Animals and heroes
One of the successful design ideas that all children approve of will be images of various animals or favorite cartoon characters on their fingers. The girl will be able to choose absolutely any cute character that will show off on her fingers. It is recommended that the coating be done in the colors of your favorite cartoon. This could be a yellow design that depicts cheerful minions or SpongeBob. Or a manicure in blue and white with characters from the cartoon “Adventure Time”.
How to make a beautiful manicure
In order for the polish to last on your nails as long as possible, you should listen to the following tips:
- wipe the nail plates with a cotton swab and white vinegar before applying the base coat (this product eliminates the greasy layer and dirt that interfere with the application of polish);
- do not soak your nails before the procedure (many unaware people do this in order to soften the cuticle, but in fact this process leads to steaming and expansion of the nails, and after applying the varnish, the nails shrink again and the layer of varnish no longer corresponds to the size of the plate);
- do not apply varnish to the cuticle (it lifts the paint from the nail, which ultimately leads to chipping);
- dry your nails with cold air (due to hot air, the polish takes longer to dry, so to speed up this process, you can dip your fingers in ice water for a couple of minutes);
- regularly apply nail oil (this product prevents the plate from drying out and splitting, so you need to use it every day);
- Don't panic if the already-dried polish has chipped (you can fix this problem by using a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover, smooth the edges, and then apply another coat of polish).
School
Many teachers prohibit any covering for students. In order to avoid disagreements and claims, this issue should be approached with the utmost caution. School manicure for girls 12 years old should be in simple and neutral shades. It is allowed to use light pink or pale beige. These tones follow the color of the nail plate and are barely noticeable. The best solution would be a regular coating with colorless varnish. Neat nails will not distract your child from studying.
Basic rules of manicure for girls
The first thing you should consider is the age of the child. Of course, the little ones do not need to do this procedure. It will be too tiring for them and after 5 minutes any child will simply start to be capricious.
Nail art experts still recommend starting to do manicures no earlier than 10 years old, and only at the request of the child himself.
It is worth noting that manicure for children is carried out slightly differently than for adults. Firstly, under no circumstances should you push back the cuticle or cut it off. Moreover, the technology of unedged manicure is considered much safer even for adults. As for children, their cuticle is still very thin, so the nail plate can be damaged in the process. Unfortunately, this very often leads to nail deformation.
To soften your fingers, you can make a bath of herbs or sea salt. All girls will definitely like this procedure. If there are hangnails, you can trim them with scissors or using special tweezers.
Separately, it is worth noting the length of the nails. You should not leave them long or cut them right down to the base. These are two extremes that should be avoided. After all, nails that are too long will get in the way and break, while short ones will cause them to grow incorrectly.
The most optimal length of nails is no more than 3 mm of the free edge. This will keep them clean and tidy. In addition, girls bite their well-groomed nails much less often. Therefore, manicure is a great way to get rid of this habit.
It is better to choose a rounded nail shape. It will be convenient in the active daily life of the child. In addition, such nails will not scratch the skin.
As for the color scheme, the best solution for school everyday life is transparent varnish. It will not raise questions among teachers and will make your nails look well-groomed. Of course, during the holidays you can allow your child more variety. For example, bright colors and beautiful designs.
Confetti
All children really like varnishes that resemble splashes of colorful paints! The ideal combination of a nude or milky base, shimmer and multi-colored glitter does not require any special expenses. Reminiscent of sweet ice cream with many fruity flavors. Good for walking or a great nail design for a birthday.
What should not be allowed in manicure for schoolgirls
- Long nails. Many schools even have a clause in their charter about the length of schoolgirls’ nails, and the same applies to the color of their nails.
- Bright, catchy colors of coating on nails.
- Do not abuse decorative elements and decorations on nails (rhinestones, stones, sparkles).
Today, the choice of nail coatings is huge. The color solutions are varied: up to 10 shades of the same color, a lot of options for texture solutions and stylish finds. A modern girl can choose any manicure design, any coating and do it either at home or in a salon.
Gel polish coating at home
Just about 10 years ago, it was possible to do a manicure at home only with scissors and a nail file and cover it exclusively with varnish. The rest is in the master's salon. But today, such a coating as gel polish has become more accessible and now it is absolutely not necessary to go to a beauty salon to get a more durable manicure.
Advantages of gel polish coating

How to care for nails for young fashionistas
Naturally, a girl should always have neatly trimmed, clean and well-treated nails. You can take care of the cuticles, remove them, and shape your nails starting at the age of 12. Also use not bright, nude or pastel shades for coating.
Following simple nail care rules will help maintain their beauty and healthy appearance for many years.
