Easy to Do Nail Art for Kids

Materials Needed

Before we get started, let’s gather all the tools needed for this activity.

  • base coat
  • detail brush
  • nail polish
  • dotting tool
  • top coat

Remember to apply some base coat before anything else. We want to protect the nails from stain and the nail polish to last longer.

Once done, just apply the top coat for that shiny look. Now that we’re all set, let’s look at some of the best kid-friendly nail art designs out there!

1. Sky Shrouded in Clouds

All you need for this one are blue and white nail polish. Use the detail brush to draw the clouds and spread the white polish inside the clouds.

You may want to use a lighter shade of blue like baby blue for a brighter and more realistic design.

2. Chuck Taylor

Most kids love wearing their Chucks, but would they also like it on their nails? Probably a no-brainer.

Black and white polish will be your primary colors mainly for nail design. Feel free to use whatever color your kids want since these classic shoes are best known for their wide selection of colors.

3. Santa Claus

Who doesn’t want Santa on their nails? You’ll need red, white, black, and nude polishes to replicate Santa’s look.

With proper detailing, kids will not only have their hero in their hearts but also on their nails!

4. Ladybugs

Ladybugs are often portrayed as cute, little insects on most kid’s show so it’s safe to say younglings would absolutely love it on their nails. With just red and black polishes plus the dotting tool, you are all set.

Simply coat your entire nails with the red polish then add the black spots anywhere you want.

5. Rainbows

Rainbows are always a delight to look at regardless if you’re a kid or an adult. Start by applying light blue polish to set the tone and background.

Then, draw the seven colors horizontally using the detail brush.
