Sonogram Nail Designs For Expecting Mothers
Expecting mothers are having their babies sonogram painted on their nails. This one of a kind nail design has popped up and we’re loving it. The designs are generally hand painted or using a printed nail transfer.
This black on white nail design is a unique way to keep the image of your unborn baby close. Some may find it creepy, it’s a far more subtle option than a Tshirt or a sonogram Tattoo.
Some women have also used sonogram nail designs as a way to remember, acknowledge, and grieve children lost through miscarriage or stillbirth.
@nailsbysarah says: “This manicure has been a long time coming. After three years and numerous fertility treatments, my hubby and I finally conceived in April. On May 30, my heart was broken when I found out my baby was no longer living and growing, and he was taken from me the next day. I lost all inspiration as I struggled with the grief. I learned how to love him and his brief life and move forward with renewed hope. I love you jelly bean, and seeing you on my nails makes me smile”
There are so many unique designs for nails, this one is so popular we’ve seen nail technicians offer ultrasound nails as a service by request.
Some expecting mothers are using the nail designs as a pregnancy reveal, if you wanted to make it gendered, you could add a spot of pink or blue.
You will need a steady hand and a toothpick or similar to attempt a DIY design, or ask a nail technician to organize this design during your next appointment. It may help to email ahead with a copy of your sonogram.
If you are not confident in hand painting your own design, you can create your own nail decal using a printer.
Most of the designs we have seen paint a single nail as a feature. The design above keeps the rest of the nails in an understated natural tone. We think this makes the feature nail pop!
