We’re sharing 16 of the cutest Thanksgiving nail ideas to try this year.
Ahhh, Thanksgiving…the one day a year we can eat whatever and how much ever we like and not feel guilty about it. LOL. It truly is such a holiday to be thankful for and one that our family has filled with tradition. Other than cooking and eating amazing food, we also take the day as an excuse to get dressed in a cute Thanksgiving outfit, with our makeup done and a fresh coat of paint on our nails.
Thanksgiving is pretty much the last fall holiday before we start sporting Christmas nail colors, so we like to go out with a bang. We love decorating our nails with moody fall colors, pumpkin designs and maybe even a cute turkey-inspired nail design.
If you’re looking for the perfect nail design for Thanksgiving festivities, we’ve got your covered.
