13 Holiday Nail Polish Gift Sets Guaranteed to Slay Secret Santa This Season

One of the biggest bangs for your buck when it comes to nail polish kits, Sephora Collection's sextant of shades comes in packaging that's just as cute as the shades themselves. For the price of your afternoon desk salad, you can give yourself or a loved one a slew of must-have colors including red, white, eggplant purple, light mauve, and glittering gold — all with a glossy topcoat to seal your new shades. 

Now, 
this bundle of 25 gel polishes from Aprés isn't cheap, but if anyone you know is as close to a professional nail artist as one can get without actually being a licensed technician, then this gift will be the most useful thing they'll receive this year. With the right tools for a gel manicure, like an at-home UV lamp and acetone for removal, these 25 shades can help create countless looks, whether solid and simple or graphic and elaborate. 

If you wear nail polish in any capacity, then you'll never not need a high-quality base coat and topcoat on hand (literally). That's what makes this duo of Gel Lab Pro staples from Deborah Lippmann such a genius gift to yourself or another — you know for sure it'll go to good use over and over again.  

A French manicure is far easier to do at home than one would think, thanks to this handy kit from Nails Inc. The French Mani Hack Nail Polish Set includes not just the pink and white shades that go into every traditional French but also a stamp for the tips. That means no fumbling with unsteady hands while you try to draw those thin, curved lines. 

OK, so this nail polish set really only has one nail polish in it — but we had to give this Inc.credible kit a shoutout because of its coordinating makeup moment. To match the brand's Cosmic Blur nail polish, a pearlescent formula with shimmers that shift between blue and pink, this kit provides an equally shimmery highlighter that can be applied to the cheeks, lips, and eyes. 

Any manicure obsessive who's short on time or storage space might cry tears of joy when you hand them 
Le Mini Macaron's compact solution to the at-home gel manicure. With a tiny gel lamp, a three-in-one nail polish shade (it serves as a base coat, color, and topcoat all at one and comes in eight color options), and a few must-have application tools, the 1-Step Gel Manicure Kit provides a salon experience without the fuss. 

This Disney-branded nail polish vault surprisingly isn't based on cartoon princes and princesses but rather desserts from around the world — consider it the Epcot solution to manicures. These 11 miniature nail polish shades are inspired by lychee ice cream (red), sticky toffee (metallic copper), macaroons (silver glitter), maple candy (mint green), baklava (cobalt blue), funnel cake (shimmery ivory), and more.

Few brands have as many truly iconic nail polish shades as OPI has made over the past few decades — and with this 10-piece set of miniature polishes, you can have your hand at them all. Lincoln Park After Dark, Big Apple Red, Alpine Snow, and Mod About You are just a few of the everlasting names that have made a home in this gift set. 

We don't know of a single manicure devotee who could ever say no to a set of four best-selling nail polishes from Essie — the brand is a perpetual Best of Beauty winner, after all. With this convenient kit, you can experience three of Essie's top colors plus its reliable glossy topcoat. 

Press-on nails certainly don't qualify as actual nail polish, but Pear Nova's collaboration with Marvel is so good that we felt the need to include this trio anyway. We might be cheating, but that's exactly how it feels to get elaborate nail-art designs such as these ones with little to no time or effort… so it's only fitting. 

Yet another set of press-on nails, the Soo Retro! collection offers five different designs inspired by the 1970s. These colorful, curvy, graphic designs have been wildly trendy for the past couple of years, and they're not going anywhere anytime soon, so this bundle will last your giftee well into 2023.
