Fast approaching our extended weekend, clients are in for a real treat! With excitement still blazing from the Minx selection designed by Kimmie Kyees, clients can also enjoy an eventful summer as Minx has launched a special edition blue, white and red combination of eight different designs to accompany the truly British theme flooding every town.

With such an array of designs there is a style for every client, a great way to promote these in the salon is by launching a British theme to get your clients interested. Make sure they understand these fun designs offer a lasting finish for any occasion, although we want as many people flaunting their British nails as possible this summer - maybe even Will and Kate will take part.

Scratch magazine is attending the Beauty UK show at the NEC Birmingham 13-14 May and is offering exclusive show offers. Receive 12 issues of Scratch and two issues of Gloss for just £34 and pick up an exclusive OPI gift. The OPI set, worth over £60, includes goodies such as OPI Gold Shatter Polish. Visit Scratch on stand T63 at The NEC arena Birmingham.
