Is it safe to paint your nails when you have a baby?

[HerMomma]

I have a two month old and sometimes she sucks on my fingers. Would it be safe to paint my nails?

Unless she actually chips a bit off and swallow it, nail polish is not going to dissolve.

I would imagine safe, but can't see them looking nice for very long with a two month old!

Yes of course. I've done it anyway. The trouble for me comes in managing to have them done and then not pick up or change a nappy for an hour or so after so it doesn't smudge. I've ruined a few manicures that way :(

As a parent yes of course, however my nursery nurses are not allowed to wear it as it can harber bacteria if chipped.
