Minx Manicure #2

December 31, 2009 by WendyB

My latest Minx manicure with a glass of Prosecco.

Photo by amazing photographer and food blogger Tina Anderson.

For more about Minx, click here.

Bliss Spa, where I got my nails done, also had Minx in a gold and black fishnet pattern. That would have been perfect if I were wearing this vintage dress for New Year’s.

$165 at Vintageous. Click for more info.

I keep ogling this dress. Someone needs to buy it! It would be great for next New Year’s. Why not think ahead?
