6 Game-Changing Manicure Kits—Just in Time for Engagement Season

Jamie Hince and Kate Moss

There’s a reason people look forward to the holidays: Whether they mean discovering a statement coat under the tree or solidifying a resolution, the last days of December tend to be life changing. Especially since, statistically speaking, those in serious relationships are most likely to receive a certain sparkling accessory in the time around the new year. This is engagement season, and part of celebrating that newly betrothed bliss is sharing the news—along with an intimate view of your left hand—with your nearest and dearest.

Keeping the conversation on the happy announcement—and away from the state of your hands—calls for neutral, picture-perfect nails. And winter’s latest launches are all but guaranteed to provide a foolproof manicure—no salon visit necessary. Deborah Lippmann starts at the source, with a four-piece set of balms and exfoliants to correct the state of your cuticles, while Rubis’s leather-bound stainless-steel tweezers, scissors, clippers, and file will execute any necessary grooming in style.

Zoya’s Naked Manicure kit has a nude-polish option for every yen, from a range of color-correcting bases to both a velvet matte topcoat and one with patent-leather shine. Made a polish mishap? Don’t sweat it. That’s exactly what manicurist Madeline Poole had in mind when she created the short, angled Clean Up Brush as part of Sally Hansen’s nail art tool kit. After that step, all you have to do is say yes.
