This little lady loves having pretty nails, and she does a great job of being patient and waiting for them to dry…especially for a 3 year old! I thought it would be fun to tie her nails in with what we had been talking about that day…ladybugs.
Easy Ladybug Nails For Little Girls
I pulled out our red and white nail polish and our black nail polish pen. If you don’t have a nail polish pen you can use a Sharpie, but I’d definitely recommend the polish pen! It’s so easy to use and lasts as long as nail polish. Note: If you use a Sharpie pen, be careful when adding a top coat. Sometimes the Sharpie bleeds or gets a little fuzzy.
These little nails were super simple to do. I linked our favorite nail polish brand, Essie in the instructions. I’ve had the best results with this brand for myself and my girls. If you want the nail polish to last even longer you can buff the nails with a nail file, just a bit, before painting.
