Don't judge mom harshly
Is a manicure really necessary for children of preschool and school age? This is a secondary question. But whether it can be done in principle is the most important thing.
Despite everything, it turns out that it really can be done, and there are special varnishes for children's manicure for this purpose.
Of course, at first glance the phrase itself sounds crazy, but it is true, apparently while we were busy with our own affairs, the nail aesthetics industry has stepped far forward.
Young beauties who want to look even better try to take care of their appearance from an early age.
When it comes to nails and the procedure for bringing them into the proper “adult” appearance, there are some rules to follow.
In addition, even simply cutting the nails can cause harm to the nail plate, since its excessive tenderness is not yet able to adapt to mechanical influences.
If the nail is damaged, then in adult life it will grow uneven and ugly.
Gel polish
Gel polish is the most popular coating among women. His beauty and durability attract the attention of teenagers. From the age of 11 to 12, after watching beautiful photos of gel polish on their nails, children wonder when they will be allowed to have it done?
The opinion of experts on this matter is clear. Children can paint their nails with gel polish no earlier than 16 years of age, when puberty ends, hormonal levels stabilize, and the nail plate is finally formed.
The danger of gel polish is that its components partially change the structure of a child’s delicate nail plate. This is fraught with cracking, deformation, and detachment. It can also cause allergic reactions.
To convince her daughter about gel polish, her mother needs to tell her about its shortcomings and possible complications. As an argument, say that children's nails grow faster than adults'. This means that the effect will not be so long-lasting. In terms of time, it will be comparable to three paintings with high-quality varnish. And it will be three manicures with different designs, colors, and not the same one for three weeks. In addition, the lower growing edge will not be visible.
Sometimes gel polish is used for medicinal purposes to correct abnormal growth of the nail plate and combat onychophagia. In this case, the coating is applied to the child for a month, and as it grows, it is cut off.
What is the procedure
Everything is very serious here. Children's manicure requires complete treatment of the nail plate and the fingers themselves with a number of special natural products and aids with the maximum level of protection.

What to wear with
- For children's manicure, there is no strict framework for combining it with other elements of the wardrobe. In fact, there are only two combination rules.
- The first is to ensure that the color of the nail plate matches the color scheme of accessories and clothing.
- The second is in style: it’s not customary to come to school with a bright design, but it’s perfect for a themed birthday party or an outing.
- Sports style does not tolerate sparkles and rhinestones - use a plain design or decor with a geometric pattern if you go to the gym.
Advantages of children's manicure
There is no doubt that in this case there are many advantages that can tip the scales of strict mothers towards softening.
Here's what we're talking about:
Your child's hands will look immaculate. If you regularly follow this procedure, your nails will always look neat.
Strengthening the nail plate. This procedure is a kind of healing, which leads to their strengthening and growth. True, only if the manicure is done correctly.

The desire to “borrow” mother’s polishes will disappear, because the child will have his own personal cosmetics.
If you wish, it’s easy to find other advantages why a beautiful children’s manicure is really the right decision. But it makes sense to get acquainted with all sides of this coin.
Indications and contraindications
Nail care is equally beneficial for both boys and girls, and in each case the technique must be performed exactly as prescribed. Avoid:
- Polishing of nail plates;
- Harmful substances.
Without observing such precautions, there is a great risk of harming the child. Manicure is a necessary procedure, and if you teach a child to be clean and tidy from an early age, this will lay the foundation for adult life.
Manicure algorithm
Have you seen a photo of a children's manicure that was performed in accordance with the standards? It actually looks amazing if you don't overdo it. But before you start creating beauty, you should perform some activities.
First, disinfect the work surface, since the child’s immunity has not yet been formed, and therefore is vulnerable to various types of bacteria.
Be sure to process the edges of the nail itself, using special nail files for children. Nail industry experts insist that you should leave at least 1mm of nail length before starting to treat the cuticle.
Apply emollient to the cuticle and then push it back with an orange stick, trimming the edges with round-edged scissors.
If a child bites his nails, then you should choose the coating more carefully. The final touch will be the application of a protective agent on the nails, which has a caring effect.
Matte manicure for school
The matte texture will be the most suitable solution for school nail design. The velvety surface suits any color. And colors such as white, beige or nude look even more attractive and interesting. Patterns, drawings, monograms, lace, stamping are an excellent addition to a school manicure, in which a matte finish will add more charm and neatness.
All girls in adolescence strive to stand out among their peers. Performing a fashionable school manicure is a great way to show your originality, sense of style and elegance. Choosing a manicure option for school is not at all a problem. The main thing is to choose a moderate basic tone and suitable additional decor for this, but otherwise there are no restrictions.
Is hardware manicure allowed?
The use of special equipment is strictly prohibited. The principle of its operation is to remove dead cells from the cuticle, and this is very harmful for the child.
Moreover, in the future the cuticle may take on a thickened shape and a completely unesthetic appearance. But this is only the beginning of the problems. For children over 14 years old, special devices have been developed that take into account the characteristics of their age.
If you really want to, but mom doesn’t allow it
You cannot argue with your parents; all children should know this. When the issue becomes critical, there is no point in becoming in opposition; it would be much more pedagogical to try to find a compromise.
In this case, transfer stickers will be able to satisfy both parties, nipping possible grievances in the bud. And if you approach the problem with your imagination, then armed with a simple toothpick and a gradient, you can create real space on your hand.
However, here everything depends on the taste preferences of the young lady and the advice of her parents. A great option would be to get a children's New Year's manicure, adding a festive mood.
Using improvised materials or purchasing special items for this, the life of a fashionista will be filled with additional emotions and add self-confidence.
