Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and all that cooking and serving will feel a lot more glamorous with a fresh set of Thanksgiving nails. We always love a festive mani to mark a holiday or special occasion, and Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to pull out your best fall manicure and ensure that everyone you love is around to admire it.
The phrase “Thanksgiving nail designs” might conjure up unsexy visions of turkeys, but fear not: There are plenty of manicures that are less stereotypical, but still on theme. You can opt for a solid mani in your favorite autumn tone—think olive green, butternut yellow, or cranberry red—or for nail art that plays with seasonal patterns (hi, plaid and tortoiseshell).
Whether you’re into multicolor nail designs, minimalistic looks, or eye-catching effects, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, we rounded up the cutest Thanksgiving nail inspo on Instagram for every nail shape, length, and vibe.
