Pardon? You want to do your nails with something that has pumpkin or cinnamon in it? Like a soak for your nails? Are u sure you mean manicure?

i have never heard of a manicure recipe. do tell.

Never heard of "recipes" for it, but you can add any essential oil to any water for most any thing. Watch out for dark colors of oils staining white nails or polish, and I'd use the oil lightly, regardless. Is this what you had in mind? Pumpkin fragrances/aromas are mostly cinnamon anyway, right? So, don't rely on the powdered cinnamon, and use the oil instead.

Spiced cocoa and coffee sugar scrub
1/2 c sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp ground coffee
pinch of cinamon and nutmeg
2 tbsp oil--canola, sunflower, olive what ever you have

In a dish mix together sugar, cocoa, coffee, and spices, drizzle in the oil slowly until you have your desired srub consistency. Apply to skin in circular motion to exfoliate and moisturize, rinse well

There are a ton of sites out there to get the recipes...if you are a licensed manicurist or nail tech, there are also a ton of magazines for it! If you are not aware of this, MANY spas and salons are now doing "special made" pedi's and mani's for their clients...I do a Champagne & Chocolate special in February!!
