A few days ago I was sent some Makeup by One Direction samples to review from BrandBacker (This post is powered by BrandBacker). Unfortunately, before I could even open the boxes, they were confiscated by my little girl. After some begging and pleading on my part, she decided she would 'allow' me to take some photos of her using the products to give herself a mani.
She really loves the polish because the lid is large enough for her to get a good grip on, and the brush is the perfect size for tiny fingers and fingernails. This is probably the first time she's managed a solo-mani without getting polish all over herself and my nice towels.
Next came the glitter in "Kicks", which is described on the box as a "snow cone blue".
I noticed a few things about the 1D polish while she was doing her nails that I really liked. The color is buildable, which makes it age appropriate for young kids (like the little 7-year-old in these photos) AND their moms (the neon pink is coming with me on my next beach vaca). All the DD needed was one layer of polish and glitter for her sweet pink mani, while I would probably use about 2-3 for a seriously fun pedi.
The nail polish and glitter are also supposed to be UV-reactive, which may get tested the next time we go Cosmic Bowling.
The newest collection should be in stores already, so after seeing how much the kiddo enjoyed this set, I'm thinking I need to head over to Walmart before the holidays to pick up some stocking stuffers. She would probably get a kick out of their hair mascara and go nuts over their full beauty tins. If only she could decide which member of 1D is her fave, it would make my shopping much simpler. Obviously each member has his own 'collection'.

How cute! I love that your daughter modeled for you... I think these are aimed for the younger crowd (what do I know... I'm not a big 1D fan and I'm sure there are moms in their 30s who have crushes on the guys haha) so she's the perfect person to test them out!! ;)

I completely agree. I never would have used it on my own, but the makeup is great for mommy and me makeover night, and for young kids who are makeup curious.
