5 Nail Colors Perfect for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the first time you’ll be seeing your friends and family after months of being away from school—so looking great is a must. You already know how to pamper yourself in-flight (so you land looking amazing), and have already thought about your outfits for Thanksgiving dinner. But we’re here to remind you not to forget about the finishing touches—it’s all about detail, which means you need to have perfectly manicured fingers, too! Below are our favorite colors for Thanksgiving, so you can head to dinner look totally polished and festive! 

1. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Quartz ($27)

This gorgeous metallic champagne color is a great option if you’re going for sophisticated, yet celebratory.

2. Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Brick House ($18)

This nail polish reminds us of autumn leaves (as in, it’s ideal for the season!) and would look great paired with navy accessories. 

3. Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Viridian ($23.53)

We love the deep green of this jewel-toned polish—it’s unexpected, but pairs well with the fall colors you’ll likely be wearing this season. 

4. Essie polish in Very Cranberry ($8.50)

An homage to the quintessential Thanksgiving side dish: Cranberry sauce. This polish is a nice balance of red and pink tones. 

5. Ciaté Pain Pot in Pecan Pie ($15)

Behold a nail polish after our hearts-and our sweet tooth! This brown shade is subtle, but elegant—and even the name is perfect for Thanksgiving

Which polish will you be wearing with your Thanksgiving ensemble this year, collegiettes?
