The coolest thing about this nail polish gift set is that the colors are all celebratory shades that are perfect to wear during the holiday season. And this six-piece set is a steal for just $41 (one bottle is usually around $9).

“I would consider this one of the greatest nail polish purchases on Amazon I’ve made so far,” wrote one satisfied reviewer. And with 15 glossy and beautiful shades, we can see why they feel that way! This nail polish set is perfect for a friend who loves creating multi-colored manicures.

The only thing better than giving your beauty-obsessed loved one a gift card to Sephora? Wrapping up this six-piece bed of roses nail polish set in a cute box so they can get a rosy-hued mani-pedi anytime. Among the shades, they’ll find full coverage and sheer options.

If you know someone who has fragile nails due to excessive acrylic use, give them this liquid glass nail lacquer set. The polishes are formulated with rich pigments and natural ingredients like rosehip, marula oil, and balm mint to help nourish and promote healthy nails. The set also comes with 10-pieces in total, including a clear primer and topcoat.

Give your favorite person ever this six-piece best-of-the-best mini nail polish set. It features the top-rated shades from Julep and comes packaged in a cute pink box. The formula also dries quickly and is designed to allow 30% more oxygen to permeate the nail bed (meaning it will dry faster) than other nail polishes.

With a 4.6-star rating, this holiday nail polish quad will keep their nails party-ready all season long. The set includes deep purple, brown, and two metallic purple and gold shades. The formulas are also vegan-friendly and long-lasting.

For a reasonable $42, they’ll get a seven-piece nail polish gift set featuring galaxy-inspired shades like Out of this Pearl, Saturn It Up, Neblue-la, and O-Zone You Didn't. Reviewers have also noted that the polishes go on smoothly and last for about seven days without chips or cracks. 

This set includes six nail polishes in creamy and shimmering finishes; each one matches the color of a calming ingredient such as lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile—and smells like it too. How cool is that!

Gel manicures are a go-to thanks to their staying power. And with this kit, the person on your list can create a salon-worthy nail look at any time. Featuring one gel polish, a macaroon-shaped light, one cuticle stick, and more—this kit makes it easy to save money and time without having to go to the salon.

A four-piece set of the prettiest cool-toned neutral shades for the person who’s more laidback. The complementary colors included (taupe, sage green, dusty blush, and blue nude) are perfect for trend-ticking tips. Each shade is 21-free, long-wearing, and rapid-drying.

Keeping up with gel manicures can get pricey. Fortunately, this gel polish pro kit comes with everything they’ll need to complete their manicure at home. They’ll find a LED dryer, gel polish remover, gel polishes, and cuticle oil inside the kit.

This holiday essentials kit features four luxury classic nail shades, a fast-drying topcoat, and cuticle oil to complete each manicure. We also love that the polishes come packaged in a beautiful pink and blue box. 

Few things are as satisfying as a fresh manicure, and with this winter nail set, the recipient will be able to create new manicures whenever they please. The seven polishes have a salon-quality long-lasting formula that is "7-free," vegan, and cruelty-free. Each brush has a wide, fan-shaped brush that makes painting super easy. 

A glossy red manicure will instantly put them in the holiday spirit. This duo of nail lacquers from Mischo Beauty, a vegan-friendly brand, includes stunning high shine red and pink hues. They can mix and match the shades for a custom festive mani or simply wear one shade on its own.

Nail polish sets can come with colors that they wouldn’t necessarily choose for themselves—fortunately, this set allows you to choose your own four favorite colors. The polishes will also come packaged in a beautiful handmade floral-printed tote.

Formulated with everyone’s well-being in mind, Sunday’s non-toxic polishes offer a range of timeless colors. And you can customize their gift box with five polishes based on their preferences. We also love that the polishes are designed with a perfect bottle shape for grip and a professional-grade flat brush for precise swipes.
