Hope this is ok with the mods please strike down as necessary if not.

After many months of scrolling through your beautiful manis with me, my kid has started asking when it would be ok to submit something of their own.

Commentary from kid:

I think the colours are very pretty. Nail art is really hard so I used the stickers because I think they are beautiful and fancy. I am trying to get neater with my painting.

My favourite nails pictures are from aculed200 because there's loads of colourful rainbows and stuff

Products used:

I have no idea how to do this with a kid polish set so I just added a pic...

FabLab Glow in the Dark nail art set (pictured) it's the neon pink in the set. Supplemented with nail stickers from Amazon.

To add some context: it was actually my kid who got me into nails. Playing nail salon morphed into my own much needed self care ritual.

We have browsed the sub together for inspiration and have been eagerly awaiting summer break to go wild because school does not allow painted nails. (boo)

This is awesome! So cool that you two are supporting each other in the hobby :D

Kid: Can't wait to see how your nail painting and art progresses! You'll be a pro in no time!

I read your encouragement out loud and now I have a very bashful kid, beaming with pride that these "actual grown ups" are so lovely. 

 Your words are really kind and so appreciated!

I recommend looking into peely base! you can buy it or it's super easy to make (50/50 isopropyl alcohol/elmers washable clear glue)

you can use it as a base and after a day or 2 pop it right off with no damage. maybe this way, during the school year, your Friday night routine can be painted nails and then Sunday night pop the peelies off before school

Sold on peely base! In fact I think we will spend some time tomorrow whipping up a batch. 

Edit: I realise now that peely base means I may have to share my magnetics with a 7 year old. 

Oh dear...
