Thanksgiving!

What are you thankful for?
 
This design will display the most iconic Thanksgiving animal: the turkey.
 
Colors you will need:
-brown
-red
-tan
-orange
-white
-black
-color of your choice (I used plum)
-sparkle polish (optional)
-clear coat
 
To begin, paint all your nails a color of your choice. I recommend doing a darker color, such as red, purple, navy, or maroon. It makes the look more festive!
 
After that, you may add sparkles to all of your nails except the ring finger. This is optional, but it really makes it look cheerful.
 
Now, on your ring finger, begin by making feathers for the turkey.
You may use any colors you want, but reds, tans, and oranges look the best.
Start by painting an orange line down the middle.
Then two tan lines next to the orange with a slight angle.
And Finally two red lines next to the tan with a distinct angle.
 
For the turkey, take a brown polish and simply make a large half circle at the bottom of your nail.
Then make a smaller circle on top of that for a head.
 
Add two small white dots and then two black dots in them for eyes and pupils!
 
Then add a beak with a small dab of orange under the eyes.
 
You may add a red line next to the beak if you prefer!
 
And you're ready for all the food and festivities!♥
