[quote=Anonymous]Just found this forum on nail polish for kids (I'm searching for non-toxic safe nail peelable polish for a girls' pajama sleepover party).  I don't know that having cute pink nail polish is creepy on little girls.  I remember quite fondly wearing glittery pink nail polish when I was a little girl, when it actually stayed on between playing outside, swimming, digging my hands into dirt/sand/snow, or drawing - which means that the polish lasted all of, oh, maybe half a day.  It was just plain fun and made my nails feel dressed-up - to match the hair accoutrement, frills on my dresses, or the shiny-ness of my shoes.

That said, I asked my manicurist about painting my then-2-year-old daughter's nails, she gave me an absolute no - not from a morality standpoint, but from a chemical standpoint.  She recommended that the earliest age when kids wear nail polish be 6 - when their bodies are bigger, and the chemicals they get exposed to are not as concentrated as when they're so little.  She also noted that nail polish can weaken their nails.[/quote]
