While polish and jewelry might be the ultimate holiday gifts, your favorite textured and organic salon-grade products really make the experience of getting ready all the more exciting. In fact, it’s safe to say that buying expensive things (as in, full-bladed brow pencils and foundations) often translates into a mini home-makeover too, because it’s easy to devour several bottles at once.

Take one look at any winter beauty board on Instagram (whether you’re a super-nerdy social media fiend or just love photo-nail-painting tutorials), and you’ll find nail polish offerings that are not only functional, but awesome-looking too. Don’t worry: you can have your French manicure (and stick to it!) while trying out new, trendier colors. When you’re all done staring at your open mani box, consider ordering a DIY nail polish in your favorite lipstick shade to create a personalized shade. Here are five of our favorite nail trends to get you started.
