I don't do it often. Although she asked this morning when I would paint her toes again. Momma needs a pedi first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2695223 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:55:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2695223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: haha monkey see monkey do!

My oldest never wants me to clip her toenails but will let me paint them all day long. So usually, if she wants them painted, I make her let me cut them first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2695119 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 20:41:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2695119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3, maybe? I only do her toes and she hasn't complained that I don't do her fingers- prob because I never do my own fingers. I'm always surprised how still she will stay! Also she can be really difficult to clip her toenails but if I'm giving her a pedicure she will let me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2695105 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 20:30:36 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2695105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just last week. She turned 3 in November. I don't paint my nails often, but I did on a whim and a few days later, LO1 saw my nail polish and asked me to paint hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2695064 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 20:03:16 +0000 SweetCaroline 2695064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I painted DD's toes for the first time when she was around 18 months? I painted her nails for the first time around 22 months--only because I left the nail polish out, she found it and I wanted to avoid a meltdown... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2695054 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:57:58 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2695054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been taking DD when I've gone to get pedi's with my mom and sister since she was 18 months or so. She didn't get her toes painted until she was 2-2.5 and she LOVES it. She holds very still and lets the ladies paint her toes. We've never done fingers for the reason that she puts her fingers in her mouth still. We will probably do fingers when she's 4 or 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dd-first-ask-to-have-her-nails-painted#post-2694893 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:00:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2694893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1: the night before her second birthday. It felt so special to have her ask and then to get to paint them pink and sparkly for her party. </p> <p>DD2: 21 months. She heard DD1 ask so she naturally wanted to do it too. She did put a wet fingernail in her mouth and I had to repaint it twice (don't worry, we were using safe(r) Piggy Paint!) but otherwise she did pretty well with it! </p> <p>Have you painted your DD's nails? </p>
