While I’m not one to head to the salon every other week to get a mani-pedi, there’s something special to me about having a fresh set of nails for the holiday season. Raising a glass of champagne to the New Year feels even better when my nails are shimmering and on point—they’re the bow that ties together my New Year’s Eve fit.

However, I don’t have the time—or money after gift shopping—to go to the salon before Christmas and New Year’s Eve, so instead, I’m DIY-ing my own nails thanks to festive winter nail art kits starting at just $5. I found 10 gift sets, polishes, press-on nails, and more, and everything is under $15.

Dashing Diva Gloss Ultra-Shine Santa Baby Gel Nail Strips

I’m grabbing this chip-resistant manicure set that’s quick and easy to apply and made to last up to two weeks. They have no scent, are non-damaging, and don’t require any drying time, so they’re convenient for applying right before a holiday party. One shopper said they look beautiful and last longer than regular polish.

OPI Wicked Nail Polish Mini Mani Gift Set

This limited-edition nail polish collection is streak-free, dries fast, and makes a great gift idea for the Wicked fans you know—whether that’s yourself or a friend. The set comes with four polishes to add color, shine, and look nice close up, per shoppers. Snag multiples while it’s on sale.

Pueen Multi-Shapes Jeweled Nail Art

I’m obsessed with these top-rated nail charms that add sparkle to any polish, are durable, and are lightweight to comfortably wear. Choose from pearl, gold, and silver gems to create a customized look. They add glam to basic manicures, per one reviewer who shared that the jewels are easy to apply and securely attached, which helps them last longer.

Sally Hansen Jolly Holly Miracle Gel Nail Polish

I’m eyeing every festive polish color from Sally Hansen’s holiday collection, including shimmering green, red, mocha, and solid cream colorways to decorate my nails for the holiday season. The polish provides up to 10 days of color and shine and is chip-resistant.
