Nails are the unsung hero of the holiday season. They sparkle in the fluorescent kitchen lighting as you stir the mashed potatoes. They take a starring role in your obligatory Thanksgiving plate pic. And they’ll give your cousins something to stare at as you tell them a 37-minute-long story about the frat star who ghosted you but still watches all your Snap Stories. So, ya, you need to plan out some sickening nail art for November 26.
