25 Days of Beauty: Gifts for the Manicure Junkie

December 17, 2014

What do you get for the woman who doesn’t leave the house without her nails done? More nail polish of course! The holidays are when all the good nail polish sets come out — great for gifting to anyone who isn’t freaked out by receiving 12 new polishes all at once. Here’s just a few of our favorites.

Julep Stroke of Midnight Duo, $20

Julep’s web site is packed to the gills with beauty sets this holiday season, ranging from polish duos for $20 to sets of 12 polishes for just under $50. We love the Stroke of Midnight duo — a navy blue and a chunky silver glitter top top — clearly paired with New Year’s Eve in mind.

Essie Holiday Mini Nail Color Kit, $14.99

Is there anything cuter than miniature-sized Essie nail polishes? If there is, we don’t know what it is. This set includes Butler Please (cobalt blue), Bahama Mama (plum), Smoking Hot (mauve grey), Mademoiselle (ballerina pink) and Jazzy Jubilant (multi-colored glitter).

OPI Trend on Ten, $27.50

Any manicure junkie would be thrilled to receive a set of 10 popular OPI polishes ranging from silver to pinks to corals to reds. The gift comes as two sets of five polishes, so you’re completely justified (and thrifty!) to split it up.

Butter London Silver Expectations Duo, $15

Got an angsty teenager in your life? He or she will love Butter London’s Steampunk Ball Silver Expectations duo, featuring a dark burgandy (nearly black) and a shimmery silver. You might even get ’em to crack a smile.
