Why would it matter? It's just dressing up. As long as you don't do a full face of makeup and hair as well, like those American toddler beauty queens!

Both DS and DD have had their nails painted from around that age. Have to admit DS (5.10) hasn't wanted his done for a while though

Yes I would let her. Its not the same as letting them wear make up I dont think

I paint DS(2.2)fingers and toes all the time.. he loves it!

I paint toe nails for ds (3.11) every now and then if he asks for it. I don't think it's a big thing, they just want to copy you.

Must admit to being a bit at his swimming lesson though. The young lad putting arm discs on ds looked at me strangely and then at ds's feet. It was at that point I realised his nails were still a lovely shade of bronze.
