Tips for Making Pumpkin Pie Nails Last

Tiny artwork like lattice lines, plaid checks and miniature slices sits on the surface of the nail, so seal it under a glossy top coat and refresh that coat every few days. Warm shades such as orange and caramel can fade in strong light and stain pale nail beds, so always start with a base coat, wear gloves for washing up and the Thanksgiving cooking, and keep cuticle oil nearby — hydrated nails hold detailed art far longer.

From one small slice on a sky-blue accent to a full lattice crust across all ten nails, pumpkin pie proves dessert makes excellent nail art. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your manicure match the menu.
