If you want to nail your gender reveal party style, don’t forget your fingers! The unique design on your nail beds can tell a story about your upcoming celebration, whether or not you know the sex of your baby.
If you're concerned about the safety of painting your nails during pregnancy, know that it's generally safe to get manicures and pedicures while expecting. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you do:
- Try to look for water-based and non-toxic nail polishes
- Avoid acrylics if the smell irritates you
- Wear gloves if you get a gel manicure, which uses UV light
- Make sure the salon you visit is well-ventilated, or ask to sit near an open window
With these need-to-know pieces of information out of the way, let's get to the good stuff: Your gender reveal manicure. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to gender reveal nail designs, and we whittled it down to a few of our favorites.
