LOVE all these ideas...as always. :) BTW... are you still buying them the non-toxic nail polish you talked about in years passed? (I can't think of the name), but I'd be interested in that, as my daughter is getting more interested in nails. I'm not ready for her to try the KISS glue ons yet, she's still a little rough on her nails, but I hate the chemical smell of mainstream nail polish... :( Do you have a link to the polish you use?

Just don’t get the skinny chao ones like I think your husbands work got her a few years ago (if I remember right) those don’t refill. Copic sketch has a brush and chisel bib and I think 1 refill is 15 markers worth of that color.
