Nail trend guide: Seven of the latest styles

If you like the idea of a nail polish that lasts (and it will cost more) but prefer something edgier, nail art company Minx is a salon favourite. Seen on the
fingertips of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, these flexible polymer films are
applied by a professional but the patterns and options are much
more diverse (think everything from graffiti to flags). Cut to fit each
nail, these sticker-like strips are heat-applied and can also be
customized. While effectively shrink-wrapped to nails these last only
about the same amount of time as a regular mani and can be removed at
home with a blow dryer or back at the salon. (The heat helps them peel
off your nails with no damage.)



Cost: The rate is $50 to $70 per mani.
