Short Gender Reveal Nails
These nails might be short, but they are pretty! The glitter keeps them looking festive in anticipation while the hand-painted petals and flowers dress them up for the special event.
Since pregnancy can make a person more sensitive to odors, that’s why some choose gel manicures as the polish is odorless. They can wear UV-protective gloves in the nail lamp to safeguard sensitive skin.

Boy or Girl: How Soon Can You Know?
Finding out your baby's sex is an exciting milestone! You have several options, each with its own timeline. As early as 10 weeks, a non-invasive blood test can indicate whether you’re having a boy or a girl. Moreover, procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling are even more accurate. Many parents choose the 20-week ultrasound, where the technician can often identify the sex if the baby is positioned correctly. You can learn the results during your appointment or keep it a surprise.
Butterflies
Translucent French tips with butterflies make for an elegant look. Notice how the artist carefully kept the blue and pink butterflies in balance—there are equal numbers on alternating fingers. No hints here!
What if you want to try this look at home but don’t feel up to painting all these details? Our selection of nail art stickers are easy to apply. Once you brush on the top coat, they blend right in. Notice that the artist used a matte finish here for a standout effect.

Hearts and Feet
What is it about darling little baby feet that makes us squee? Here’s a manicure with lots of love and little footprints celebrating a tiny life on the way. The traditional way to shape these nails would be to use acrylics. Of course, acrylics have a strong odor and are harsh on sensitive skin. But now there’s a better choice that’s beginner friendly. We carry Lavis Poly Gel for sculpting both extensions and nail art. It’s odorless and won’t harden until it’s cured in a nail lamp. You’ll have all the time you want to perfect your design. Plus, it’s compatible with other nail systems like gel polish.

Ombre Gender Reveal Nails
Here’s a low-key approach to gender reveal nail art. It’s a classy ombre manicure with rounded, short nails that won’t get in your way. If you’ve never tried doing a gradient look before, it’s easier than you think. Instead of a brush, try using one side of a makeup sponge to add the dark color to the tips. Then use a clean side to blur the edge.
Rainbow Gender Reveal Nails (with Healthy Polish)
Expectant mothers are careful with their health because their actions impact the baby’s well-being. Many choose water-based or non-toxic polish during pregnancy, and that’s smart. We carry LDS 9-free nail lacquer that contains no petrochemical solvents, camphor, polyurethane, BHA, phthalates, DBP, ketones, toluene, or formaldehyde.
And as for the rainbow design, it acknowledges that a baby's biological sex doesn't always determine their future gender identity. This mama is ready to love her baby regardless.

Traditional Vs. Contemporary Gender Reveal Nail Design Ideas
Most of the time, pink and blue are what we think of when it’s time for a gender reveal. These classic colors form the basis of most nail art designs and decorations for the event.
Color-coordinated French tips with pink on one hand and blue on the other are a classy choice. It doesn’t matter if they are short or long. Ombré effects blend the two shades smoothly across all nails. Some prefer simply alternating pink and blue nails with baby themed accents. Of course, you can make any of these manis sparkle with glitter or rhinestones.
But not everyone sticks to the pink and blue palette. Some prefer a more inclusive approach to their nail art. A rainbow design with different colors for each nail represents diversity. Neutral colors like yellow, green, or purple welcome a baby regardless of their sex at birth. Word art nails spell out phrases like "Oh Baby" instead of “It’s a Boy or It’s a Girl” to celebrate the upcoming arrival.
Whatever design you choose, we wish you and the baby all the best!
It’s a Baby Nails
Maybe you’re anxious to know the baby’s sex so you can decorate the room and shop for cute outfits. It’s completely understandable and normal. Your family and friends want to know so they can get you appropriate gifts. But some parents prefer to keep the secret until the baby is born and that’s fine, too. Here’s one more way to make the baby announcement. The ombre accent nail looks purple because of the intense blend between pink and blue.
