Children's manicure on short nails with gel polish. Photos, ideas on how to do it at home

General recommendations for gel polish manicure for girls 9-11 years old

Children's manicure (on a child's short nails you can create an elegant design suitable for a strict school dress code) is used to care for a fragile nail plate.

Until the age of 7, it is only allowed to carefully trim overgrown nails with manicure scissors with rounded ends. After 8 years, European and SPA manicures are allowed, in which the cuticle is removed with a special solution and removed with an orange (wooden) stick.

Trimming manicure is prohibited until the age of 15 due to the danger of strong growth and thickening of the skin located around the nail.

Children's nail art is done with special water-based varnishes (from 9 years old you can use a regular coating for an adult manicure).
Cosmetics developed for little fashionistas do not need to be washed off. The decor lasts for 1-2 days and then dissolves on its own with water. The use of shellac to design a child's nails is strictly prohibited due to the aggressive chemical compounds contained in the gel polish , which lead to damage to the incompletely formed plate. After a manicure, nails and hand skin should be moisturized and lubricated with cream with nourishing oils.

For girls 9-12 years old, oval or square nail shapes covered in bright or nude colors are suitable.

Depending on the time of creation of the manicure, children's nail art is divided into school and holiday:

1. In the school dress code, only nude colors are used, creating a natural effect, pale pink, lilac and blue shades. Acceptable decorations include monograms, lace, dots, and lines drawn with white (black) acrylic paints.
2. In the summer and before the holidays, you can make a bright manicure in rich colors (raspberry, green, yellow, blue) with the addition of rhinestones, sparkles, and pearls. It is acceptable to draw or glue the faces of any cartoon characters on your nails.

Useful procedure

You can think about this topic as much as you like, but manicure for girls 12 years old (and not only for them) is a useful procedure that helps keep fingers and nails in a healthy and well-groomed condition.

And there is evidence to support this. For example:

• Thanks to this procedure, the nail is cleansed from dirt and dust;
• the child stops biting his nails, since he doesn’t really want to spoil his beauty;
• manicure for girls is an object to attract attention from boys;
• this procedure creates an attractive appearance, plus the nail plate takes on the desired shape;
• the child begins to take care of himself from an early age

Therefore, no matter what others say, the procedure of applying nail polish does not pose a threat to the girl’s health.

Techniques and methods of children's manicure with gel polish

It is best to do a child’s manicure in a salon, entrusting weak nails to a professional. When processing at home, special care should be taken; under no circumstances should you file or polish the plate.

To create a children's manicure you will need:

• nail files;
• antibacterial agent;
• orange stick;
• cuticle solvent;
• nail scissors with a rounded end;
• softening cream;
• colored nail polish;
• fixative;
• glitter, stickers, rhinestones.

Procedure steps:

1. The child’s hands are washed with running water and detergents and treated with a disinfectant solution to prevent the entry of bacteria. You cannot steam children's nails.
2. The cuticle is treated with a solvent and pushed back with an orange (wooden) stick.
3. Using a file, carefully give the girl’s nails an oval (or square) shape.
4. The prepared plate is wiped with a cotton pad and covered with colored varnish.
5. A drawing is glued on top of the frozen base, a pattern and glitter are applied. The design is fixed with a fixative. Excess varnish is removed with a cotton swab.
6. Hands are lubricated with nourishing cream.

For coating it is best to use a special water-based children's varnish. This base dissolves independently with water after 1-2 days of wear. If you want to create a long-term design (matte finish), use regular colored varnishes and a fixative to fix the nail art.

Let's begin to create beauty, or Detailed processing instructions

After this stage is completed, you can proceed to the actual treatment of children's nails. To do this, use pliers to cut the nails, leaving a free edge length of at least 1 millimeter. The cut edge also needs to be processed with a special file. For a little lady, it will be enough to use only wire cutters. Then take the emollient oil and lubricate the nail plate and cuticle with it to make it as soft as possible. Using an orange stick, gently press the cuticle to the edge of the nail growth. Before doing this, it is also useful to take a warm bath for your nails, adding lavender oil to the water, which will have a calming and relaxing effect. If there are burrs on your fingers, they also need to be removed with a nipper. After the procedure, you can apply baby cream to your hands and do a light massage with a brush. Finally, coat your nails with a suitable colored polish or start the creative process of painting.

Plain children's manicure with gel polish

A children's manicure (on a child's short nails you can create a cartoon composition using 3D stickers for decoration) made with a single-color base is an ideal solution for school life.

Teachers look with disapproval at the abundance of bright varnish, so nail art made like this is well suited for an everyday look:

• in beige;

• in brown;
• in gray;
• in pink;
• in peach tones.

The ideal option is a fashionable “naturalness” in which a transparent, pale pink varnish is applied to the nails, giving a glossy shine and the effect of well-groomed nails without coating. The summer months invite you to diversify your manicure with bright shades of crimson, lilac, gold, and green.

How to make a room in indie kid style

In this extravagant direction there is no emphasis on interior decoration and furniture. The focus shifts to color combinations, decor and lighting. Let's look at the main aspects of these points.

Color solutions

The design of the indian room contains bright, acidic colors. Particularly popular are the shades of pink, purple, yellow, green, blue, and blue. Fans of the style are not afraid to combine flashy tones and create interesting combinations of incompatible colors.

Zebra and leopard prints are also frequent guests in extravagant interiors. Against the backdrop of bright accessories, such inclusions look fresh and interesting.

But calm pastel colors are rarely present in the design. They are found only as a background for bright decor. Therefore, if the room already has wallpaper of a neutral shade, you don’t have to remove it.

Deep and dark colors are prohibited. Adherents of an unusual trend consider them depressive. However, as an exception, they may be present in very limited quantities. For example, in furniture design.

For local lighting, floor lamps, sconces, and garlands of bright lamps in round shades are suitable. Don't forget to arrange decorative lighting. For example, using neon or LED strips.

You can also add colored lighting to the room. An LED chandelier with a shade switching function is suitable for this purpose. An alternative option is lamps in colored shades. They will provide soft diffused light with a pleasant tone.
