Today, my (Nik's) momma-friend, Marybeth, came over for a weekly-ish play date. Two mommies, a 3 year-old, two 2 year-olds, two 1 year-olds, and an 8 month old all decided to enjoy the fresh air and play in the back yard.
While the kids played nicely, Mb and I thought we should take advantage and paint our toenails.
Polishes used:
We were both feeling a little lazy so we opted to just paint over what we already had on our toes. Mb used Zoya- Nicole (win!) while I chose LynBDesigns - Sweet Nothing. But then, Spencer chose LynBDesigns - Set Fire to the Rain and Wet N Wild - On a Trip. Why not go big, right? Toe nails are an excellent canvas for creativity.
Zoya-Nicole is a metallic coral color with a little of a marigold shimmer. It's definitely a 2 to 3 coat polish if you don't have a base coat.
I reviewed the LynBDesigns polishes last week, and love them. They're totally bright and have smooth application and great coverage. The Wet N Wild is older, but I love it. It dries super quick and shiny. It's a gorgeous purple.
Today's process was simple:
We attempted to be secretive about our application, but less than a minute in, our very willing toddler boys decided it was imperative they assist. Who needs fancy salons when you can get quality service in your own backyard?
They did a fabulous job, no?
Complete with tiny bits of grass and dirt, because, well, textured polish is so in this year.
And, I got a lucky-mama bonus:
Under-the-toe and flip-flop service included!
Even Collin is fond of the job.
Not gonna lie, the most fun pedicures we've ever had.
True that! What an experience! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. I used to get similar manicures when I nannied. I like the texture. Also, there is also a hint of the marbled look, without the water application. Clever boys.
