Getting in the Minx of Things

Your Bargainista Afficionado is here to update you on the latest nail rage called "Minx Nails". However, before I get into that let me define what a Bargainista Aficionado is: A Bargainista Aficionado is a person who likes, knows about, appreciates and usually has a fervently pursued interest or activity in finding bargain fashion. Like a "Devotee" to style. One that's all about looking her best for less.

Now that we have cleared that up; back to the hottest nail rage "Minx Nails". These nails are what every woman who knows about style is wearing or trying to wear. Celebrities like Beyonce, Rihanna, Solange, Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga are just a leading few who seem to adore this current nail trend. I have been seeing this trend for a minute now and wanted to blog about it but remembered to do so when I saw Sherae from (RHOA) Real Housewives of Atlanta getting hers done.

The Minx nail overlay comes in over 171 styles from what I can see on their website. Minx nails are considered the ultimate fashion accessory because they can easily coordinate with your look right down to the actual pattern. Apparently the cost ranges from $55-$80. That can appear to be a little steep for a Bargainista.

In actuality when you weight the cost of repairing a chipped recently polished manicure versus the longer lasting heat application of Minx overlay it may actually balance out. Check out the videos below and note that it generally must be applied by a Professionally Minx trained Manicurist.

Bag, Borrow or Steal Your Next Look

For those of you, like myself who saw "Sex In The City" the movie, there is a particular scene I want you to recall. Do you remember when Carrie Bradshaw's assistant, Louise (Jennifer Hudson) who was a true handbag Fashionista, constantly left her boss Carrie wondering how she afford these expensive handbags on her salary.

Carrie finally got the nerve to ask just how. Louise revealed her sources like a true Bargainista Beauty. She revealed that she frequently swaps designer purses through the Bag Borrow or Steal program. How does Bag Borrow or Steal work you may ask? At Bag Borrow or Steal the make it simple for you to rent authentic designer handbags, jewelry, sunglasses and watches - so you can always enjoy the very latest and most popular styles.

1.First decide if you'd like to become a Bag Borrow or Steal member OR just simply rent as a Guest. (Members enjoy their lowest rental rates plus other privileges)

2.Browse through their wide selection click the (borrow button) for the items you'd like to rent.

3.You can rent by the week, the month or as long as you prefer.

4.When you're ready to swap out for a new item, just return and select a new item.

- There's never a late fee.
- Special savings when you borrow for 3 months at a time

Lastly, if you find you cant seem to part from your bag, you can do what's considered a "steal" from them by buying what you have been renting. For more details visit their FAQ page. Just read this here taken from their about us page.

"Why should women have to endure the emotional and financial sacrifices that accompany the endless search for the "right" accessory for every event, wedding, and dinner party? Why should celebrities, fashion editors, and socialites be the only ones allowed to borrow fashion accessories? Why not give everyone access to the perfect accoutrement for every occasion?"

I just love Bag Borrow or Steal's slogan "Let's Be Honest We All Want The Good Stuff". Well, I say ain't that the truth!
