One of the most fun things about Thanksgiving dinner with your friends and family (besides the delicious feast) is the opportunity to show off your fall style. Whether you're rocking a cute fall dress, a cozy fall sweater, or trying one of Ree Drummond's favorite fall fashions, we highly recommend accessorizing with some festive Thanksgiving nails.
We've rounded up the best fall manicures for you to choose from, with ideas for every taste, including neutral or solid color nails as well as some more dramatic options with cute art that nods to the holiday season. We're talking pumpkins, falling leaves, acorns, and even a couple of manicures with tiny turkeys! There are also some designs that are a little less on the nose, like an "autumn kisses" manicure featuring an all-over lip print in everyone's favorite fall colors, or a pumpkin pie-inspired manicure featuring bright orange polish and creamy half moons and tips reminiscent of whipped cream topping.
The best thing about these designs is that they're all relatively simple so even beginners can try them as an at-home manicure. No matter which manicure you choose, it's sure to impress everyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table!
