Mini-mani ideas wheel

I have been working on some ideas for mini manis  - kids nail art. I am looking to manufacture or import non-toxic nail polish and get some proper kids nail art happening (not just poxy Barbie & Dora toxic awfulness) In these ones I used some nail polish and also tried using kids acrylic paint for the designs with top coat. They worked pretty well although in practice (on my mini guinea pig) they came off within the day... I'll keep trying.

Mini mani party!

Mini-manis at Alice's party were a hit! Thanks to my beautiful hand models Alice, Hamish, Clover & Lucia xxx

Kids party nails!

We are going to our friend Alice's 5th birthday party tomorrow. I am going to do some mini-manis. I need to practice Peppa Pig & Lego apparently... I'm rather fond of these though!

Mini-Manis - Octonauts!

OCTONAUTS! 

I tried out some Octonauts on my daughter. Considering how squirmy she was they turned out well really... Although she had literally eaten off the green one by morning (I better start making sure I use on-toxic polishes on the bubs I guess...).

I am trying out a new way of pre-painting intricate designs to stick on.. I will quite literally keep you posted xx

Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo!!

My 2 year old daughter LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba so as a treat for her (and because we have been really jet-lagged and I have had literally hours to kill in the middle of the night) I painted my nails as the characters. Here are the original characters if you don't now them:

And here are my nails:

Needless to say she loved them and every morning would call out their names as we ate breakfast.

I decided that I wanted to try out something else on my nails and she was so sad to see them go that I painted her nails with them. Careful, you might experience a slight cuteness overload...

oh and btw, this is not her first manicure. This is:

She got it done in a real live salon while I was getting my toes be-glittered. I have NEVER seen her more attentive. Love x
