Nail art is more popular than ever these days. Thanks to modern technology, just about anything you can imagine is feasible in the nail department - whether that means turning your talons into cheese graters (seriously, it's a thing), breasts, or, as has been the case in a much sweeter trend, your baby's sonogram.
And let's face it, this is one of the parent's most prized possessions. Sure, it's easy enough to share with friends and family on social media, but anyone who decided to incorporate theirs into their nails is definitely taking their excitement to an extra level which, in my humble opinion, should be respected. After all, what better what to show your kid how excited you were about their arrival than to show them pictures of your nail art when they're old enough?!
Here are some of the best examples of sonogram nail art that the internet has to offer...
1. Bejeweled mommy-to-be nails

2. Tie-dyed and jeweled sonogram nails

4. Glamorous and eye-catching baby pink nails

5. Sonogram painting nail art

6. Sonogram name nails
Credit: 3286Okay, I'm not doing to lie, these look downright comfortable, but each to their own. The name is a pretty cute idea though!

8. Nails that announce pretty much everything about your pregnancy

9. A gorgeously simply sonogram nail

10. Very early on sonogram nails

11. Fashionista sonogram nails

Has this list inspired you, or perhaps inspired you to tell someone you know, to get sonogram nail art? As this list demonstrates, there's a lot of options to chose from in this department. And while it might, on the surface, seem like a petty extra thing to do, you can make your little angel's first picture as extravagant or as understated as you like!
