First things first, consider a chic white base – it’s clean, classy, and goes with everything. Add a pop of baby blue or a hint of pink for those baby vibes.

I mean, what’s a baby shower without some sweet pastels, right? 

Now, let’s talk accent nails – because who says we can’t have a little fun?

Simple floral designs are my absolute fave, adding a touch of nature to my mani.

And if you’re feeling a bit edgy, try the half-moon design or mix in bold colors for that extra flair. 

Oh, and did I mention baby girl vibes? Pink, pink, and more pink! Whether it’s a soft blush or a vibrant hot pink, it’s a win for baby shower manicures. 

Acrylic Nails vs Press On

Thinking about fake nails? Acrylics can be a great way to go! They give you that perfect length and shape, and let’s face it, they make you feel like a total nail artist. Plus, they last longer than most other options.

However, if you’re trying to stay budget conscious, I truly LOVE KISS Impress Nails.

I can get mine to stay on for 2 weeks by following these steps exactly:

• Do your nails as the VERY last thing you do before going to sleep (you don’t want to wet your hands for a full 8 hours if possible after)
• Use the little stick to push your cuticles back
• File the tops of your nails just slightly
• Wipe each nail down with an alcohol wipe
• Press each nail down fully for a few seconds before moving on to the next nail (work from pinky to thumb)
• Once you’re done, go back through and give each nail another good press

Here’s some great press on baby shower nail ideas you can DIY at home:
