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:
- 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.
- 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.
Stamping in school nail art
The stamping technique is very common, so this year not a single manicure can do without it. And school design is no exception. Ideal clear patterns attract many girls. To make your manicure stand out a little, decorate your nails with flowers or patterns of small rhinestones. Of course, for a school manicure, it is recommended to use stamping patterns not on all nails, so that the school nail design is perceived as moderate.
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:
- 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.
- The cuticle is treated with a solvent and pushed back with an orange (wooden) stick.
- Using a file, carefully give the girl’s nails an oval (or square) shape.
- The prepared plate is wiped with a cotton pad and covered with colored varnish.
- 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.
- 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.
Stickers
One of the simplest designs that won't take much time. Stickers to suit your taste can be purchased at any store that sells cosmetic products. They can decorate the entire hand or be used on just one or two nails. For gluing, you only need a glass of water at room temperature. The choice is huge:
- flowers;
- animals;
- arrows;
- butterflies;
- patterns;
- emoticons;
- prints.
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.
Shiny design with sequins and kamifubuki
A single-color manicure is an ideal solution for school. But why not decorate it with sparkly accents? Sparkling decor can easily be included in a school manicure. It’s worth trying to create geometry, patterns or designs with sparkles and complement them with a minimum amount of kamifubuki. This will provide a beautiful, attractive appearance of the manicure and is perfect for the image of a schoolgirl.
