14 Nail Polish Gift Sets That Pros and Editors Recommend

Olive & June 25 Days of Mani Magic Calendar ($75)

"Advent calendars are really a gift that keeps on giving. The Olive & June 25 Days of Mani Magic Calendar contains 25 days of treats inside and everything you need to perfect your at-home manicure. Behind the pink doors are mini polishes, top coats, nail stickers, and a variety of must-have tools. And, the house-shaped box itself doubles as festive decor." — Jessica Harrington, senior editor, beauty

Essie Holiday Trio Gift Set ($12)

"If someone you love is obsessed with holiday nails, the Essie Holiday Trio Gift Set is the perfect pick. It comes with three shades that can either be worn on their own or mixed and matched and layered together. Whether you're in need of a present to give your nail-lover bestie, or if you just want a set that's perfect for yourself, this pick is a fan favorite." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Deborah Lippmann Bed of Roses Nail Polish Set ($39)

"I'm a nude polish girl through and through, so when it comes time to get a manicure, I'll always sport something pared down and chic. I love this Deborah Lippmann Bed of Roses Nail Polish Set because it comes with an entire set of polishes I would actually wear, especially now that I'm taking a break from gel manicures." — RR

Lilac St. Press-On Nails ($14-18)

"I don't go to the nail salon often, so I love trying out different press-on nails. That being said, I'm not great at applying them (aka handling a nail glue pen). Thankfully, the new press-on nails from Lilac St. come with brush-on nail glue that allows for better control. Lilac St.'s line of press-ons come in different shapes, lengths, and fun designs that are sure to delight — like this French manicure set with star accents." — Alida Araica, newsletter manager

Dazzle Dry Starter Mini Kit ($40)

"Dazzle Dry starter sets are my favorite gifts to give year-round, but especially at the holidays. I love introducing this revolutionary nail polish system to new people and I still have friends thanking me for turning them on to Dazzle Dry years later." — Mazz Hanna, CEO of Nailing Hollywood

Pink Friday Moment 4 Mattes ($15)

"Let's be real: not everyone has the time to visit the nail salon for a full set, nor has the skill to master doing their own nails at home (I know I don't). That's where press-on nails come in handy. I'm especially obsessed with Nicki Minaj's nail-care brand Pink Friday because they have the cutest sets with the most intricate nail art. The website has plenty of options to choose from, but I often go for a simple, pared-back look, which is why I love the Moment 4 Mattes set in white. Gift these to anyone you know who loves having their nails done but needs a simpler way to cross the task off their to-do list." — RR

Aprés Gel-X Nail Extension Kit ($126)

"This is the ultimate soft gel extension kit that has all the tools you need to easily apply gel extensions at home. The kit is perfectly curated for those who would like to try out the gel extension system for the first time." — San Sung Kim, Nailing Hollywood nail artist

Le Mini Macaron 12 Days of Nails Advent Calendar ($68)

"If you or someone you love is obsessed with DIY gels, the Le Mini Macaron Advent calendar is the perfect gift. It features everything you need to give yourself a gel mani at home, including a variety of polishes, an LED lamp, and products for both prep and removal." — MH

Olive and June The Mani System (Price varies)

"This set is perfect for those who want an all-in-one lacquer system that is customizable and comes with all the tools for the perfect manicure. You can even choose your favorite polishes and additional products to complete your system." — SSK

Manicurst Advent Calendar ($139, originally $320)

"This gift set is amazing because it has 24 full days of fun treats to unbox. There are a variety of nail products like nail art tools, polishes, loose glitters, and my favorite nail buffer ever. The perfect gift for the nail lover in your life. As an added bonus, it's non-toxic and about as clean as a nail polish can get." — MH

Gelcare Pedicure Kit ($46)

"This kit for GelCare has everything you need to perform the best pedicure of your life in the privacy of [your] home. Their revolutionary spray on callus remover and fine grit pedicure file made from fine grit Japanese sandpaper is luxurious and special and will leave your feet baby soft." — MH

Static Nails Perfect Nudes Palette ($49)

"The Static Nails Perfect Nudes Palette is perfect for someone who loves a clean-looking mani. It comes with seven different nude shades as an introduction to this high-quality brand. Maybe they work somewhere where they can't sport anything bright but still want to play around each week with a different nude; maybe they are looking for the perfect wedding shade. Full disclosure: I wore each of these colors week after week waiting for my engagement to happen. Needless to say, when the moment finally arrived, my nails were picture perfect." — Erica Hipp, Nailing Hollywood nail artist

Lights Lacquer Complete Artist Set ($63, originally 69)

"If you have a nail-art enthusiast in your life, this comprehensive set of tools has everything you need to make the nail art of your dreams." — MH

Marian Skincare The Set ($125)

"I love The Set by Marian Skincare. It includes their full line of anti-aging skin-care products specifically designed for hands: a moisturizing hand cream, a luxurious scrub, and a hydrating nighttime treatment. It's an elevated and unique gift that goes above and beyond the typical gift set." — Laura Malarkey, Nailing Hollywood nail artist and celebrity manicurist
