Minx does not advocate the use of gel on top of Minx, but in my experience it may be a wise choice in certain cases, such as if the client has very oily nails or works a lot in water. Applying gel on top will take the shine down a bit. It’s important to have a good understanding of proper Minx application and the importance of heat before using anything on top. It must be sold as an “add-on”. Minx is marketed as needing no base or top coat. Since using gel over Minx is not part of the Minx process you should charge more for the gel coat. A suggested way to use gel and Minx is to consider applying gel over a client’s natural nail plate before applying Minx, in cases where there are ridges or natural nail damage, so that there is a smooth surface to apply the Minx. — Naja Rickette is a Minx Master and lead trainer.
