Haute Holiday Nails Gift Guide

Nail trends change with each season. Summer was pastel pink and solid white, fall was sophisticated with every shade in a deep matte, and this winter season, sultry reds, purples, and dark nudes are taking over. Don’t shy away from caviar manis and glitter polish though, they’ll be just as popular as the classic holiday red.

Nail polish makes the perfect stocking stuffer, and it’s the perfect gift to hand out to your squad. Every girl loves a new bottle of polish, especially during the holiday season when there are so many parties to attend. We’ve included our favorite brands of nail polish, along with the best way to give each as a gift.

The only thing better than receiving nail polish is receiving a never before seen shade of lipstick with it. Zoya’s Lips & Tips Holiday Gift Sets are neatly packaged featuring three seasonal shades of polish with a new shade of lipstick to match. The sets come in Red, Nude, Rose, Berry, and Plum. Our personal favorite is the Berry kit. The lipstick is in between red and plum, which is a nice change of pace when you need a dependable lipstick for the day-today. Zoya also offers a Mini-Cure Set, including the key components of Zoya’s Color Lock System, which keeps manicures flawless for up to ten days.

We tried out an assortment of nail shades by whim, and we were blown away by how glossy each coat turned out. The reason for this is that each bottle goes on like a gel, giving you that perfect, high-shine manicure, while nail polish remover will take it off effortlessly, unlike actual gel nails. Our favorite shade is Pink Tulle, a solid pale pink that every girl should own. Find more shades at Ulta.
