Is there any kind of nail polish that is safe for babies?

I have a 6 month old baby girl and I was curious if there are any natural nail polishes that are safe that I can use on her nails. There are a couple of reasons I am asking. 1, yes it would be fun, she is my first girl. 2, she has hardly any hair and people always ask me if she is a boy or assume she is a boy since I have all boys. 3, I would like to paint my fingernails as well, but she does bite on my fingers since she is teething and I wouldn't want to have nail polish on my fingernails that would be harmful to her. I know that regular nail polish is not safe, especially since she is constantly putting her fingers in her mouth and she does suck her thumb. But I am wondering is there a such thing as a safe natural nail polish for a baby?

Is there any kind of nail polish that is safe for babies?
if you're up for it, pierce her ears! my mom had mine pierced when i was 2 months old...and i was a bald baby! nonetheless, you could look into henna (no, i'm not a hippie, but it's all natural and it's more of a dye than paint)... anyhow, frilly dresses, sparkly headbands, cute tights and adorable shoes are always a plus for baby girls!
Reply:No there is not.... and painting a babies nails is just wrong on so many levels.... Don't you realize that whatever you put on her nails will be absorbed into her body through the nails?





Try sticking a bow on her head. If she doesn't have any hair, KY jelly works good to keep it stuck on there. Don't worry, people always mistake babies genders. It's nothing personal. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it just isn't right to paint her nails. I understand that it's exciting to have a baby girl and dress her up and stuff... but painting her nails is going a little beyond that.
Reply:Get the polish made for dogs nails. I know it may sound weird but they are much safer and can be used on little babies.
Reply:Hi,


I had the same feelings with my daughter who is two now, it was quiet annoying some times when people ask whether she was a boy even when her ears were pierced! Its better not to use nail polish on her finger nails since it can harm her tender nails and cuticles but you can use henna which is safe and which we use here in south Asia for almost any beauty or medical needs. Let me know if you need to know any thing about Henna.
Reply:People are going to get your child's gender incorrect no matter what you do. Don't do anything just because you want people to see them as the correct gender. Trust me, it won't matter, and people will still get it wrong. Your baby certainly doesn't care!





I remember standing in church with my daughter, she was about four months old. She was absolutely dripping with pink satin, tulle, and sequins, complete with a pink ribbon on her head and little pink satin shoes.





A little old lady came up, grabbed her hand and said "Awww, isn't he cute!"





I wouldn't put fingernail polish on a baby, though. They're so small, and those hands spend a lot of time in their mouths, so they're likely to eat the polish off. Eating nail polish isn't good for anyone. There's plenty of time for nail polish, trust me.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with it, I painted my daughter's toenails, I never did her nails, because I didn't want her to stick them in her mouth. But I did her toenails, and people always noticed and thought it was cute! And as far as how you would get it off? Her nails are tiny..it'd wear off in a couple weeks!
Reply:Wow.. some people on here. It's their way or the highway huh?! LOL!! Well no nail polish is totally safe, but this kind is the best if you choose to paint her nails.

It's all natural. ♥
Reply:LMAO people on this site kill me...waaaaay too uptight. there is nothing wrong with painting a babies nails if you find some nail polish that is safe. its pretty much the same as ear piercing.
Reply:Fingernail polish contains LEAD. If you put it on her fingers, it will find its way into her mouth. Lead-based poisoning is VERY serious and not something I would risk for my child. Her toenails are less likely to find their way into her mouth.
