to be a collaboration between color and my everyday experiences, with a lot of shapes and movement to give my nail designs action and a life of their own.”
This fun, vibrant line includes eight designs: Lustrous Lizard, Rainbow Leopard, Krackled Kimmie, Leopard Sorbet, Star Light, Twiggy, Gotcha!, and Psychedelic Funk.
