Plaid Fall Nails

Nothing screams fall like a classic plaid nail design. Apply the dark blue-green color to all the nails except the middle and fourth finger, leaving two nails to wear the fall plaid design. Paint straight lines in both directions using blue gel polish, white gel, and sparkly gold. Having the colors intersect off-center creates a more relaxed feel for Thanksgiving. The white and gold contrast nicely with the blue, creating fun fall nails that can easily transition into winter. These nails are perfect for balancing sophistication with a fun seasonal trend.

Cozy Nail Art

Create a cozy nail design by replicating a chunk cable sweater using 3D Studio Gel™. Selecting the middle and fourth finger on each hand, apply Eve builder gel as you would for a regular manicure. Then apply a matte top coat and cure it using 3D gel to create a symmetrical design of a chunky sweater. After it is cured, lightly dust a clear acrylic powder on top and brush away the excess, giving the nails a textured look. On the remaining nails, apply our fiery, Arabian silk-looking nail polish.

Autumn Ombre Nails

Combine several fall brown nail gels for a Thanksgiving ombre nail set. Apply the three gel polishes from dark to light, starting at the base of the nail. Using our Ombre 01 Brush, lightly pull the colors toward the tip, blending them together for a subtle transition. Repeat the process before applying Extreme Shine Top Coat. Apply our Iced Chrome Pigment for the final glazed effect.

Fun Thanksgiving Nail Art

Create a cute Thanksgiving design for your client's nails using classic fall symbols: leaves, acorns, and mushrooms. Use a nude or light base color, such as Doe, for all the nails. With a Detail 01 and Detail 02 Brush, create the fall icons, balancing the design with festive leaves in brown, yellow, and orange. Red can be used on the leaves or for the mushrooms; be careful not to overpower the soft brown designs. This is a more intricate Thanksgiving nail design, resulting in a fun, cute tribute to the fall season.

Milky Brown Nail Gel

Try a chocolaty brown set for a timeless, fall-inspired nail look. Using our Mocha gel polish, paint most of the nails brown, and leave two nails for a stunning marble design. Apply the Almond and Blooming Gel polishes, and watch how the colors just swirl together. These soft swirls bring cozy, relaxed vibes to the Thanksgiving table.

Tortie Fall Nails

Tortie nails are the embodiment of fall. The warm browns blend together like freshly brewed coffee and cream on a cool, crisp morning. Mix and match tortoiseshell nails by painting various French tips and a reverse French nail plus full brown nails.
