Paint all nails but the ring finger your own chosen color. I decided to try my new polish :)

Take a Striper to create the head of the turkey

And swipe down the nail with a small curve. This connects the head and the neck

Create your first feather

Second.

Third.

And fourth. You can do your feathers as you want, do a lot, or a little. This is YOUR design, do it as you want :)

Now we will start coloring in the body. You can use a Striper, dotting tool, or toothpick.

Paint in the body with a brown

Color in the feathers white so it gives your colors a good base to create vibrant colors, so they don't blend with the brown

Once your body is dry, take a dotting tool, or toothpick and create two white eyes

While the eyes dry, start coloring your feathers. I chose Red Yellow Green and Orange

Finished feathers

Add a white beak

Add two small dots in the eyes to finish your eyes

Paint the beak orange or yellow

Add top coat

And show off <3

Since I'm not quite as busy, I will be doing tutorials every Sunday, so you can have a fresh mani every week :)

How to create thanksgiving nails

There are quite a few steps in this design, HOWEVER the steps are easy. I found the inspiration on Pinterest but no information on the original artist.
