Nail time with little ones can be equal parts adorable and… well, glitter-filled chaos.
But with a few simple tricks, you can turn it into a moment they look forward to — and you actually enjoy.
Here are our top 5 tips for making polish time smooth, sweet, and sparkle-worthy:
1. Create a “Glam Station”
Set up a mini area just for nail time — it could be a tray, a placemat, or even a shoebox with her favorite supplies. Add stickers, cotton balls, and polish in fun colors.
🎀 Bonus points for naming it something like The Sparkle Spa.
2. Use the Right Tools
Tiny fingers need a little help staying still. That’s why we made the Glammy Nail Shell — it’s shaped perfectly for little hands and helps hold them steady while you paint (or while they paint you!).
✨ No more flopping fingers or polish on the table.
3. Let Them Pick the Colors
Give them two or three to choose from. Letting them feel in charge keeps them engaged and makes it feel more special.
4. Play a “Glam Up” Playlist
Turn on fun music — think Disney princess vibes, upbeat pop, or spa sounds. Music helps keep the mood light and distracts from the urge to wiggle.
5. Take a Glammy Photo After
Snap a picture of their finished nails and let them pose. You can even make a “Nail Gallery” wall or digital scrapbook with all their manicures.
