Thanksgiving-Inspired Nails That Don't Take Things Literally
What we're serving up on Thanksgiving day (alongside our killer pecan pie, of course)? Autumnal waves, seasonal colors, and a football-themed nail look from the Monse runway show. Consider November 23 a no-kitsch zone. Ahead, 15 manicured ways to celebrate the holiday without getting too cheesy.
This s what we tell ourselves when we get to our fourth serving. If the Simpsonsdonut colorway is too bright, swap out the pinks and blues for more autumnal colors like burnt sienna and forest green
Dry Brush Technique
Negative nails are typically reserved for graphic, linear designs, but the dry brush technique is shaking things up. Start with a bare nail, thinly apply a shimmery gold polish, then wipe off the majority of the product until it's nearly dry.
Hologram nails are rising in popularity, but you can update the on-trend look by using several chrome lacquers in a bold, graphic design.
If you want something basic but glam, go for this simple negative nail. Start with a clear base coat. Paint the upper half of each nail bed on the diagonal in a glittery lacquer. Once dry, seal the nail with a clear top coat.
Nude Grid
Elevate a nude nail with this design in contrasting textures. Start by applying a nude base then layer it with a matte top coat. Let dry, then paint a grid in a clear topcoat with a striping brush.
