When did you start painting there finger nails and/or toenails? What age?
I started painting my daughter's around age 2 when she could sit still, she is now almost 3 and ask me to paint them, she loves it!!
I've never done that.. at least not yet. I have a 3 yr old and a 10 month old :)
I started painting them when she was three and that's only because that's when she first asked if I would.
Otherwise I haven't painted my one year olds yet.









i haven't done it yet... she's too squirmy yet, and she puts her hands in her mouth a lot, so i don't think it would be wise on my part just now!! :o)
I started at about 18 months but she didn't sit still really well. Now though she will sit through it and when she is done she walks with her toes and fingers in the air all prissy like it is so cute lol.
I put clear polish on my oldest at about 2 1/2 when she wanted it. She saw all the other pageant girls do it so she wanted color but settled for clear. My youngest she was about 18 mos she wanted what sissy had. They don't get it often now but every once in awhile daddy will do it then they do his....LOL...he even leaves it on when they get done. His toenails have been red for like a month...LOL...

My oldest turns 3 on sunday, and we just started a couple of months ago painting her toenails. I have to make sure to buy the instant dry nail polish though because she won't sit still long enough for the regular stuff to dry. (she also really likes when her toes and mommy's toes match. LOL)
