Thanksgiving Manicure Idea #2: Shapes on Shapes
We like to think of this look as your elementary school paper turkey all grown up and glam. Using Essie’s Easily Suede and Rust Worthy, @ritaemark created a fun and dynamic manicure. The best part about this look is that you can put your own spin on it. Play with shapes and positioning to create a unique style that will have everyone staring as they talk turkey.
Thanksgiving Manicure Idea #3: Gobble, Gobble
If your nail skills are stellar, then this is the look for you — hands down. Consider this our formal thank you to @nailsbycambria for gracing us with this jaw-dropping look. At first glance, the turkey accent nail may look a tad intimidating, but after watching the step-by-step tutorial our confidence in executing this Thanksgiving look has grown exponentially.
Thanksgiving Manicure Idea #4: Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice
