Well I have a 3 and a 4 yr old daughter and they love for me to paint their nails. I use Orly nail polish and put a clear coat of no chip polish on top, but for some reason the nail polish will only stay on for like half a day. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do as far as painting their nails without it coming off in less than a day?? They tend to get so sad when their polish comes off or in their terms "mess up."  :*(

I have the same problem with my three year old. They are just to rough on their nails plus their little nails are so flexible. I got the hello kitty nail stickers from sephora and put then on her nails plus a top coat and they lasted all weekend plus a trip to the beach.

Honestly no. We as adults have this problem, so imagine kids... Always using their little hands and fingers! I suggest using. Polish that VERY sparkly those stay on the longest because the sparkles adhere to the nails much better than any polish! Try OPI collection called designer series

This is going to sound really weird but a friend of mine used dog nail polish on her little one and said it worked great, plus if it got in their mouth it didn't have chemicals in it. again not my experience but it worked for her haha.

I also know they make toddler specific polish not sure of the brand (I have a son) but you could probably Google it.

I buy o.p.I. And it tends to stay on for a week, and toes stays fine for almost two.

As a mom of a 9yr old I can relate. There is a new polish called vinylux by creative, uses no base coat, just 2 coats of polish and the top coat and they state it's a 7 day wear. I did it once already and it worked. We did it again on Sunday and it still looks good. Its a professional line, should be about 10/bottle at retail. But it's working great. Now... If you don't want that line, my secret is Stickey base coat by creative, 2 coats Opi (or any good brand) , and Seche Vite top coat. Dries quick and always get a good week of wear that way too.
Here's a pic of the vinylux though. I think you would be pleased with it for them
