It's that time of year, when collegiettes everywhere love to get festive! So we're bringing you a pretty Thanksgiving manicure that's both seasonal and sophisticated (as in, you won't have turkey faces all over your nails!). This subtle look is perfect for both fall—and the Thanksgiving holiday.
For this look, I'm using OPI's You Don't Know Jacques! ($6.37), Sinful Colors' Clementine ($5.74), Revlon's Revlon Red ($4.99), Milani's Yellow Whiz ($4.49), and Essie Luxeffects in As Gold As It Gets ($8.50).
To start, paint each nail with the brown polish, using as many coats as necessary to create an opaque base.
Using the green dotting tool from DragonPad's Five Peice Dotting Tool Set ($1.89), create red, orange and yellow leaves near the cuticle of your middle finger nail like I've done below.
Repeat the same process on your thumb, pointer, and pinky, changing up the order of the colors. You can also alternate where you place the leaves so each nail is slightly different.
Using the gold glitter, paint your ring finger with a few coats to ensure that the glitter is more concentrated.
Clean up your cuticles using a brush or Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover. Lastly, add a top coat to protect your nails and add shine.
And there you have it, collegiettes—Thanksgiving-inspired nails to get you in the holiday spirit! These are perfect for dinner with the family; so polish those digits and get ready to fill your stomach with delicious turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.
