Woah, it sounds like you’re forgetting whose hands they are! At the end of the day, if your mom doesn’t want to get a flashy manicure, she shouldn’t have to. By all means, get one yourself, but don’t try to make her do the same!
Your mom might just be one of those people who doesn’t like the look or feel of nail polish. Maybe she just worries too much about chipping it – I know I hate having painted nails when I’m working in the stables or riding my pony, so maybe your mom’s the same!
Your best chance of getting your mom to have a manicure is by telling her that you want her to. Just tell her that you think it will look really good, and that she only has to get it done once – after that, you have to promise not to bug her about it anymore! Even if you don’t like her decision, you’ll have to just accept it at this stage. They’re her nails and it’s her choice, so just paint your own nails and stop worrying about it!
