The girls love, love, love to have their toe nails polished. One of our neighbors likes to paint their toe nails different colors and designs. She does a great job of it.
The girls decided they wanted to try to paint their own toe nails. I agreed if they would stick to one color per toe and put a towel under their feet while they worked. They happily agreed.
The end result is clearly a beginner's effort. There is toe nail polish all over their feet. Some did make it on their toe nails -- just as much made it on their toes, feet, hands, etc. It was quite a mess.
They didn't care that they were a mess. They were very proud of their work. We'll clean-up the mess and declare their first effort a success. Next time I might have to provide a little more supervision just to reduce the clean-up stage.
