I used mostly jelly polishes, since parts of the images were coloured using the leadlight technique. I tried to use fall colours for an earthy, autumnal feel, however I feel it still seems kind of bright, due to the white background!

I was a touch disappointed with my selection of Thanksgiving plates, because I hadn't realized until now that I didn't have anything that specifically said 'Happy Thanksgiving'. After doing a bit of research, I don't even think there is a readily available 'Happy Thanksgiving' plate on the market right now!? I did see a Messy Mansion plate with a collage of Thanksgiving related words, but that's the closest so far.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Overall, I like how this manicure turned out. I especially love the grain of wheat on my ring finger! I'm going to have to see if I can work that into future, non-themed manicures! LOL!

Anyways, I want to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of those who are celebrating today! Enjoy your day!
