Hope you all are having a fabulous Thanksgiving week so far, and have a lot of fun (and food) planned for tomorrow! I wanted to do a Thanksgiving water marble this year, and although it turned out a bit differently than expected, I am still really pleased with the results.

I started off with two coats of
OPI Take the Stage from last year's Burlesque collection, which is also the polish I used for
last year's Thanksgiving Day nails. After trying a
lot of combinations of polish that refused to play nicely with marbling, I settled on
OPI Cheyenne Pepper, OPI Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window, and
China Glaze Mommy Kissing Santa for water marbling. This gave a fairly muted effect on some nails, stronger on others, but overall there is a nice fall feeling. Then I topped with a coat of
Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, and added Konad using
Essie Little Brown Dress and leaves from
BM04.

As I said, this is not exactly what I was envisioning originally but I do enjoy the final effect. I love what Hidden Treasure brings to this manicure. It kind of looks like all of the colors you might see in the leaves this time of the year, and I love that. A great fall - and Thanksgiving - manicure.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow! What are your big plans? We have two different family meals we are going to, so I know I will be completely stuffed by the end of the day. I am so excited to spend time with everyone though, and then for the Christmas season to officially begin! :)
So beautiful! I love autumn patterns like maple leaves!
