Aside from the festive feast, one of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner is the chance to showcase your fall style. Whether you're wearing a cozy sweater, a cute fall dress, or showing off one of Ree Drummond's favorite fall fashions, there's no better way to accessorize than with some festive Thanksgiving nails.

Ahead, you'll find the best fall manicures to choose from, with ideas for every taste, including neutral or solid color nails as well as some more dramatic options with cute art that nods to the holiday season. Think pumpkins, falling leaves, acorns, and even a couple of manicures with tiny turkeys! There are also some designs that are a little less on the nose, like an "autumn kisses" manicure featuring an all-over lip print in everyone's favorite fall colors, or a pumpkin pie-inspired manicure featuring bright orange polish and creamy half moons and tips reminiscent of whipped cream topping.

The best thing about these designs is that they're all relatively simple so even beginners can try them as an at-home manicure. No matter which manicure you choose, it's sure to impress everyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table!
