Nail Fun
Nail Fun is all about having fun with your nails. Layering it, splattering it, making pretty patterns with it … it’s the most fun you can have on your own with a child in the house !! J
The “Beth”
So, in a rare moment of agreeable mumliness, I had agreed that Beth could do my nails in the holidays. For those of you who don’t know her, Beth is 8 and a mini me. I’ll admit, I expected her to use almost every polish I own, for the layer of varnishes to be at least an inch thick on every nail and for me to be ITCHING to rub it all off.
But, you know, she’s good my daughter, and amazingly, she came up with some COOL designs. The thing I loved the most was her care and attention to detail – she rarely went outside the lines, treated the polishes like the goddesses they are, and although she did try to use 5 polishes on every nail, she’d thought it through, and knew exactly what to dab where. Yes, she was a dabber. A super delicate, tongue-slightly-sticking-out, don’t breathe dabber. Bless her.
Oh yes, this is where she turned to my face of awe and wonder and said – “you just thought I was clumsy didn’t you?” Nooooooo.
So, to give it its official title – 27 polishes, an 8 yr old, one hour and 1 impressed Momma!
I’m going to start with my absolute favourite – isn’t this one AMAZING?! Tiger stripes and glitter. Amazing combo, and she did something I would have NEVER thought to do – she applied the colours independently rather than 1 on top of the other, so not only do you get the colour contrast, you get a texture contrast too. Gold star for Beth!
