Steps to Giving a Kids Manicure
Step 1: Remove any existing polish on their nails. We recommend using our Soy nail polish remover with our lint-free cotton pads because it’s safe for all ages, non-toxic and odor free.
Step 2: Prep the cuticles by applying cuticle oil to each cuticle and letting that soak in for 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: File the nails to clean up the shape of each nail. If you want to remove length from the nail, we recommend using the nail clippers first, followed by the nail file just for shaping. File in one direction as opposed to back and forth.
Step 4: Gently push back each cuticle with a cuticle pusher or your thumb. We don't recommend cutting the cuticles, and with the regular use of our cuticle oil, you shouldn't need to!
Step 5: Take a hand scrub to massage the child’s hands, fingers, nails, and cuticles. Rinse well. Make sure you dry their hands very well after rinsing so the nails are dry for the best possible polish adhesion.
Step 6: Polish the nails! We recommend 1-2 coats of nail polish.
Step 7: Applying a top coat is optional. This is only needed if you want the nails to be extra shiny! If they’re getting a bit antsy or don’t want to wait for a topcoat, they don’t need to. With Taylor Made quality nail polish long-wearing is attained with polish alone!
Step 8: This is the final step and one you should repeat daily. Apply cuticle oil to your cuticles and surrounding skin. This extends the life of your manicure by keeping the nails moisturized.
Manicure Schedule for your Child
It is important to keep up with regular manicures in order to keep nails healthy and looking their best! Depending on how quickly your child’s nails grow out, we recommend scheduling a manicure every two weeks or so in order for them to stay looking their best! This is a great way to teach your child valuable self-care habits and a wonderful way to spend one on one time with them.
Enjoy the bonding experience and most importantly, have fun! Remember, adult supervision is necessary throughout the process, and the products mentioned are safe for kids but not intended for their unsupervised use! Ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your child.
