There are few things I love being gifted with more than nail polish. Unlike most things in life, too much nail polish is only barely enough. As someone who loves painting their nails, I’m always happy to welcome a new shade to my collection. Sure, I might already have red nail polish, but do I have the perfect red to wear for that occasion where I need a blue-toned scarlet with a hint of gold shimmer? Probably not.
Nail polish sets are the perfect holiday gift because they’re small, practical, and won’t break the bank. With its stellar packaging and dreamy combinations, no one does nail polish sets quite like OPI. I’ve gone ahead and rounded up the best OPI sets for everyone in your life, whether they already own a nail salon’s worth of polish or occasionally put on a coat of nude. Trust me—there’s a set that’s right for everyone.
No, it’s not impossible to buy nail polish for the friend who already has enough polish to start their own nail salon. This set is filled with colors that are quintessential for this holiday season.
The best part about this 10-piece set is that it covers all the bases. There are nudes, pinks, reds, and a few more fun colors that can easily become staples too.
Or just your friend with the best earring collection who likes to play with color.
It doesn’t get much more pragmatic than a base coat, topcoat, and universal neutral. Whether your friend works a high-powered job or just knows how important it is to be sensible, this set will fit the bill.
Not only are the colors gorgeous, but OPI’s Nature Strong collection is the brand’s foray into natural-origin vegan nail lacquer. Give it to your friend who loves dogs and has a crystal collection.
Though it may be simple, this set screams glamour, so it’s only fitting to give it to the most glamorous person in your life.
Give these wine-inspired colors to the friend who won’t stop correcting you when you call skin-contact wine “orange wine.”
In the words of notable nail polish lover Elle Woods, “whoever said orange is the new pink is seriously disturbed.”
A color inspired by the Big Apple itself is the perfect gift for your city-dwelling friend.
As a person who loves getting a gel manicure until it’s 9 p.m. on a Tuesday and I desperately want to take it off, I think this gift is genius.
Your friend knows that the only two nail colors they’ll ever need are blue-toned red and light pink.
No matter what, you can’t go wrong by gifting with a base coat and a topcoat. OPI’s are long-wearing, chip-resistant, and won’t bubble.
Made for neutral lovers, this set will complement your friend’s spotless white couch.
These colors are perfect for the friend who always has an iced coffee in hand, is booked for SoulCycle tomorrow morning, and frequents Erewhon.
Your friend is constantly memorializing everything, so get them a set of nail polish in 2021’s Pantone colors of the year so they can remember the very strange year it’s been.
You already have the perfect gift for this person; you just need that perfect finishing touch. This nail polish ornament is just what you’ve been looking for.
This set will go with your friend’s cherry earrings.
It doesn’t get much more classic than a set of sheer pink polishes. Each of these colors wouldn’t be out of place at high tea at the Plaza hotel.
Glitz, glamour, and tons of shine. Plus, this set would look gorgeous on a vanity. Up next, I Love Expensive-Looking Nails, and This Polish Brand Is My Secret Weapon
