The key to getting a nice holiday gift for someone is knowing their tastes and interests. Here are some suggestions for the lady who loves to do her nails. Buy what you think will work for her and her tastes and wrap it up in a nice box, gift bag or display it in a nice tin bucket. And best of all, this is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time!
Nail files: You can find these in all sizes, with all kinds of designs and different textures at just about any place that sells beauty supplies. Sally Beauty Supply (http://www.sallybeauty.com) has countless options. You can get four-sided blocks, for edging rough spots to buffing your nails to a satiny sheen. You can also find sleek glass or crystal files or ones with flower designs or zebra stripes and more. Sites like www.avon.com and www.ulta.com (or go online to find a representative or store near you) have a lot of options as well. Avon and Ulta have had files with multiple grits that fanned out and were small enough to stow in a purse. Ulta and Avon have also sold little matchbooks of files, which are light and portable, and they are handy when you need to file a chipped nail in a hurry.
Top coats and base coats: If you want a better manicure, a good step is to start with a base coat and end with a top coat. These are easy enough to find anywhere, including Ulta stores, your corner Walgreens or CVS or Sally Beauty Supply. These are never a bad idea for the woman who loves to do her nails. And you can get "green" versions, basic clears, tinted coats and problem-solving formulas (for chipped nails, encouraging growth and more).
Nail polish: You can't go wrong with a gift set (which pop up just about everywhere in time for the holidays). One such set on Ulta.com is the Essie 4-Pack Mini Mega Collection, which has a taupe, a black, mauve and a hot pink shade.
