No tips I am in the same boat as you. My tips are super thick. I would prefer they not be but as you mentioned you have to get a huge glob out to get the hearts. Maybe get a big glob, take the hearts out with something pointy and collect them. Then as you're painting you can place them by hand?
Maybe... I thought about dumping some out on wax paper or something, and using an orange stick to apply them. Maybe next time. I am glad me both have thick tips, lol.

Normally I do mine by hand too. And I did this by hand. But the problem was the hearts in the glitter polish. To get the hearts to come out, I had to use a big drop of polish, and then try to spread the hearts around before it dried too much... So the tips are way thicker than I normally would ever like them. I also wanted the hearts on an angle sort of, going across the bottom third of my nail if that makes sense. I blame the polish, lol. It is so cute but not the easiest way. Just little hearts and some nail glue would have been much easier!
I find fishing the glitter out of the nail polish bottle with a toothpick works well, so you don't have to use a big glop of polish all over the nail. It's a very cute manicure and you have nice nails.
No, but I imagine that is how it felt. Somehow I didn't see your picture, (I went back and looked to see what I missed after you posted this), but now that I have I wanted to say it is adorable, your daughter did a great job!
Hadley the cupcakes are great too! Now I am craving Magnolia's......
