Glitter Toes – Last Day of School Tradition
I love traditions! So of course I wanted a special tradition to mark the last of school. And since I am the mom of 3 girls(and one son), I came up with a girl tradition about 8 years ago – Glitter Toes. It seemed like the perfect way to celebrate the first day of Summer Break – creating pretty toes!! And pretty much every year since we have celebrated the last day of school with this little tradition. Glitter Toes- Last Day of School Tradition.
I went back to the first Glitter Toes post, way before Pinterest, SEO or anything that bloggers do now. And I saw that my post, while reflecting the spirit of our fun tradition, needed a little updating. So I am documenting our Glitter Toes tradition – in case you want to do it too!! And of course this is a fun craft to do anytime – you don’t need to wait for the last day of school to try it out.
Glitter Toes – Last Day of School Tradition
It’s SUPER simple. All you need are three things – a base color of nail polish, glitter and clear top coat.
Here’s what you do:
- Pick out the color of nail polish you want to use and paint your toes!
- While your toes are wet, pour glitter over the wet polish and let it dry.
- Then put a clear topcoat over the whole thing!
I’ve tried many different glitters over the years and I have discovered that I love either SUPER fine glitter OR very CHUNKY glitter. Here are my favorite brands:
Martha Stewart Super Fine Glitter
Over the years we have also tried nail wraps and some other fun things. We love our last day of school tradition!
Here are a few other summer activities that we love to do:
