Does a penchant for polish come with an age limit?

Does a penchant for polish come with an age limit?

Is age two (and only just) too young for painted toes? Can you still sport shocking pink nails in your nineties?

I’m not one for passing judgement; similarly I’m not one for encouraging children to act anything other than their age. My general motto is ‘let them be’. But on the weekend my troublesome two-year-old daughter was hanging out for attention so I decided to paint her nails. This decision was predominantly to see if it was, in fact, possible for her to sit still for five minutes! Turns out it was.

As I painted her toes with Rimmel London I Love Lasting Finish Nail Polish I wondered what my husband might say at the sight of his daughter’s touched up tootsies. Would he simply say “nice touch” or perhaps “oh, cute” or might he enquire, “what were you thinking?”

What was I thinking? Will I be taking her to get her ears pierced next weekend? Am I overreacting?

As adorable as she looked proudly skipping around with her painted toe nails, I couldn’t help but feel concern. But maybe my hesitation was more to do with my beauty snobbery: should a child of mine be seen in public sporting chipped polish thou shalt hang my head in shame.(Also the reason I only ever wear clear polish on my keyboard-bashing fingertips!)

At what age would you allow your daughter to wear nail polish? Do you think it matters?
