Creating cute nails for kids is a fun and creative way to spend time with your children while also teaching them about self-care and personal hygiene. While traditional nail polish can be messy and difficult to apply, nail wraps are a great alternative for kids' nails. Nail wraps are easy to apply, long-lasting, and come in a variety of fun designs that are perfect for kids of all ages.
If you are looking for nails for 12 year old children, or younger, nail wraps are a great option. Fake nails for kids are often made of harmful chemicals and can cause damage to natural nails. Nail wraps are a safe and non-toxic alternative that can be easily removed without damaging their nails. They are also easy to apply and can be done at home, making them a fun activity for parents and children to do together!

2. Prep the nails
Now that you and your child have chosen the perfect set of wraps, it is time for application! Before applying the wraps, it is important to prep the nails. Start by washing your child's hands to remove any dirt or oils. Then, use a nail file to shape their nails and gently push back their cuticles. This will help the nail wraps adhere properly and last longer.
3. Apply the wraps
Applying nail wraps is easy and fun! Start by selecting the right size wrap for each nail. Place the wrap over the nail and gently press down, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Use a nail file to remove any excess wrap and shape the edges to fit the nail perfectly. Repeat the process for each nail. If you need extra tips and tricks, read our more in-depth article here.
4. Finish with a top coat
To make the nail wraps last longer, finish with a top coat. You can use our clear top coat, or opt for a glitter top coat for added sparkle. The top coat helps to protect the nail wraps from chipping and peeling and will also give them a glossy finish.
