Gobble Gobble Nail Art

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and it's time to start preparing! Honey-baked ham, candied yams, and terrific nails? A fabulous person must have it all — watching the Macy’s Day Parade with family, setting out a deliciously prepared dinner, and carving the turkey — while looking like a fashionista. It's only appropriate to have perfectly manicured nails that match the occasion. Set aside some time this season to re-create this turkey-inspired manicure. 

Check out our step-by-step guide below to create this fun holiday look on your own...

 
1. Gather your brightest red, yellow, orange, brown, black, and white nail polish.

2. Starting with your pinky, take your yellow polish and create a straight line down the center of your nail. Start to gradually thicken the line by swooping it out on both sides, creating a flute shape.

 3. Fill in the bare sides of your nails with polish — one side should be orange and the other side should be red. Dip a nail art brush in black polish and outline the middle section, which will separate the shades.

4. Continue steps 1-3 on the rest of your nails (minus your thumbs) and alternate the colors to add some variety to this fun holiday look.

5. Time for the turkey! Paint your entire thumb with dark brown polish and wait for it to dry. Then, use orange polish to create a triangle-shaped “beak.” Next, place two large dots of white polish just above the beak, and then, while the white polish is still wet, place a tiny dot of black polish in each white circle. 

Now you can add a little festivity to your nails for this delicious holiday!
