Or do you have the easiest newborn ever?!</p> <p>I soooo was not painting nails at that age. Even at naptime she would wake up if I had tried that! Heck she would wake up if the swing stopped! At 3 months I could barely get her handprint for Xmas ornaments. I'm totally jealous and hoping for that kind of baby with #2, lol!</p> <p>Relevant to the topic, I had no idea this kind of polish existed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1594236 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:21:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 1594236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: me neither.

I use mostly 5-free polishes but still...just couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1589746 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:30:12 +0000 deactivated_account 1589746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so cute!

It washes off after a few times, being water based, but it's still fun.</p> <p><a href="http://amzn.com/B00B7V4LQ0" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B00B7V4LQ0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1589155 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:16:24 +0000 anonysquire 1589155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Hold her hand for about 5 minutes and it is good.</p> <p>And I use Zoya paint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588164 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:32:11 +0000 Cherrybee 1588164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even clip DD's nails never mind paint them!!

Most big brands like OPI, China Glaze, and Zoya are 3-free (free of Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde). Most indie brands are also usually 3-free but check with the seller to make sure (indie brands are polishes on etsy).</p> <p>Zoya is my favorite because it's actually 5-free (free of Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, and Camphor). </p> <p>Some 3-free brands:<br /> Butter London<br /> Essie<br /> Estee Lauder<br /> Lancome<br /> MAC<br /> Nicole by OPI<br /> OPI<br /> Wet n Wild</p> <p>Some 5-free brands:<br /> Zoya Nubar<br /> L'Oreal<br /> Dior<br /> Chanel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588064 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:01:31 +0000 looch 1588064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you get it to dry without smudging?!?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588058 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:58:09 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1588058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm likely never going to have a girl but i agree i would probably wait until they're older and dont put their fingers in their mouths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588049 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:53:21 +0000 lawbee11 1588049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's hands are always in her mouth so it'll be awhile before I'm comfortable painting her nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588046 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:51:35 +0000 Smurfette 1588046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't paint R's nails till she is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588041 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:49:25 +0000 edelweiss 1588041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is pretty amazing, and so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588040 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:49:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1588040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I have Piggy Paint and it came with remover - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1588038 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:46:34 +0000 BeatlesFan629 1588038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute! this reminds me - I should do LO's nails for my brother's wedding this summer.<br /> I agree with PP - please let us know what brands you use.

Like the tip was smaller than a toothpick. But now I just use the brush in the bottle and wipe it off really well. It's hard but so fun :) Oh and I wait til shes asleep to do it. But sometimes she jerks in her sleep and we get to start over haha. </p> <p>Not sure if you can see in this pic but she has tiny little blue dots on her white nails. Now that was hard! </p> [attach=1857/14/n4j6pl.600x600.1509827_10154048765230273_2155954573152236660_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1587863 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:23:11 +0000 Bao 1587863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: how do you do it?! I can't even paint A's toes without them looking like a disaster. Well I suppose part of it is because she moves her toes all over so the polish ends up everywhere lol. I won't attempt finger nails on either girl for a little while for that reason ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1587860 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:19:39 +0000 anonysquire 1587860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If by special you mean free of toluene, DBP, formaldehyde and carcinogens, then yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1587857 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:16:18 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1587857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: was just thinking the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1587853 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:07:28 +0000 Kemma 1587853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use special polish and remover on your wee poppet? I just couldn't imagine that the chemicals in nail polish and remover would be good for a baby :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slacking#post-1587852 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:05:11 +0000 anonysquire 1587852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only painted my nails once since Zuma has been born. ONCE in 7 weeks. Are you kidding me? Considering I got my nail tech license while I was pregnant, this is so unlike me. Atleast she hasn't been missing out. She gets a mani weekly.</p> <p>Oh how I love having a girl :) Anyone else want to share a pic of their daughters nails? Or their own?</p> <p>And about the fact that Zuma might or might not have had painted nails at 12 hrs old... she went to a wedding, she needed nice nails! </p> [attach=1857/14/n4j5cn.600x600.10150563_10153978657265273_1122469757_n.jpg]
