Operations associate, Loren, has a thing for nails- and we can’t blame her. We love reading about new finishes and fun techniques, so we thought we’d give her a weekly slot on our blog to wax poetic about all things manicure (and pedicure!) related. Check back every Thursday for Nailing It, Birchbox’s dedicated polish series.

Happy Turkey Day! In the spirit of one of my most favorite (and most yummy) holidays, I decided to get together some great nail ideas that you can show off at the dinner table. These designs will make your turkey-slicing or pie-cutting hand the envy of the fork-holders at the table around you!

 By far the best on my list is Refinery 29. They recently posted some great nail art designs ranging from fall foliage to cherry pie – yum! You can check out their how-to guide here. WAH Nails also has an elaborate pilgrim and Native American-inspired mani for today’s holiday that sure makes me thankful for patience and precision.

For those of you looking for something a little more subtle, there are plenty of options! Just pick a festive harvest color, like Essie Very Structured or Zoya Yara. Red is also one of my favorite go-to’s and is perfect for any season - Zoya Sookior Deborah Lippmann My Old Flame are perfect options too!

Whether you’re rocking a mani or not, we all have a lot to be thankful for this year. So say your graces, get your forks ready, and dig in!

What are you wearing on your nails today?
