Thanksgiving manicures might not be as popular as Halloween designs<\/a> or Christmas nail art<\/a>, but I\u2019ll never pass up an excuse to visit the salon for a fresh manicure. <\/p>\n

With Turkey Day just around the corner, I\u2019ve been busy saving the cutest fall nail designs<\/a> and trending textures<\/a> that will lend themselves perfectly to the occasion. Whether it\u2019s a colorblock manicure in the shades of the season<\/a> or a more intricate design to honor the holiday itself, these 13 ideas are festive without feeling cheesy. <\/p>\n

And most importantly, whether you\u2019re dressing up in your finest or chilling in your sweatpants, there\u2019s a nail design to vibe with whatever Thanksgiving you\u2019re having this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Argyle is the sweater pattern of the season \u2014 just ask the fashion set. We love this diamond-emblazoned design by Chummy Nails, which combines chocolate hues with cherry reds and fall-inspired leafy tones.<\/p>\n

Cat-eye nails just got a major fall upgrade: a molten cat-eye polish that makes the negative space between the animal print glow like amber-lit flames.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is officially the start of the holiday season and, for me, that means any excuse for a little shimmer. This cat-eye manicure created by Eleanor Szejner<\/a> is packed with perfect fall tones, from deep copper and burnished brown to pumpkin orange and rose gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
