She knows ombre isn’t just for hair. She regularly drops a C-note on nail art at Marie Nails and gleans inspiration from Anna Sui’s 2013 spring prints. A French manicure makes her dry heave. Glittery digits make her feel that all is right with the world. She knows that Chanel regret is very expensive when it comes to lacquers. Here, a roundup of what to gift the gal with the nail avocation bordering on a vocation.

Julep does glitter oh so well and this festively packaged set comes ready to gift in a transparent box with a satin ribbon and a calligraphy gift tag.
