Beauty Tips for Women: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Birthday Manicure

On November 18th was Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s Birthday. To celebrate their birthdays my daughters preschool was having a party.  She asked me to do her nails for the occasion.

I started off with a coat of Essie Catwalk and made white polka dots using a dotting tool.  Using the smallest dotting tool I made a black bow on her ring finger and added a little rhinestone in red for a touch of bling.
