Now she asks for it but didn't start out that way.

My two year old loves getting her nails and toes painted. We use piggy paint. It comes off quickly, but she doesn't care. birdofafeather on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377709 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 00:24:47 +0000 birdofafeather 2377709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yeah. we've done her toes twices and nails once. she still sucks her fingers, so the finger polish came off by the end of the day! we used piggy paint for that.

I set their little Adirondack chsirs in front of the TV and put on DORA so they have time to dry. I generally only do nails for a holiday - black and orange for Halloween, red and green for Christmas, etc. It's so cute and they like it. littleblessings on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377691 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 00:10:11 +0000 littleblessings 2377691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD had her toes painted at 3 and a half months. I was getting my nails filled and it was almost Christmas. She got her toes professionally painted. I didn't paint her finger nails until she stopped having them in her mouth all the time. I just recently painted DS's nails for the first time. He really wanted it when he saw me paint his sisters. It's just polish.

I rarely paint my nails but I did one day and she asked to have hers painted too. She is 3 so I did them. She also likes to paint DH's toenails pink. She has some Piggie Paints. blackbird on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377430 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:56:27 +0000 blackbird 2377430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E is obsessed with having "purple feet" so if I am painting my toes, I will paint hers, too, if she asks . MsMini on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377426 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:52:46 +0000 MsMini 2377426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS (3) rocked black finger nails for a week or so this fall and is currently sporting blue toenails. Both times he asked. DD (1) hasn't been painted yet but I am SO tempted. MrsStar on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377402 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:31:14 +0000 MrsStar 2377402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope haven't yet. She's 3 and I figured I would do it when she asks for it, which she hasn't yet. sorrycharlie on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377385 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:16:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 2377385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes she loves it! pinkcupcake on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377312 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 17:35:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 2377312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, I've been painting her fingernails and toenails since she was two :) we started off with piggie paint but it comes off too quickly so now I just use regular Essie polish. MoonMoon on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377310 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 17:32:57 +0000 MoonMoon 2377310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, he always asks when he sees me painting mine, or when we pass by nail polish at the store. I hate the idea of toxic stuff on kid nails, so far he's been happy with just one or two thumbs. autumnlove on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377305 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 17:22:38 +0000 autumnlove 2377305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thry asked and I painted their toes. They sat on the couch while I painted. oliviaoblivia on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377299 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 17:11:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2377299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She asked fairly often so I made it a reward for potty training. She was 2.5. She has them painted again right now because my sister was visiting and painted her nails in sight.

I have no clue why--out of boredom maybe? For a while after, LO asked all the time to have her toenails painted, but eventually she forgot. I don't care, but I sure don't have time for that stuff. I don't even have time to do my own! DillonLion on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377207 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:03:28 +0000 DillonLion 2377207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO asked. I usually just do one thin layer. Fingers and toes unless there isn't time or something :) Mamaof2 on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377192 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:56:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2377192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes - I always paint mine and one day she asked so I did - she loves having them painted! I have done her toes too! catomd00 on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377180 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:48:13 +0000 catomd00 2377180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She's not even 2 so definitely not! daniellemybelle on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377177 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:47:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 2377177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've haven't tried yet because I figured there was no way she would sit still but I want to get some Piggy Paint to put in her advent calendar and give it a go soon.

He has had pink, purple and blue nails. avivoca on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377091 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:02:49 +0000 avivoca 2377091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I painted her toenails pink this fall when she had lice. I figured that if the poor girl had to sit through several sessions with the lice comb, she might as well get a spa day out of it (coconut lice mask, a bath, and pink nails). I used Zoya nail polish that I already had. It is pretty safe. mrsjazz on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377086 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:00:52 +0000 mrsjazz 2377086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO asked. I don't regularly paint my nails but she's seen friends and family members with painted nails. I do her toes with regular polish and her hands with a non toxic organic kiddie polish. Smurfette on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377082 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:59:33 +0000 Smurfette 2377082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @AB810: yes! It is so adorable. Especially cause she likes him to do it before me.

AB810 on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377077 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:56:46 +0000 AB810 2377077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Smurfette: that sounds adorable, I hope you have pictures! totally a keepsake there. I just painted LO's nails for the first time last week. She's 28 months. She has been asking since becoming obsessed with my friend's bright pink nails, so I took her to pick out a color and painted hers. Just fingers! yoursilverlining on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377076 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:56:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 2377076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO asks me to paint her nails, so I do. Usually she asks me when/if she sees me painting mine, sometimes she asks me out of the blue. I've done both her toes and fingers - I put on a show and tell her she has to sit still for the entire thing for them to dry, and she does! Strong will when it comes to having what she wants - "pretty nails!" Smurfette on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377073 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:55:01 +0000 Smurfette 2377073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH paints her toes regularly. She sits in her chair and props her feet on a stool. She just sits there while he does it. Then she usually watches a show while they dry. chopsuey on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377072 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:54:56 +0000 chopsuey 2377072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've done nails and toes. She started asking a while ago. We started off with piggie paint, did some jamberry wraps and I recently purchased a set of Ella+mila. I've also used my nailpolish on her. Can't remember the brand right now :) mediagirl on "Have you painted your child's nails?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-painted-your-childs-nails#post-2377066 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:53:00 +0000 mediagirl 2377066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ M hasn't had her nails painted yet. I'm curious to see what made you want to paint your kid's nails. Did they ask to have them painted? Did you paint them because (s)he was sitting there while you were doing it? Which nails did you paint, if you did paint their nails? Toes or fingers?
