Nail polish colors to give for Christmas
At Christmas, color is always a good idea! Timeless, luminous or bold, nail polishes are among those little gifts that bring instant joy and can be worn long after the holidays.
This year, the exclusive Holidays 26 collection celebrates light and the iconic colors of Christmas with three new shades available in Green™ classic nail polish and Green Flash™ LED Gel Polish. Three colors designed to elevate festive manicures and make every wish shine:
- Amour: a light, luminous burgundy nail polish with ruby accents. An elegant, precious shade, perfect for warming up winter looks and adding a touch of glamour to Christmas Eve outfits. Guaranteed to win hearts!
- Emerald: a deep, intense fir green, inspired by the brilliance of precious stones. We love its sophisticated look, worn on its own or brightened up with gold French tips for an ultra chic Christmas manicure.
- Bliss: an opaque pearly white polish with iridescent shimmer, as delicate as a frosted landscape. Ideal for lighting up nails with a veil of shimmer, it can be worn alone for a frosted nails effect or used as the backdrop for inspiring nail art.
Amour, Emerald, Bliss: three nail polish colors that are both iconic and sophisticated to light up Christmas 2026.
Can’t choose? Create your own color palette with the Green™ or Green Flash™ Trio Collections gift sets, which let you pick three shades to suit the tastes of the person you’re spoiling.
For true color lovers, it’s all about Rainbow Collections and its five polishes from the Holidays 26, Grand Canyon or Electric Feel collections. Festive, natural or vibrant shades to mix and match depending on your mood and the occasion. The perfect way to make the Christmas magic last all year long!

Gift ideas to pamper your nails
What if this year, we also gave a little time for ourselves? Because beautiful nails start with well cared for nails, manicure care products are among the most thoughtful beauty gift ideas to slip under the tree.
With the Active™ range, Manucurist reinvents nail care by taking inspiration from makeup. Glow, highlighter, blurring or perfecting effects, these hybrid care polishes combine targeted active ingredients with beautifying finishes to reveal the natural beauty of your nails.
Their little extra? They’re applied directly to bare nails, with no Base Coat or Top Coat, and air dry for a buildable result depending on the number of coats. A beauty routine that’s as simple as it is effective!
For a first discovery
Looking for a little gesture that will really make someone happy? Go for the Mini Active™ Duo, which brings together an Active™ Shine Icy and an Active™ Glow Blueberry in travel size. Ideal for discovering the effects of the Active™ range, switching up finishes and adopting new beauty habits. A lovely gift idea for a Secret Santa, a little surprise between friends or simply to introduce a loved one to the pleasure of nail care. Small gift, big love!
For a festive touch
Calling all fans of luminous manicures: the new Active™ Shine Icy promises to make nails sparkle all through the festive season!
Inspired by the highlighters in our makeup bag, this beautifying care polish dresses nails in a milky shade with glittery reflections for an ultra desirable frosted effect, like snowflakes.
But behind its luminous finish lies a caring formula enriched with beet extract, hexanal and AHAs. A blend of active ingredients designed to strengthen nails while enhancing their natural radiance.
One coat for a subtle touch of light, several to intensify the icy nails effect: everyone can choose their own glow! An ideal gift for clean nails fans who want to add a festive twist to their manicure, without giving up on care.
To adopt the routine and go further
For anyone who wants to turn nail care into a true beauty ritual, the Starter Kit Active™ is the perfect gift.
This gift set was designed as a complete routine to prep, enhance and care for your nails. It includes three care polishes of your choice, the nail prep essentials and a cuticle oil. The chance to rediscover the pleasure of natural nails, play with subtle, luminous finishes and adopt new everyday beauty habits.
Clever gifts for creating beautiful nail art
Who said you had to be a professional nail artist to create a festive manicure? With the right accessories, just a few simple steps are enough to turn a pretty color into ultra creative Christmas nail art.
For a quick result, we’re smitten with the Nail Art Holidays stickers. Inspired by the festive spirit of Christmas, they let you personalize a manicure in seconds, with no brush or special technique needed.
Want some extra sparkle? The Rhinestone Nail Art stickers add a festive detail and a precious touch to your fingertips. Placed as an accent on a single finger or delicately spread across several nails, they catch the light and instantly give your manicure a whole new dimension.
Our Christmas nail art inspiration? An Emerald fir green base on all nails, a Holidays sticker on the ring finger and a little rhinestone on another finger. A subtle yet incredibly chic play of details, reminiscent of the sparkling decorations on the tree.
