The high-fashion streets and waterways of Paris are only a screw-top away with Nailmatic, the French génies behind fast, fun and stain-free makeup for girls.
Featuring an array of lip gloss and nail polishes, they’re a Cuckooland staple for letting daughters test out adulthood without making a beeline for mum’s dressing table… First off, and most crucially, Nailmatic only deal in water-based products, as washable as a splash of orange squash on a girl’s cuticles. They know that a lot of parents want their kids to experiment, yet can’t help but worry that a Little Miss is growing up too quickly – everything should come in its own time, right? A Nailmatic set thus gently introduces growing divas to their future beauty regime. It’s a great gift for girls who are keen to emulate their older sister or mother.
The brand’s glittering colours appeal to the wild child in all of us, even if the lass in question is a year or two into her prime ‘cool’ phase! Teenagers can be incredibly picky about what they permit themselves to like, but we’re positive that Nailmatic’s flavoured lip and nail apparel will lead the charge or can sway them round in seconds. Apple, pineapple and strawberry are just some of the tastes she’ll be licking at the edge of her smile, whilst sparkling toenail polish will turn sandal-wearing days on the town into a moveable feast of fashion. Buying for teenagers has a new lick of paint, we dare say! The joys don’t grind to a halt after your daughter’s glammed up to the max, however. She’ll have a blast colouring in the Nailmatic packaging, and varnishing her friends up when there’s a fancy dress party to jump into. As such, we think any of these items will fit nicely into her craft kit assortment, providing hands-on creativity for those days spent indoors with her pals.
Crack open the Ribena, stick a cocktail umbrella in it, and play ‘grown-up’ with your precious girl or teenager. Soon enough she’ll be borrowing your heels, so let's treasure every moment of these precious times together!
