+1, lots of little girls and boys like to get their nails painted. It's fun and bright. It's only sexualized or politicized if you make it that way.

You could also hire Vienna Singing Princesses to come do a spa party at your home. Not sure their Covid protocols.

I had an 8 yr old spa party at my house and it was great. Outside, spaced out, hired a team to do it. It was only mani-pedis.

It was a team from around NoVa or MoCO.

This is so gross. The message you’ve sent your kid is that the media is right: It’s all about how she looks. That’s all that matters for girls and women. At age 6, you should be making yourself look better with make-up and get approval from others by simply strutting around.


+1 but i'd add the nail polish.

And don't get me started on piercing girls' ears when they are babies... YUCK.


For us, it is cultural.

OP, just do it at home, as others have suggested. Kids can have a great time with it. If you feel compelled, get a couple of teenagers to paint nails.


Dp. Where on earth do you find teenagrrs?

This. And you'll feel better about it rather than having some unpaid/underpaid, possibly trafficked immigrant scrubbing your kids feet.
