Hi.
This is my personal opionion here...
I tried the lamps from home depot/ pet stores and my set up took up
more space and the shade i put the bulb in didnt look too great for a
salon...so I decided to stop messing around cuz now Minx is taking off
in my area and so I decided to get the Minx Heat... What a
difference!! I LOVE it!!! I should of got it in the beginning. Love
the look of it too and it clamps and easily moves out of the way when
I don't need it. And the way it heats up the Minx too... Makes
application so much easier. :)
Well that's my 2 cents... I'm sure people out there made thier lamps
and it works for them... I just felt it was more of a hassel.

More about these lights, lamps and bulbs...
If I put this lamp on my station, do I have to be sure anything
under it is able to withstand the heat? Can I turn the light away?
can I turn it off? If I turn it off, does it take forever to heat
back up? I'm going to get a clear infrared 250w bulb at Home Depot
but I will also need to look for a lamp to use it in - does it have
a regular bulb base? I don't have a lot of room for an additional
lamp at my station so I'm trying to map this out a little... thanks
guys!

blow dryer does not give even heat,you must have a least a 150 watt
light bulb and a {desk top heat lamp that can with stand the 150 w
heat }most desk lamps are only 60w,also you dont want to cook the
sheets before you apply to warm nail bed/nail plate, just a little
heat to make it more easy to work with it is very easy to do.You
really do need the minx heat or try home depot for work light-desk
heat lamp.

Becky,
If you opt to use the lizard light, be very careful. I saw a girl
get burned from one while getting minxed.

Why doesn't a blow dryer work? I'm just curious if that's the one
thing I'm missing - I don't have an infrared light or the Minx heat
light - and in the training vid, I didn't see Tom heating the Minx
like I did before I applied it.. Maybe that's the problem? I warmed
it, then applied it - it went on really nice and I could smooth it
out, but then it buckled all around the cuticle and sidewalls. Then
it really wants to roll off of the edges - oh man, it made me
crazy!! I need more help! I've only done 4 sets :)

Hi All,
For all you Minx users...do you all buy the heat lamp for Minx
directly or do you use something else. Anyone use a blowdryer??
thanks
