What is an appropriate age to paint a toddlers nails? my daughter is turning 2 next month & she always wants me to paint her nails when i'm painting mine, but i don't know if it's safe or the right time.

As : As long as your daughter is old enough to know and understand not to chew her nails thus ingesting the nail polish, then it is safe. From a social/developmental standpoint, this is up to you. Personally i think four is a good age for nail polish, and light pink of course. Take care.
