Today, there are many bases containing nutrients and vitamins that will strengthen and treat weak nails. For children's manicure special water-based paints are produced, however, and under such varnish it is necessary to apply a transparent base. Preference should be given to such a basic coating, which protects the marigold from the penetration of colored pigments.

How to avoid conflicts because of a child's manicure
Covered with varicoloured nail polish child can cause a negative reaction from school teachers. And here there can be a real psychological conflict.
On the one hand, if parents, having listened to the teacher's remarks, forbid the girl to paint her nails, their authority may suffer somewhat. The child reacts sharply to the moments when the parents allow something, and then they forbid it.
On the other hand, if mothers, contrary to the remarks of the teacher, are allowed to continue walking the girl to school with painted nails, it will hit the authority of the teacher in the eyes of the students.
In both cases, the experience of such situations for the child will be negative.
The only correct way out is to explain initially to the girl that the nail art will be appropriate for solemn occasions, and not for each day. Graduation in kindergarten, birthday, festive events are exactly the case when a child's manicure with a beautiful colored varnish will be appropriate.
