Tips for Making Thanksgiving Nails Last All Weekend

Holiday cooking is hard on a manicure, so seal detailed art like turkeys and script with a glossy top coat and reapply it the night before the big day. Wear gloves for washing up, keep cuticle oil nearby to fight dry kitchen air, and choose gel or a rubber-base coat if your nails will be kneading, chopping and opening jars. Rich shades like cranberry and chocolate can stain, so never skip the base coat.

Whether you go full gobble-glam or keep it to a whisper of gold, a Thanksgiving manicure is a small way to celebrate a big season. Save your favourites, book that appointment, and give thanks in full colour.
