4 yo DD gel nails

[WilsonWilsonWoman]

AIBU or is this fucking insane?!

Ladies that are all awesome with the nail polish thing! I need help! DD is turning 4 soon and I want to get her a nice gel nail starter set. The one with the U/V lights so they don't chip during normal toddler play. I think it would make her really happy and weekly manicures/pedicures would be something really nice for mommy and baby to do together.

I just spotted this post on another forum I frequent. WTF love?! I kind of know the poster and I'm shocked she is asking this question, I think it is ridiculous, utterly.

There's concern about cancer from the uv lights - seems worse to do it on a tiny tot like that

She's not been back, will update if she does. Hoping she did a 'wtf was I thinking?' after a moment to consider the madness!

Ridiculous. What's she going to be doing at 23? Mommy and teeny Botox?

Some people astound me

Omg can you really get skin cancer from the lights? I never thought about that! What about the led ones?

Yes kali. A study found you would only need to use the lamps 11 times to increase the cancer risk

LED lights are safe supposedly

Any update OP??

I'm just thinking of the damage done to my nails by gel (even when I try and soak them for 5 hours in acetone to soften the gel for removal). A child's nails are so much more delicate than ours.

I didn't know about the UV risk!

She's not been back but others have suggested the led option which I disagree with but whatever. I just think it's crazy and utterly unnecessary no matter what you do, why do you want to mani/pedi a fucking 4 yo? She's in America, when do they start school?
