Having a girly three year old at home, we have a lot of fun painting our nails. My daughter gets so excited when I agree to let her paint my nails. She is surprisingly good but most days I spend a few minutes with polish remover before I leave the house. This week she begged me to paint my nails with glitter polish. Don’t get me wrong, I love glitter, but I wasn’t up for a full glitter manicure. We compromised and I ended up with a colorful glittery french manicure.
My daughter’s favorite part of painting our nails is picking the polish. We decided [my daughter convinced me] my nails should be bright pink and purple. For this manicure I used e.l.f. “Fluorescent”, Sally Hanson Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear “Rockstar Pink”, and Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat.

| Excuse the poor condition of the polish bottles. My daughter is a messy artist. |
Start with two coats of pink. Let nails dry completely and then carefully add a thin line of glitter polish to the tip of your nails. The Sally Hansen polish was thick and made it very easy to draw a straight line by hand. When polish is dry, apply a second layer for more sparkle. Finish your nails with a top coat.
My daughter said they look fantastic. I agree. You can’t go wrong with hot pink and purple glitter!

its me again, over from Tip Junkie. I think our daughters would get along really well! We love doing the same things together. After I show her this, I know how our nails will look tomorrow!
So cute! My girls will love this! 🙂
How old is your daughter?! She did great! I can’t even paint my own nails half as good. 😉 This is definitely something I’m going to remember to let my daughter do when she is older. Such a cute and fun idea. I would love if you shared this at my Throwback Thursday link party. I hope to see you there and thanks so much for sharing! 🙂 http://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-4/
