Hello Everyone! We have some fun updates to share with you today!

This month, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks released a new single called "SOS (Let the Music Play) in which she is wearing some very wild nails! LA-based celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees wrapped nail tips with Golden Lightning Minx, and then dipped the base in gold glitter, leaving the end French Tipped with Minx. She then pierced the ends of the nails and dangled gold chains through to match Jordin's dress. You may use the photo attached for editorial purposes (not for marketing or advertising), but please credit Kimmie Kyees.

We have had a number of excellent local news segments appear on television. WSVN in Miami, Florida featured Minx on the Style File on September 25, 2009 and you can view the clip at the following link if you click on "View the Video": http://www4.wsvn.com/features/articles/stylefiles/MI132422/

And, on September 27, Good Day Sacramento featured Minx nails with the help of local manicurist Kathy Ford, and you can also view this segment through the following link:

And, our newest Minxed celebrity? Actress Scarlett Johannson! The November issue of Glamour magazine (U.S.) features Scarlett on the cover. While the actress doesn't show her hands in the cover shot, the candid photos of her inside the magazine show her with Black and White Houndstooth Minx.

The November issue of "UK Vogue" published an article called "The Nail Files" and featured a gorgeous photo of nails that were polished with Chanel Jade varnish and Golden Lightning Studs tips. Please see the photo attached.

Reflections on the lake

Hello Everyone!

We've had some exciting international placements in the last couple of weeks that I wanted to share with you.

1. From the UK, please find a full page article from Grazia Magazine that was published on November 30, 2009. The editor showed photos of Minx from the Alexander McQueen fashion show in Paris, and published photos of Rihanna with Minx, and Katy Perry with customized Minx.

2. Also from the UK, the December issue of Harper's Bazaar showed the cover of their September issue in which the cover model was wearing Golden Lightning Minx. The editor had so many inquiries about what the model was wearing, that she felt she had to inform her readers about Minx in the December issue!

3. Self Magazine's December issue in the U.S. included Silver Lightning Minx as a way to glisten this holiday season.

4. And, although I don't have a scan of it yet, the December issue of Russian Vogue featured a full page hand shot with Minx, applied by celebrity/session nail technician Sophy Robson! To date, Minx has appeared in British Vogue, US Vogue, Italian Vogue, Japanese Vogue, German Vogue, Chinese Vogue (also the December issue) and Russian Vogue!

Very best regards,
