Is it okay for elementary school students to get gel nails?

The elementary school child keeps begging to do their own nails after seeing mom's gel nails...
They said they don't want regular manicure polish...
She also wants to design and decorate herself beautifully like her mom..
Children have delicate nails, so I don't want to give them gel nails...
Is it okay to do gel nails for children? I think it wouldn't be good for their nails if they have to remove it later...
