It is better to choose children’s varnishes in calm pastel shades, which can be with sparkles and mother-of-pearl. Bright neon shades may contain chemical dyes.
When choosing a children’s nail polish, be sure to study the packaging – the expiration date, and also for what age the product is intended.
