Acrylic nails for a 12-year-old????

[Cocochoco]

DD has wanted acrylics since she started secondary school. Quite a few of her friends have them and there's a nail party planned.

I have consistently said no because I'm worried about damage to her nails (also hate the look of them but that's a secondary issue). But she's begging and begging and I'm starting to waver.

So are they safe or not? She is 12.

I would let her, but then I let my 7 year old get gel nails as a treat for a special occasion.

You should, it does not do any harm, as long as it’s put on correctly and REMOVED correctly it totally safe.
It’s scientifically proved that acrylic does not do harm, plus it’s something that me and my daughter bond over with and she’s 12 too. Just don’t do them too often and make sure to apply oil to the cuticles often.

It is perfectly fine i have had acrylics when i was her age and they defintley dont damage your nails let the girl get em
