Almond is my most-filed shape this time of year, that soft, tapered tip gives every warm Thanksgiving tone a little extra elegance without losing any of the season’s coziness. It’s the shape I recommend when a client isn’t sure what she wants yet.
The tapered tip also does something nice for color specifically, warm tones like terracotta and olive catch light differently across a curve, which is part of why almond photographs so well this season.
Here are the 25 Thanksgiving almond nails my clients keep requesting.
Classic Almond Length for the Holiday
Medium almond is the sweet spot for most of my clients this season, enough length to feel special, short enough to still function through hosting duties.
Long Almond for a Statement Set
For clients wanting more presence at the table, long almond gives Thanksgiving colors a lot more surface to show off.
Thanksgiving Almond French Tip
The tapered tip on almond gives a warm-toned French line a naturally soft curve, my favorite combination for the holiday.
Almond with Warm Metallic Accents
Gold and bronze wrap beautifully around almond’s curved tip, giving Thanksgiving colors a completely different, richer personality.
Short Almond for Everyday Hosting
Even at a shorter length, almond keeps that same elongating effect, my top recommendation for clients who want the shape but not the length.
