A Creative Conversation with My Granddaughter Jania
Artistically delicate & sober Nail design synchs with Jania personality.
Today, I sat down with my granddaughter Jania, who was eagerly showing me her new passion — nail art. What started as a simple question from me turned into a heart-warming conversation, one that revealed her creativity, patience, and skill.
Jania explained her process with great detail and pride:
She told me that she begins with nail extension tips. She carefully shapes them to her liking, then buffs the surface so the polish will stick properly. Once that’s done, she applies nail polish and takes a fine brush to create delicate designs. Only after the artwork is complete does she glue the tips onto her nails.
I asked her how long it usually takes. With an honest smile, she said, “This one would take me two, two and a half, maybe three hours in total. It would be even longer if I did the art after sticking it onto my nails, because then I’d have to concentrate more on my finger.”
Curious, I asked, “Do you do this in your leisure time? Is this your hobby?”
Her eyes lit up as she replied, “Yeah.”
At that moment, I felt an immense sense of pride. I told her, “Very good. I am very proud of you. This shows that you are not only an artist, but also that your hand and finger movements are excellent — skills that will help you in whatever career you choose in the future.”
She thanked me softly, and I blessed her with a heartfelt wish: “You have good luck, and may you always have a nice time with whatever you pursue.”
We ended with a cheerful “Bye,” both smiling — her with the joy of being appreciated, and me with the pride of seeing her talents blossom.
This simple exchange reminded me how hobbies can bring out hidden strengths in children. For Jania, nail art isn’t just about beauty; it’s about patience, precision, and creativity. And for me, it was yet another moment to encourage and nurture her growing talents.
