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.
