I just love that word – phalanges. It’s fun to say. But technically this bling isn’t on the phalanges. That would imply that it’s actually on the fingers and toes. But that’s a much “funner” word to say than toenails or fingernails, right? So we’ll stick with phalanges.
I realize it’s not summer time anymore but one should still keep up on their grooming. Right? So when my daughter wanted me to paint her nails this seemed like so much fun. And it’s super easy (which is always a plus in our home.)
I found some glitter. You can use any kind of glitter, I don’t think it matters.
My daughter loves the color aqua right now. I think she just likes to say aqua so that’s why she likes it. Hmmmm, where does she get those little quirks???
Anyways… we painted a coat of aqua fingernail polish on her little phalanges. When the nail polish was still wet we dipped her fingers in the glitter. Simple as that!
We blew on the glitter to get the loose glitter off and then painted a coat of clear nail polish over the top.
For some strange reason my daughter doesn’t like her toes and her fingers to be the same color (I have no idea why) so we put a coat of orange nail polish on her toes and did the same steps. She LOVED them!
Heck, I loved them! So we did my toes next =o)
You know, I consider myself a total girly-girl but I didn’t know you could do THAT! Princess and I will be glittering this weekend. 🙂
Stop by and linkup and Halloween photos you have. I love it!
I would recognize those sweet little fingers and toes anywhere! You’re such a sweet mama, Erin.
You are so funny. You always make me smile. I think we have the same sense of humor:) This is such a great idea. I showed my 13-year-old daughter and she loved it. Those are such cute little toes:D
Darling idea…but I wanna see a picture of YOUR toes too! =)
Love this! I’ve been wanting to do some glitter toes for a while now…
also, your toffee bars in your last post look amazing! I may have to try them out!
Thanks for commenting on my blog!
How adorable! 🙂
What a cute idea! Can’t wait to have a girl to do all the fun girly stuff with! In the meantime, I might just have to try this… for quality control, you know? =]

So cute!! My little girl would be all over this! We tried the nail shields last weekend, but I think she’d much prefer your glitter look! Thanks for sharing!

Now that’s just pure fun! Thanks for sharing.
Aww! My baby loves twinkle toes! But she makes me do them for her like my clients… With the light and the “real” product… I will try this with her, maybe it will pass her “toddler-standard” 🙂
Thanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can’t wait to see what you have for next week!

She has the cutest little nails! The glitter is so pretty. Is it hard to get off?
I love little toes! My daughter is the same way always wanting her fingernails and toenails to be different. Thanks for sharing at Fantabulous Friday!
That’s awesome! I have silver glitter toes on right now! LOVE IT!
That looks like so much fun! I’m going to surprise my girls and do this with them!! Thanks for sharing!
That is so cute! My daughter would love that. I will have to try it.
How cute! I bet both of my little granddaughters will love this! I’ll have to have a “glitter” weekend soon! Thanks for the idea!
Hugs!

This is so cute! My daughter will absolutely love this too!! This will be a fun little something to do at her next sleep over party. Thanks for the idea!
My girls will love this! They’re always disappointed by the glitter nailpolishes we buy because they’re not glittery enough. Looks like pedicures are in our near future.
Thanks so much for linking up to my Summer Fun party.

Wow, I think even I could do that! Great idea 🙂
I love the girlie toes, but what I love best of all is the side picture of your little girlie dressed in her best costume for school! My little girlie who is nearly 21 now, packed her own bags for a vacation once when she was about that tall…and all she packed was dress ups and costumes and clean undies! We were on the road for two weeks in Texas. 🙂
Wow,it seems like so many stars shining on the toes,haha,i hope i can try it
