I've heard a lot about how you should and should not paint your nails over the years. Paint everything the same color. Repaint with every outfit. Repaint only when chipped. Paint with colors that flatter your skin color. The list of advice goes on and one. To be honest, I haven't even attempted this mysterious form of girl entertainment in a very long time. But today? Today I found the perfect way to paint your nails: have an eleven year old paint them for you. With every brushstroke, she glanced up for a reassuring smile or nod of encouragement that said, "Yes, you're doing it right! Just keep going." It may have taken longer than a professional, and they may not look quite as nice. But even though one hand is bright red and the other is bright green (I'm all ready for Christmas!), I've never seen a more beautiful thing. Beauty has nothing to do with what shade your skin is or what color your nails are. Beauty is about the journey and the love that comes along the way.
