[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 2 and I started painting her finger nails clear or a pale pink. I am not doing this because I want her to be girlie, sexualized, or want a little polish buddy. My daughter's thumb nail peel. Not a little peel, layers. We can't figure out why either. This has only been going on for last 3-4 months. I am trying to keep them from peeling so she doesn't end up with damaged nail beds. She eats nutrious food, primarily fresh items, rarely boxed, canned or other processed foods. I feel that if I was able to survive lead paint, riding my bike or skating without the help of charmin or pads and helmets, my daughter will be fine having her nails painted once a week to keep them intact.

You should talk to your doctor.  Nail problems are usually either caused by a nutrition problem or fungal infection.  Painting them may cover up the problem.  If it is nutritional, it may not be her diet but how he body is processing food.  It could be harmless, but doctors want to look at nail problems.
