[quote=Anonymous]I have a 13 year old who loves gel nails.  I hate them more than most.  They aren't attractive.  They are expensive.  And they are unsanitary.  My 13 year old knows how much I hate them.  She spends hours trying to convince me that I am wrong and that she will be the single only person on this earth that keeps them sanitary.  There are no words to say how much I dislike them and it is absolutely clear to me that my daughter knows that I don't approve.

That being said, if I let her go to a sleep over and the host did gel manicures, I wouldn't be mad.  What a great treat for my daughter.  They are not illegal.  They are not immoral.  I did not have to pay for them.  They will grow out their course normally and she will have to deal with the discomfort if there is any.  She will enjoy them for a few weeks and will really appreciate the experience.

Thing is this.  The only way I can control stuff like this is if I deprive my daughter of sleepovers and activities with friends.  I am not willing to do this and I am not willing to nitpick - I will save my disapproval for alcohol parties, pornography and the like.