Basic principles for beautiful nails
- Keep your nails clean. If there is dirt under the nail plate, it not only looks untidy, it is also harmful to the health of the nails. This is how bacteria accumulate there and any infection can occur.
- Do not bite your nails under any circumstances. Of course, parents should monitor this. And if a child has developed such a habit, then it is necessary to find out its causes and eliminate them. These may also be psychological problems. This habit can also affect the health of your nails. They will begin to flake and look unattractive.
- Remove nail polish removers containing acetone. This substance negatively affects the nail plate, making it thin and brittle. Acetone also changes its color.
- Moisturizing the skin of the hands. It is necessary to take care of health and beauty from youth. Don't neglect hand and cuticle moisturizers. The skin is softened and moisturized not only with creams, but also with natural oils (shea, coconut, olive).
Manicure for school
Of course, for everyday life at school, the best option is a clear varnish or simply a strengthening varnish. The advantage of this manicure is that chips of the varnish, if any, are not noticeable and the nails always look neat. But modern fashionistas still prefer more interesting manicure options.
So, on short nails, small glitter and pearlescent varnishes in delicate shades look very gentle. This is especially true for girls aged 12-14. Agree, a young creature with long nails and a manicure in the style of a lady vamp looks extremely ridiculous. Everything should be according to age.
Where to begin
If the mother or older sister independently performs a cosmetic procedure for their own blood, then it is worth familiarizing yourself with numerous photos of manicures for girls on the Internet and in specialized magazines.
To do this, it is necessary to attract the object of effort. It is better if she herself chooses an example for subsequent application on the nails.
Themes for children's nails:
- It is beneficial to use three colors of the rainbow. For example, yellow, blue and green. But recently a patriotic motif in the form of the Russian tricolor has been popular: white, blue and red;
- It is allowed to use domestic images from cartoons in the form of a bunny from “Well, wait a minute,” a hedgehog from “Hedgehog in the Fog,” Luntik and other popular characters. May the Bee, Ariel the Little Mermaid, and Jasmine are among the possible options from foreign children's shows;
- Images of various flowers, ornaments, hieroglyphs.
But it’s better if the girl chooses what to put on her nails. In this case, there will be no effect of lack of interest followed by a scandal - “What did you depict to me, quickly erase this disgrace.”
Manicure for graduation
The last school ball characterizes the period of transition from childhood to adolescence. Girls become girls and certainly strive to emphasize this. Explain that moderation is important in everything. This also applies to style. Of course, it should be more sophisticated than usual, but consider the style of the dress and the event in general. Add more sparkle with rhinestones that sparkle under the evening lights.
In pastel colors
Delightful lunar
Decorate the monochrome design with sparkles. Make a scattering on the tips so that it covers a third of the surface. It's stylish, fashionable and youthful.
Photo design will be creative. Select any image and print it in a photo salon. Decorate one or more nails with it.
Modeling in 2022 - 2022 is not used in everyday nail art. But as a small original element at a prom, it is quite harmonious. Make one large flower on your ring finger in the salon. Try to match the style with other accessories.
Impeccable Accent
On a magical evening, any manifestation of individuality is possible. The main thing is to use moderation and do not try to depict all the patterns in one design. Conciseness and simplicity are most appropriate. It's no secret that naturalness is the main trend of the current season.
Decor with rhinestones
Advice! For a girl to see the right technology, take her to a professional salon.
Hardware manicure and children
Hardware manicure is not recommended for caring for children's nails. When using the device, dead cells on the cuticle are removed, which will subsequently lead to its thickening. And this is discomfort for the child.
In addition, the nail plate of babies is not strong and can be deformed from the vibrations of the device. It is better to use an unedged manicure, suitable for both 7-year-old girls and 12-year-old girls. Your nails will look beautiful and healthy.
Advice from experienced manicurists
Experienced manicurists will never advise children under 14-15 years of age to perform shellac nails or extensions for no apparent reason. They will always warn the child about the consequences of the procedure and offer an alternative option.
Professionals will use soft surface files. Experts advise preventing the appearance of burrs and regularly cutting them off with sharp scissors, followed by disinfection. It is recommended to only move the cuticle, but not cut it. When doing nail extensions, it is important to apply a base (base) under the gel, and at the end - apply hand and nail cream.
Thrips options
Beginning fashionistas are recommended to use stickers of different themes: stars, flowers, stripes. Each age has its own patterns on the nails. Extended nails for teenagers will be closer to the design of young girls. This is natural, because they are almost adults.
Girls, becoming familiar with hand care, take the first steps towards neatness and beauty. If they are interested in this, then parents have only one thing left to do: support the younger generation in their passion and guide them along the right path. The main thing is to contact competent specialists in salons.
