Melissa & DougLove Your Look Pretend Nail Care Play Set – 20 Pieces for Mess-Free Play Mani-Pedis (DOES NOT CONTAIN REAL COSMETICS) , Pink

I bought this for my 2.5 year old daughter and it arrived today. I can already tell it’s a 10 out of 10 toy. One thing she loves is painting nails. The problem is, after all our nails are painted she still wants to keep going. The fun ends too quickly. One day she came across an unused paint brush and she pretended to paint my nails over and over for a few days. That’s when I thought this toy might actually go over really well rather than frustrating her due to the lack of paint.Upon opening the delivery box she immediately gasped and wanted to play. She might have been confused or disappointed by the lack of paint for maybe 10 seconds. I started following the activity card and showing her how to use all the accessories. By that point she was hooked! We played nail shop for 45 minutes straight until I had to insist we go pick up her brother from school. She brought a few polish bottles with her for the ride!I like all of the accessories included so she has realistic play. The polish bottles and brushes are slightly oversized and the other accessories are a thick plastic, so everything should be durable in little hands. I love that the clear plastic shelf is functional and that all the accessories (besides the bowl and dryer) store on it, including grooves to hold the color guide and the activity card. I see her looking at the pictures on the activity card and trying to follow along, so I’m glad it has a dedicated spot so we won’t lose it. Neither me nor my daughter are particularly girly, but this is an incredibly adorable play set! The price is decent and with a name like Melissa and Doug backing it, I wouldn’t hesitate to gift it or recommend it to others.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My almost 3 year old loves this set! It’s the only set I found with baby nail cutter as a toy.

One of our most used toys!

Excelente producto!

I bought this as a toy for kids coming to playgroup at my library. I’m a children’s librarian. ALL the kids play with it. And what’s funny is all the kids seem to know how to use the brushes and which makeup goes where. It’s super cute. Melissa and Doug is good quality for the price. Bonus, it’s easy to store!

It’s super cute & creative, my 2 year old daughter is obsessed with it. First thing she wants to do in the morning is play with this & the Melissa & Doug makeup kit.Only downside is it doesn’t come with a storage container for all the pieces, like their makeup kit does. For $25+ you’d think they’d include something to store everything in. So for that I knocked off a star. Other than that no complaints! We had an extra clear bin we bought a while ago from Costco that is now her designated bin for her pretend beauty supplies :)

Melissa and Doug does it again - great kids toy that my daughter has loved playing with since she received it at her first Christmas to now at 3 years old. I love it’s not “real” powders and glosses but it’s colorful and functional enough she gets to pretend play and get ready with me.

My 2 year old loves to watch me do my makeup and wants to participate, but I don't want her making a mess, and play makeup is made from horrible stuff that would never be allowed in actual cosmetics...So I bought these. They look pretty realistic, the powder pans are a soft foam so they even FEEL right.These have brought us hours and hours of fun, with no mess and all imagination. Highly recommend.
