Would you paint a 4yo nails?

[OhisHOME]

Going to a wedding tomorrow and I can't decide. I only have teal nail varnish so not subtle

If they wanted me to. I painted them at 1+

Only paint, you aren't offering meth

I wouldn't. Not in teal. I'd do a nice soft colour :)

why can't you decide?

I paint my 3 year olds toe nails occasionally as she loves it and it's pretty harmless in the grand scheme. I would let her have nail varnish on her fingers for a special occasion but it would come off the next day as imo its not appropriate for day to day wear for a little one.

5 year old walking around the house with Rainbow nails. Right thumb is not painted as she sucks it at night and doesn't like the taste

Not for an event. For a random Tuesday afternoon in cheapy peely children's varnish, probably

Only if it went with their outfit. I only have boys but have painted their nails when they've asked. A few years back we went to my cousins wedding, big posh do in a fancy church. Looked down at DS1 (who was wearing open-toed sandal shoes at it was summer) and he lad lovely bright red toenails from a few days previous I'd forgotten (DH had to dress him as I was a bridesmaid). DS1 was chuffed to bits with his pedicure and spent the day showing it off to the vicar and his wife.

Sally forth and paint the children. Nails and all.

Yes. DD (4) loves to have painted nails or nail stickers. No harm in it.

Yes I would. It's a bit of fun.

Yes but I tend to stick to silver or the like for dd1's nails. Don't know why, just looks more suitable for children in my weird little head!

if they asked i would, and have. DS2 esp loved to have his toenails painted.

tried to do it himself once, managed to get the lid undone, and daubed polish all down himself. Really gave dh a turn as it was red, he thought small boy had sliced an artery.

yes if they wanted it.

Yes but maybe not in teal.

I do 4 year old (thumb sucking) DD's all the time, in any colours she wants.

WTF is wrong with teal?!

I just can't decide I've done her toes when I do mine but it just seems to much

Yes, if she asked. I wouldn't suggest it. I would be inclined to steer clear of adult colours and stick to childish blues, yellows, greens, purples. Nothing glamorous or sexual.

I need to go shopping in the morning abywAy so I've managed to keep her happy with the promise that I'll buy her her own colour then

Yes, but only at her request, I wouldn't suggest it, which means probably not for a specific event.

I've never painted my 4YO DD's nails, but she's had two au pairs that paint her nails, usually lots of bright colours and patterns all at once, which is pretty harmless.

I would (and do, in whatever colour DD fancies)

She's currently sporting a different colour on each nail

Yep preferably glittery and sparkly. Don't think I'd go teal

If they want it

I've just painted my 4yo's nails at his request, in a nice mauve colour!

I only do DD's in the peel off stuff as I don't like to use remover on them.

She's had her toe nails painted pretty much permanently for the last year.

Adult and sexual nail varnish colours?! Ha! Only on mumsnet
