I think I would do it now... They sell Piggy paint which the doc says is ok since its all natural and water based.... I def. wanted to wait until she was over a year for sure.
She's 15 months. I already tried doing her toenails but I only got 3 done before she freaked out. Now I feel bad because I used regular nailpolish and I'm thinking I probably should have used something more kid friendly.
I won't do her fingernails until she's at least 3. She has her hands in her mouth all the time.

I did DD1s toes for the first time when she was 2 - I didn't do fingers until she was 3 because she put her hands in her mouth a lot. I've already done DD2s toes, but I won't do her fingers until she stops putting her hand in her mouth so much.
I painted DD's toes around 6 months for a trip out west. A few months ago she started asking to get her nails painted and pointing to mine saying "pretty." I do hers now from time to time. If I'm doing mine she'll want hers done. She sits still, she loves showing them off afterwards and they look adorable. I wouldn't force her to sit to get them done but since she likes it I plan to continue as she asks.

Re: Painting nails
DH said not until she's three.
DD points out my painted toenails all the time and has asked for hers done a couple of times, but DH says no way.

Her teenage babysitter did her toes at like 11 months the first time. I thought she was a bit young but she was having fun so whatever.
She's now a bit shy of 2 and I've done her toes twice a few times off and on since then. She thinks it's great and it's great and asks to do it.
She'll be school age before I think about finger nails though.
