Default Which paints to use to upcycle a chest of drawers?

Looking for some inspiration from upcyclers but what paints do you use for painting furniture and why?

My daughter who is 8 bought this in a charity shop for €10 and she want's to paint it different shades of blue (i.e. the drawers starting with a dark colour and then getting lighter).

We are on a budget had a look at the Annie Sloan paint but it's very expensive. Like the look of the finish of Little Green paints and then was thinking should I just get a bog standard satinwood from dulux in a deep blue and mix with white to get the various shades.

It's her first project and she plans on doing most of the work herself.
