I got sick of naked barbies. And I saw somewhere online (it was awhile ago, and I don’t remember now) that this Mom had sharpied one piece swim suits on her daughters barbies. GENIUS! So I grabbed Kaylee’s 3 (at the time) barbies and went to town. She LOVED that they were always ready to swim.

Well there was a downside. The poor barbies ended up looking like they were victims of abuse. Look at the Green, Purple, and Jasmine dolls. The sharpie would SLOWLY rub off and give them “bruises”, and it would also wear off in . . . places . . . I was “fixing” suits more often than I’d like to.

So Yesterday Kaylee (She had fun telling me which color went to which doll.) and I pulled out the trusty stash of nail polish. I’ve been nail polishing more than just nails lately and LOVING it. Knobs, wall art, barbies….

I like that there are more colors, and that they are no longer naked. I am hoping that this solution lasts longer than the sharpie solution. It helps in teaching Kaylee about modesty when her barbies that she loves to play with are being modest too.
