Me personally, I don't do it, because it is too expensive. I am very frugal. When she can pay for the upkeep herself, then I say…go for it!

And get pretty expensive. I'd say as long as she pays for them - and keeps them a decent length - high school sems to be old enough. They are pain to maintain! And get pretty expensive.

Then she'd have to pay the upkeep, at least.. When I did have them, it was $50 for them being put on, but only $10 for a manicure with a little fill in..And the French look is the ONLY one for young girls, other than light pink.. and they should be the shorter length.. I liked them, but they sure do get in the way! hugs, Jean I agree.. high school.. at least 15 or 16. Then she’d have to pay the upkeep, at least..

When she's old enough to pay for it herself. Aravis occasionally buy the press on ones. They make them much better than they used to and she wore one set for about 4 days before one popped off. I tend to agree with Becca on this one too. I do not do this for myself and can't justify the expense. It's definitely a luxury. I know several women who DO do it, though. But for a girl still living at home, she should at least be high school and old enough to pay for it all herself. I agree with everyone else. When she’s old enough to pay for it herself.

I used to do it but got tired of the upkeep. To me this is a little bit better cause they put it on your real nails, like polish and it just makes them stronger but lets them grow longer, harder to break them. But, that said, S was in high school and was working and paid for them all by herself. All I did was go with her to make sure the place seemed clean and safe.

I think that in this economy, that is just money I am not willing to spend. I am sorry, but you have fingernails, learn to do a manicure for yourself. If she really wants the fake stuff, she should have to pay for it, 100%. I would say high school. Oh heavens am I the only one who doesn’t do that for myself?

Don't ask me why, I don't know. I do have them myself but I think it is a real pain to spend the time every couple of weeks to get them filled. I take them on and off depending on how tired I get of sitting there and dealing with it. Around here the first set would be about $30 and a fill is anywhere from $15-20, so depending on fast your nail grows you are looking at least $40 per month to keep it up. I agree with Shannon, high school seems appropriate, IF she can pay for them herself. I don’t have girls but when I see young girls with fake nails I think that it looks pretentious.
