The holidays are officially here — and with them comes the annual search for thoughtful, beautiful gifts that feel personal without the stress of last-minute shopping. If you’re gifting someone who loves beauty, self-care, or the joy of a fresh manicure, you’re in the right place.

At Virgo & Gem, we created this holiday gift guide to make your Christmas gifting easier, cozier, and a whole lot more fun. Whether you’re shopping for your glam best friend, your minimalist sister, your DIY-obsessed coworker, or that one person who “already has everything,” you’ll find something special here.

From bestselling nail dip powder kits to dreamy shades and holiday-ready sets — these gifts are guaranteed to make their season sparkle.

And this year, we’re finally revealing something extra magical…

You’ll see it below. ✨

For the DIY Nail Lover: Nail Dip Powder Kits

If there’s someone in your life who loves doing their own nails — or has always wanted to learn — a nail dip powder kit is the ultimate holiday gift. It’s thoughtful, practical, and honestly? It’s the kind of present they’ll talk about all year long.

Dip powder nails are long-lasting, chip-resistant, and easy to apply at home. With a dip powder nail kit from Virgo & Gem, beginners can create salon-level results without needing a UV lamp. It's perfect for cozy nights in, at-home spa days, and anyone who loves a low-maintenance beauty routine.

A few reasons dip kits make the best holiday gifts:

They last longer than gel polish
They’re ideal for winter when people stay indoors
Every kit feels like an at-home pampering experience
You can choose colors that match their personality

Pair it with a wintery shade like a soft pink, rich burgundy, or subtle shimmer — instant holiday magic.

For the Trendsetter: The Complete Dip Powder Starter Kit

If you want a gift that feels premium, complete, and absolutely exciting to unwrap, the Complete Dip Powder Starter Kit is the one. It’s ideal for trendsetters, beauty lovers, and anyone who wants salon-quality nails from the comfort of home.

This beginner-friendly kit dries instantly (no UV needed), lasts up to 3 weeks chip-free, and delivers a smooth, professional finish every time. Plus, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, 13-free, and infused with calcium and vitamin E for stronger natural nails.

What’s Inside:

pH Bond
Base Coat
Activator
Top Coat
Nail File
Cuticle Pusher
Your choice of 2, 4, or 6 dip powder colors
Brush Saver (included in 4-color and 6-color kits)

It’s everything they need for a long-lasting, fuss-free mani — all in one beautifully curated gift box.

For the Gloss Lover: Best Gel Nail Polish Picks

Some people are all about that ultra-sparkly, glass-shine finish. If that’s your giftee, treat them to a set of Virgo & Gem’s gel essentials. Choose shades that fit their personality — bold reds, calm nudes, icy winter palettes — and bundle them with a gel polish base coat for smooth, long-lasting wear.

Why gel polish makes a thoughtful holiday gift:

It offers long-lasting shine
Great for people who love sleek looks
Perfect for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve
Pairs perfectly with a gel polish base coat for a smooth, long-lasting finish

You can even create a custom gel gift set with:

1–3 gel polish shades
A gel polish base coat
A glossy top coat
A nail file
A cuticle pusher and cutter set

Wrap it in a ribbon, and you’ve just created the chicest little holiday bundle.

For the “One Who Has Everything”: Tools, Accessories & Quick-Dry Essentials

We all have that one friend or family member who’s impossible to shop for. They already have everything… or they claim they don’t want anything.

For them, focus on useful, universally loved items — tools and accessories, and Virgo & Gem’s iconic quick-dry top coat.

These essentials make perfect stocking stuffers or mini gift add-ons:

Nail files
Activator & base liquids
Quick-dry top coat (a crowd favorite!)

These items may be small, but they make the biggest difference in someone’s nail routine. They’re thoughtful, practical, and perfect for rounding out a gift bag.

For the Collector: Limited-Edition Shades & Seasonal Colors

Every year, we release a few special shades that fit the winter mood — think soft sparkles, cozy mauves, icy shimmers, classy reds, and festive glitters.

If you're shopping for someone who loves trying new colors (or already owns 30+ shades!), give them something seasonal they can’t get anywhere else.

Seasonal shades feel luxurious, personal, and a little magical — especially during the holidays.
