Are you looking for kids fingernail polish or do you know someone who is? Safe nail polish for kids is a hot subject which includes discussions from whether kids should be allowed to use nail polish at all, to what risks that are bigger when kids use nail polish apart from when grown up women (or men, see nail polish for men) paint their fingernails with popular nail polish colors. As always when it comes to something concerning kids and kids health and safety, like kids fingernail polish in this case, many feelings are involved and every parent has his or her own opinion that is the “right” one and have sometimes difficulty listening to what others have to say.
Why should kids fingernail polish be used at all? Because it's creative ans fun and filled with color. The kids also learn about nail care and how to take care of oneself. They develop a sense for creativity and combining colors and so much more. And they love it! Children shouldn't use popular nail polish in order to look like grown up women but to have fun and play with color and get even more chances to feel beautiful and get better self confidence. There are both non toxic nail polish for kids as well as organic nail polish for kids for the ones for whom the environment and protection of the same is important; which it should be to everyone of us. Childrens nail polish are available in many colors, maybe not as many as popular nail polish for older women but just about enough for the kids, they seem to have a hard time choosing their favorite kids fingernail polish colors anyway!
If you've decided that kids fingernail polish is actually okay, you have lots of options when it comes to choosing brand, store, color and much more. There are many brands that make kids fingernail polish and specially designed tools and accessories for nail care for kids. Why not buy fun, colorful and above all safe nail polish kits for kids and give away as a gifts? It doesn't have to be too expensive, it's more of a toy. I'm sure it will be very appreciated among all young girls. Young girls are often very interested in popular nail polish and make-up and clothes and cooking and everything else their mothers and other adult women in their surroundings are concerned with. Of course we shouldn't encourage the kids to grow up too fast, it's very important that they really get the chance to be kids because the chance never comes back if you miss it. But if you buy fingernail polish for kids to your children you'll probably ensure the whole thing is kept on a playful level without getting too serious. Maybe even you and your daughter can start painting you nails together!

Perletones
Perletones or pearl tones are color hues occurring originally on pearls. Perletones are popular nail polish colors that gives your nails a pleasant shimmer on the contrast from matte tones. Perletones on pearls can shift from white and beige to yellow and pink variants, these are the most common ones on both cultured and sweet water pearls. But there are also rare perletones like grey, black and brown (such as fake chocolate pearls). These hues are also available when you're looking for popular nail polish colors. Perletones are not so often used when you're doing or getting a French manicure, this method use matte colors without shimmer though the finish shine because of the top coat. The popular nail polish colors including silver and gold that was used as ancient chinese nail polish, are also a kind of perletones because of their special shimmer and shine! So the fashion of the ancient chinese culture is coming back and is now actually the latest fashion of our days! Every color can be made into a perletone variant if you add a shimmering quality that makes the surface almost reflecting the normal white light and dividing it into its components, that is, actually every color of the light spectrum!
You can compare this effect with the one occurring when you see a rainbow near the sun on a rainy day or when you see a water puddle with oil on it. The effect of a popular nail polish with perletone qualities is of course not as stunning and clear as a rainbow but you get the idea of what it looks like. Perletones are not only found on popular nail polishes but also on some sorts of thin fabrics, on beads (used for example when knitting after bead knitting patterns) and pearls as I mentioned (because pearls are the origin of perletones and the source for the name of this color quality), other types of paint and in pens with ink and eye shadows. So, you can find perletones on popular nail polish, jewelry, make-up, clothes and paint.
It can be applied almost everywhere! Earlier I wrote that the natural perletones are white, beige, pink, yellow, grey, black and brown. But synthetic perletones are available in every imaginable color, also lilac, red, green and others. When you're about to buy a popular nail polish you can often choose if you want the color matte or shimmering, glittering or in perletone. This makes choosing nail polish so much fun and even though two women wear the same color, the effects of the colors can make them appear very different and with totally separate results. You can choose effect on you color according to your mood, what clothes you'll be wearing, weather you're going to work or to a party and so on!

Ancient chinese nail polish
Which is the most popular nail polish in China today? That question is common, just as question about which the most popular nail polish is in any country around the world at the moment. But I wrote the question about China because the interest in chinese nail polish is growing very much. People seem vvery interested especially in ancient chinese nail polish. Nowadays women, and men for that, isn't only keen on what brands and colors and effects to use but also about the history of nail polish and exotic topics like ancient chinese nail polish or how nail polish was used in other long gone cultures such as the kingdom of Egypt or others in Asia. This may indicate not only a growing general interest in nail polish and its history, but also thet people want to know how women for thousands years ago used simple substances from the pure nature to decoratet heir nail and bodies. Maybe soon we will see women who use ocher, umber and other color substances as popular nail polish! Who knows? But it's certain that ancient chinese nail polish is inspiring people and that they are eager to get to know more about this topic.
In the article History of nail polish, the previous one on this blog, you can read about how the ancient chinese culture used their own mixture as popular nail polish. This differed a little bit from the ones used in Egypt and other parts of the world, but the main idea was the same. Arabic gum was the component in the mixture that kept it all together, like a kind of glue. Albumin, which can be found for example in eggs, also have a binding effect. The color of the popular nail polish came from color substances from flowers and plants in nature. Beside these ingredients, beeswax and gelatin was also used to get the perfect ancient chinese nail polish! Of course the ancinet chinese nail polish used wasn't available in so many colors, the most common colors of the most popular nail polish in ancient chinese cultures was red and black. This may be a reason to the fact that these colors, especially the red one, is still regarded as the original and most true popular nail polish color. Other popular nail polish colors for the rich royalty in China was gold and silver, and they probably used the real metals and not only a similar color substitute! That is not too common today, one may claim with right...
