Warm earth tones

Start with a base coat of a warm, terra-cotta color. This will remind everyone of the golden hue of fall leaves and the warm, inviting tones of Thanksgiving dinner. Then, add accent nails in darker shades of brown, like a rich chocolate or deep amber, to represent the hearty dishes on the table.

Rustic reds and oranges

For a more bold and festive look, consider using bright reds and oranges as your primary colors. These colors can represent everything from cranberry sauce to fiesta spices. Try using them in an ombre effect, starting with a dark red at the cuticle and graduating to a bright orange at the tip of the nail.

Fall nail art patterns

Thanksgiving isn't just about colors - it's also about patterns. Whether it's the intricate designs on your grandma's tablecloth or the repeating pattern of leaves on her wallpaper, there are plenty of ways to incorporate fall patterns into your nail art.

Leaves and pine cones

One of the most iconic images of fall is the falling leaf. You can mimic this on your nails with some simple freehand painting or using a leaf-shaped nail stamp. Accent these leaves with tiny specks of gold to represent the highlights on each leaf as it falls. Add a few tiny pine cone accents for an extra touch of fall.

Plaid and tartan

Plaid and tartan are classic fall patterns, and they can look stunning on your nails. Start with a base color - think rich greens, deep reds, or warm browns - then use nail tape to create alternating stripes of your chosen base color and a contrasting shade. Peel off the tape when the top coat is dry, and you'll be left with a beautiful, festive plaid pattern.
