Turkey Dance

Alas, the gap in nail art happened as predicted, but at least you had some warning this time, my poor reader! Today’s look was obviously in celebration of the United State’s Thanksgiving. Honestly, it’s a bit of a problematic holiday to me considering the story we tell about it compared to the reality so I wished most people “Happy Food Day” instead of “Happy Thanksgiving”. It is mostly a food day for me now that we’ve moved away from family. My husband made a truly good spread (no turkey) and I helped with a few dishes and cleaned up whenever he was resting. It was a good day. I hope yours was too.

Google Chrome has continued to made an argument for abandoning it for a different browser and has managed to freeze on me six times while trying to write this post. Because a few more barriers to publishing won’t make a difference right now, right? 😅

I bought the base polish (Cupcake Polish’s “Dream Phone”) two years ago because I thought it was truly unusual and utterly gorgeous. I’m so happy I finally got to use it. That strong pop of magenta is just so pretty. And it was fun to post something so colorfully iconic with such a silly subject. Someone asked if the turkeys were dancing or fighting. While I think the stamping plate maker meant it to be a dance, my stamping two turkeys and flipping one so it looked like they were interacting with each other really opened the door to interpretation.

What do you think? A dance to the death with an oven ending for the loser or just some silly turkeys celebrating with us? 🤣
