My 6 year old and I got our nails done today. She got her first manicure and they painted Olaf on her thumb! Some people have expressed that they think she's to young to be getting a manicure. I used the manicure as a bribe to get her to stop biting her nails and if it works...I'm going to keep taking her bi weekly when I go for a fill. I remember my parents not letting me get a manicure until I was in high school. Is it really so strange for a little girl to regularly get manicures?

It's only nail polish, if she likes it I see no problems.
My mom took me a few times when I was younger

No I don't think its strange.
My dd is two and a half and every week we paint her nails something different.
She loves it. We always have her name the color and it helps with identifying them. She shows everyone and has so much fun.
I don't see the issue, if they were getting acrylic nails then ya that's too much, but painted nails? No.

I think my nails look awesome.

If you have money for it who cares? I wouldn't get French tips put on but if it's just a mani then I certainly don't think she's too young.

Nope.

I'm surprised the Olaf looks as good as it does. She has TINY nails. That must have been super difficult, and she kept moving trying to watch him lol

I know I'm awesome all on my own. Thanks though!

My daughter for some reason wanted to be like her dad and bit her finger nails at 4. I talked to her and told her how it was a nasty habit and that her fingers were ugly and when she puts her fingers in her mouth that makes her look ugly. So she stopped but I was very firm when talking to her. She understood and has never done it again. But now she is 7 I do not Polish her nails I only allow it if She is having a girls night with her friends and it can only be on her nails for two days. But that's me. I hope your plan works. Good luck!

All the young girls in my family get there nails done! Don't see a problem with that. It's just like putting nail polish on 3 year old at home.
deleted-user·
Im jealous of your daughters nails. I want an Olaf!

Just make sure they aren't cutting her cuticles only filing her nails and color. I think biweekly for a 6 yr old is a little excessive. But I don't see anything wrong with a special treat
deleted-user·
I think your nails look great!
And I dont see a problem with getting your daughters nails done bi-weekly! Its not like shes 10 months old! And its not like shes getting french manicures or long, fake, red prostitute nails. I think its cute to paint her nails! Nothing wrong with it at all.

I love her Olaf too. It's adorable. They don't charge much for her either. $10 for a manicure and polish. Which seems reasonable to me. It's not like I'm spending $50 on a manicure for her.
squishymommy1·
They didn't do any of the cuticle stuff. Just gave her a little hand/arm massage and polish.

Just FYI I think your nails look great. I love the blue glitter tips and the length.

I think it's awesome! It's great mommy-daughter bonding time. I remember getting manicures with my mom and aunt when I was little. I loved it. Something so simple really taught me to take pride in my appearance.
Can I be your daughter though? I want manicures biweekly! I have no time anymore ?
deleted-user·
Awww! That's awesome. Looks good!

I love your nails, I had got acrylic nails with blue glittered powder tips a few days before I delivered my son. I posted a pic of them for my July group and My 3 year old DD would lovvveee the Olaf nails!
deleted-user·
I think its cute
deleted-user·
Nothing wrong with that! Unless they were long acrylic nails.
I have a bad habit of sucking my fingers and I've tried painting my nails to make it stop... I end up just sucking my fingers with the nail polish on anyways. :(
deleted-user·
Definitely not too young! Both of y'all's nails look fantastic!
deleted-user·
I paint my 2.5 yrs old toes when I do mine so she isnt too young
deleted-user·
I think its a great idea to break the habit as long as its only a mani and u arnt going to get her fake nails, what a lovely little time to spend together too :-)

I'm obsessed with painting my nails. I've been doing it since I was little. I can't afford to get them professionally done every week but I'm so good at it now that people think they are anyway! I've never seen painting nails as a "mature" thing to do. I always thought it was completely normal and I wouldn't think twice if I saw a little girl with painted nails.
deleted-user·
Some think she's too young?? Why? I think it's cute! And a great way to spend time together :)

The main argument against it was because of the chemicals and the particulates from the acrylics being filed. A hair salon *to me* seems way more toxic then a nail salon and the people against it take their daughters there for hair cuts. I don't personally see an issue with it. She didn't have her head bent over my hand when they filing it. In fact she was across the room watching Journey to the center of the earth.

They're so cute! Who cares what people think about the whole situation as long as momma thinks it's ok and daughter is happy! By the way do they allow her to have her nails painted at school? I remember when I was in school they would make you take it off by the next day ?
squishymommy1·
I have no idea. I guess I'll find out tomorrow lol
deleted-user·
Very cute!!
Pp why didn't they allow polish at your old school? I tell the school to suck it if they told me how to raise my daughter that way.
deleted-user·
Its cute! My 2 year old makes me and her daddy paint her fingernails and toenails.
deleted-user·
I don't think so at all I take my nieces all the time and they are 5&7. my best friend takes her 6 year old daughter. I don't think there is a thing wrong with it

@pp: They said something along the lines of nail polish should be for adults only and not children. Meaning that it was too extravagant for little kids. I'm sure and hope that rules have changed by now.

I love your ring!

The fact she stayed still for it is more amazing to me! LOL

Squishy I want to take my daughter this weekend. Do you go to a normal nail salon??
deleted-user·
@mammapope
Just out of curiosity, why such strict rules about nail polish?
squishymommy1·
Yes we went to a normal nail salon. Also they didn't care at school.
deleted-user·
No me and my 4 year old get pedicures together but she doesn't get a manicure she just gets her nails filed and painted :) she loves to get it done but the. Picks it off I also don't stress because the people there like me so she gets done free ?
deleted-user·
My daughter is almost 3 and she had her nails painted neon pink when I had mine done and it literally made her life! For the 2 days it stayed on anyways haha. I think it's adorable. :)
squishymommy1·
Oh she's totally already picked off nearly all the nails except Olaf ???

I tried to use this bribe for my son, it only worked for a couple of days :(
