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’m not a fan of the dark colors or designs on nails. I like traditional bright colors, pink, coral, red, etc. and a clean, fresh mani/pedi.
I LOVE all of the non-traditional shades of nail polish out now. I never have been a traditional girl and don’t wear makeup, so I like my toes to be fun, freaky colors like blue and green! 😀

My daughter also loves nail polish, maybe she got it from mom? 🙂 She loves bold and bright designs and I am more into light colors, pink has always been my go to color.

I don’t paint my nails often, but when I do I’m pretty traditional. Bright reds and pinks look best with my skin tone.
Such a great way to gift nail polish for all my girls, Thank You!

I think all the new colors are great. I was a little scared of the colors you have here when I first saw them but then I saw a lady with some close to them and they were so cute!

I think it’s great that the range of colors has expanded. I don’t particularly like them but everyone should have a variety of choices!

I absolutely love trying all kinds of new polish colors. I collect every mint color I see, and I love unique teals and purples. I also love experimenting with designs, textures, and different techniques for doing my nails.
I think they’re so fun! Grey is one of my favorite colors.

I love all of the nail polish colors we have now!
Sometimes I use 2 different colors alternated on my nails.
And I don’t have a favorite.
thank you
