@RiotDemon Tells you how little I know about nail decorating . When I was younger mine often had ground in grease and other crud from working on boats, etc. When working on boats I’d wash my hands with a green scrubby trying to get the stuff off my hands (only sort of worked) as usually we were out of the industrial strength shop hand cleaner stuff.
My kid (in junior high and high school) would use a tiny paint brush to actually make dots and other decorations on her nails as she would only use her money to buy dollar tree polish and didn’t want to spend her money (just mine ) on all the other things you can buy for nails. I’d spring for that stuff for her on special occasions, etc. but not doing so certainly improved her painting skills (she is also a good artist).
She’d do mine on occasion and then get upset with me that I didn’t protect them and they’d get chipped. As an 11th grader she tried to convince me once that she couldn’t have the chore of doing the dishes as it was wrecking her nail jobs (never mind she had picked that chore off the list of things that needed done to keep the house running). I suggested using the gloves we had in a drawer. She was not amused.
Fabulous!
Awesome!
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
Fun!
Are your toenails matching or contrasting?
@phendrick
Sadly she didn’t offer to do my toes.
Blue looks nice on everyone! She’s got good taste.
Her polka dots show she is good with a paint brush. Does she also do “regular” painting? Other art?
@Kidsandliz the dots are just a non shiny glitter.
