Nail Polish Gift Idea & Printable Tags
Nail polish gifts for teens are a fantastic way to share and express their unique style. I’m sharing some of my favorite nail polish gift ideas along with a set of free printable gift tags with you today!
I have a 13-year-old daughter who likes to paint her nails every day. Well, maybe not EVERY day, but it sure seems like it.
The smell of nail polish remover can frequently be found wafting down from her room upstairs. Most of her friends seem to love nail polish as much as she does. They love to talk about nail polish and new patterns to paint, and they collect many different colors of nail polish.
While it doesn’t seem that there are as many birthday parties to go to as when she was younger, my daughter still loves to give her friends gifts on their birthdays.
Gift Ideas for Teens & Tweens
As she has gotten older, we discovered it’s harder to find gifts for her friends. We seem to default to a gift card many times, but sometimes she wants to give them something a little different. So this year, we started giving her friends little nail polish gift sets.
Since she never knows what colors of nail polish her friends already have, we have started making up gift sets with some fun nail polish accessories, too.
Recently, we gave a friend of hers a gift set that had a couple of colors of nail polish and a few fun other things. We designed a little gift that included some extra nail polish remover, a remover dispenser pump, and some nail drying spray. We then created a fun little gift tag to tie on the bag that said “Paint Toes.”
The tag is a little take-off of a Pantone color swatch. At first, I thought that her friends wouldn’t know what that was and that the tag wouldn’t make any sense to them.
Then I realized that they are all on Pinterest 24/7 and, therefore, know what Pantone swatches are. I was able to pick up all of the items at my local Target.
What’s In the Gift Bag?
Nail Polish Drying Spray
Once again, I went with Target’s up & up brand (we are big fans of sunscreen and cleaning supplies). Because of this, I was pretty sure that we’d also love their beauty products. Knowing how many times my daughter has smeared her nail polish before it was dry, I figured that the up & up Nail Polish Drying Spray would be a great addition to the gift bag. The drying spray helps the polish dry faster and leaves a great shine after it’s applied.
Nail Polish Remover
Also, knowing how many times we have “accidentally” spilled nail polish remover, we put in the up & up Dispenser Pump. You fill the pump with remover, then use a cotton ball on the top to “pump” the remover out. No more tipping the bottle and potentially spilling the nail polish remover.
Nail Polish
Of course, we included a few different colors of nail polish! There are so many fun colors to choose from now as compared to when I was a teen!
Gift Tags for the Nail Polish Gift
I designed the tags for the nail polish in 2 different sizes: one size that’s perfect for attaching to a large gift bag and a smaller size that’s just right for a single bottle of nail polish.
I think this little size makes for a really fun “thinking of you” gift not just for a teen, I know a lot of adults that would love it too.
If you’d like to make your own little nail polish gifts, you can download the large and the small gift tags over in the Printable Library!

I love fall colors like gray and blue!
Melissa, your 13 year old sounds a lot like my 15 year old… they must be best buddies! My teen likes to swipe my nail polishes from my bathroom drawer. Every one in the house knows when she is using nail polish. I have always been the “classic pink” gal but my glam teen girl loves to venture out to all those new hues there is now a days. She encourages me to try the new colors out there…and I just might do that soon and hope to not feel too awkward =/

I am not much of a nail polish person, I love all colors but not on myself. With daily chores, it is almost impossiblel to keep them intact on so I just give up on this luxury.

I am totally traditional when it comes to nail polish I like the reds and browns I do not like blue.
I love all of the fall colors like grey, dark blue, and even black. When summer rolls around, mint and bright pinks are my favorite.
I love trying new things! Fun colors make me excited 😀
I love all of the fun new colors! Thanks for the fun gift idea!

I’m more of a traditional girl with the reds and plum colors
I’ve never been much of a red/pink nail polish person, probably because I was a metalhead during my impressionable teen years and painted my nails black. 🙂 So I LOVE all the new colors. My favorite, though, will always be nail polish with glitter. I almost don’t care what color glitter as long as it sparkles!

My oldest daughters love to do their nails often so the mint, aqua and gray colors are ones they would love. Actually, they just like many colors to change things up a bit
I think it’s great they have new and fun colors.. with fashion constantly changing it makes sense to keep up with it.
