Glitter Nails

Do you have a little girl who loves all things sparkly and shiny? Well, I do. And she loves to paint her fingernails. Sometimes I go into her room and the first thing that hits me is the smell of nail polish. I immediately starts looking for spills and I usually find the nail polish open and within reach of my almost 2-year-old son. Not a good situation. I’ve seen glitter nails on Pinterest lately and thought I’d give it a try. I tested it on myself before attempting it on my daughter.
You need:
Clear nail polish
Glitter
Three steps:
Put on a coat of clear nail polish.
While nail is still wet, dip nail in glitter. Shake off the excess.
Put a topcoat of clear nail polish on to seal the glitter
We did this while she was watching a movie in order to keep her distracted from the process since it is a bit more time consuming than a regular coat of nail polish. She loves them. The glitter should last a few days at least. She nicks her nails a lot and some has started to come off (hence the picture of only three fingers, above). This would be a cute activity at a little girl’s birthday party. I may use it at my daughter’s princess party this fall.

I love this great, simple idea! I’ll have to share it with my 8 year old daughter. She’s really into doing nails right now. She learned to give a basic manicure at Girl Scouts and now she wants to give one to everybody! Thanks for sharing on It’s Playtime!
My almost 3 yr old girl would LOVE this – she sports nail polish, and is always demanding glitter on crafts… Perfect combination!
