Thanksgiving nails!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's time to get in the holiday spirit. No better way to do that than with your nails! This simple yet festive tutorial is perfect for turkey day!

What you'll need to get started:
  • White nail polish
  • Yellow nail polish
  • Red nail polish
  • Light brown nail polish
  • Dark brown nail polish
  • Black nail polish
  • Orange nail polish
  • Toothpick
  • Very small paint brush or nail design brush
Let's get started!
  1. Start off with clean, unpolished nails.
  2. Take your white nail polish, and cover all your nails with it completely. You may need to do multiple coats, depending on the brand of nail polish you are using. Let dry.
  3. After they dry, you can start the turkey. The turkey is going to be on the ring finger's nail. Taking  a very small paint brush, or nail design brush, start painting the feathers on your ring finger. Alternate between the red, light brown, and yellow nail polish.
  4. After you have a fan of different colored feathers on your ring finger, let it dry completely.
  5. Then on the other four fingers, you can also paint on small feathers in the corners of the nails.
  6. Going back to the turkey on your ring finger, take your dark brown nail polish, and fill in the center of where all of the feathers meet, to create the body of the turkey. Let dry.
  7. Take your toothpick and dip it in the white nail polish. Make two dots of the turkey for eyes.
  8. After that dries, take the black nail polish and make two very small dots on top of the white, to make the pupils for the turkeys eyes.
  9. Lastly, take the toothpick and the orange nail polish and create a small triangle beak under the eyes.
  10. After everything dries, you can take a top/clear coat if you choose, to prevent any chipping.
