Tips for Making Minion Nail Art Last

Character art is all in the fine detail, so seal it with a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days to protect goggle outlines and tiny faces from wear. If you are painting at home, sketch the face in pale grey first and build up the yellow in thin layers — it keeps the lines crisp and stops the colours bleeding into each other.

From one tiny peeking face to a full rainbow extravaganza, Minion nails guarantee your manicure gets noticed. Pick your favourite design, book the appointment, and prepare to say bello to your new nails.
