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.

I’m a traditional gal! My favorite color is purple!
It took while for me to accept all the new colors, but now that I’ve gotten used to them I think they are great. But at heart I prefer seasonal colors like pumpkin for autumn and pretty pinks for spring.

I love all the new colors because I never really liked the traditional colors.

I love the new colors available but sometimes still wear traditional colors too.
I have fallen in love with all the new nail polish colors and different techniques that you can now do on your own instead of only being available to you in a salon. Love love moon rock and Sun candy polish..

I love them, but they don’t look that great on me. So, I usually go back to the traditional colors.
I’m still getting used to the new colors. I’ve always used neutral or pink shades but I’m ready to try something new.
im definitely a traditional girl but its beginning to grow on me
Different strokes for different folks, but…personally NO, I hate anything that isn’t pink or beige or clear! But, meh, that’s just me. I admit whenever I receive nail polish I won’t ever ever wear, I pass it on to my niece. She loves the different colors!
I love aqua! I really love all the fun colors available now, it is nice to change dependent on mood.
