The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Nail Lover In Your Life
From affordable stocking stuffers to luxe finds.
Everyone knows at least one friend who always has a fresh manicure or pedicure in the trendiest color — like “cherry mocha girl” burgundy or Hailey Bieber-approved sapphire blue. And if you’re currently making a shopping list for the holiday season, I promise that a nail-centric gift will *always* bring that friend immense joy.
IMO, the best gifts are items you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself (be it too expensive or impractical) but are things you’d really love to have anyway.
For a nail aficionado, something like the Hermès Nourishing Oil luxuriously packaged in the design house’s iconic orange box would fit the bill. Similarly, a single polish shade from Chanel is a thoughtful splurge for a loved one who may not think to purchase it for themselves.
You could also opt for a buzzy gift set, like the entire OPI x Wicked Nail Lacquer collection, which comes with each color in adorable mini form.
From affordable stocking stuffers to luxe sets that need no wrapping paper, keep scrolling to find the only gift guide you’ll need for the nail lover in your life.
