Thanksgiving Nails: Fall Looks That Last Through the Holiday
For Thanksgiving nails that still look fresh on Sunday, book a gel manicure ($35) by the Tuesday before the holiday. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026, so Tuesday, November 24 gives you a fresh set for dinner and the long weekend after.
Which fall colors work for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving looks best in warm, cozy shades. These are the ones we reach for most this time of year:
- Deep red. Classic, polished and good with any outfit.
- Burgundy. Richer and darker than red, very fall.
- Brown. From milk chocolate to espresso. Warm without being loud.
- Olive. A soft green that feels seasonal and a little different.
- Nude. Quiet and clean, the safe pick if you are not sure.

Easy accents for the holiday
One accent nail or a little shine goes a long way. These extras are on our menu:
| Extra | Price |
|---|---|
| Chrome | $5+ |
| Nail art | $5+ |
| French design | $10 |
Chrome and nail art start at $5 and depend on the design, so ask your technician for the price before you start. Prefer a French look on gel? The gel French manicure is $40.
Gel or regular polish for a long weekend?
A regular manicure is $15 and a gel manicure is $35. Regular polish is great if you like to change colors often. Gel is cured under a lamp, so you leave with dry, hard color and no smudges on the drive home.
For a holiday with cooking, dishes and travel, gel is the easier choice. Our tips on making a gel manicure last help it hold up through the leftovers. Coming in with an old gel set? Add gel removal for $10.
The day before Thanksgiving is a Wednesday, so the Wednesday Special applies: regular manicure, regular pedicure and callus removal for $40.
