Share
Got a little one who can't walk past a nail polish display? Kids nail polish makes a brilliant Christmas gift: it's creative, it's something you can do together, and it fits perfectly in a stocking. Here are our favourite Buds gift ideas for every budget, all made for kids aged 3 and over.
Why Buds makes a great gift
Buds Kids Nail Polish is a plant-based polish made in Australia by Hanami, in small batches. It's made from 82% naturally derived ingredients including sugarcane, cotton, corn and cassava, and it's vegan and cruelty-free, certified by PETA. It's quick drying, so little ones aren't waiting around with wet nails. Want to know more about what goes into it? Read What Nail Polish Is Safe for Kids?

Add a finishing touch
Hanami 3-in-1 Top and Base Coat: from Hanami, lil Buds' mama! It adds shine, helps stickers last longer, and is a polish mums and kids can share.
Tips for a happy Christmas mani
- Start with clean, dry nails and tidy them up with a mini nail file.
- Apply the first coat in smooth strokes from base to tip, then let it dry for 3-4 minutes.
- Add a second coat for that perfect pop of colour, then add stickers if you like.
- Seal everything with the Hanami 3-in-1 Top and Base Coat for extra shine.
Buds is suitable for ages 3+. Always use adult supervision.
