Originally published on social media: May 10, 2022. This article looks back at one of our daddy-daughter moments.
Some of the best memories with your kids come from the simplest things. Sometimes that means playing games, building LEGO sets, or going on adventures. Other times, it means sitting down and letting your daughter paint your nails.
And yes, being a girl dad means occasionally walking around with a pretty colorful manicure!
Looking back at this video from May 2022 reminds me how much fun those little moments can be.
A Little Daddy-Daughter Nail Polish Fun
When you’re a dad, you never really know what your daughter is going to ask you to do next. But one thing I’ve learned is that sometimes the best answer is simply, “Sure, why not?”
Painting nails might not be something I’d normally choose to do on my own, but spending time with my daughter makes it worth it.
It’s not about having perfectly painted nails. It’s about laughing together, having fun, and making memories that we’ll hopefully look back on for years.
This was one of those moments worth capturing on video, and I’m glad we did.

If you’ve ever wondered what being a girl dad looks like, this is definitely part of it!
Why These Little Moments Matter
As parents, it’s easy to think that making memories requires big trips, expensive toys, or elaborate activities.
But sometimes all it takes is a little nail polish and a willingness to participate in whatever your child is excited about.
I love gaming, technology, and trying out new gadgets, but being a dad is a huge part of my life too. These are the experiences that remind me there’s more to life than whatever new product just came out.
And if painting my nails makes my daughter happy, I’m all for it.
Being a Girl Dad Is About Showing Up
One thing I appreciate about looking back at older videos is seeing how quickly time passes.
Something that felt like a small, funny moment in 2022 becomes a memory you appreciate even more a few years later.
Being a girl dad isn’t about knowing everything your daughter enjoys or being particularly good at every activity. Sometimes it’s just about being willing to participate.
If that means letting her paint your nails, then so be it.
The finished manicure isn’t really the important part. It’s the time spent together.
Here’s to More Girl Dad Adventures
I’m sure this won’t be the last time I find myself participating in one of my daughter’s creative ideas.
Whether we’re painting nails, testing toys, or trying something completely new, I’m always up for another daddy-daughter adventure.
Because at the end of the day, the nail polish eventually comes off, but the memories stick around.
And looking back at this one from May 10, 2022, I’m glad we captured it.
