Hundreds of Advent Calendars Pass Our Beauty Desk, But This One Impressed Me the Most This Year

Manucurist has launched not one but two advent calendars for 2026. Read our review of the Green Flash and Green Polish nail advent calendars here.

There are more beauty advent calendars to choose from than ever before. From perfume advent calendars to makeup, there's truly something for every beauty lover to choose from now (personally, I'd rather discover a new beauty product in the countdown to Christmas than uncover stale chocolate in my advent calendar). And for the nail-obsessed amongst us, there's one advent calendar that needs to be on your radar, from one of my favourite nail polish brands, Manucurist.

Manucurist Advent Calendars

Manucurist's Green Flash and Green Polishes are a favourite amongst beauty editors, nail techs and tastemakers alike. The brand makes some of the coolest, trend-led and classic nail colours you actually want to wear. The brand has two different formulas: Green Flash, a gel-nail alternative that cures under Manucurist's LED lamp for a longer-lasting mani; and Green Polish, which has more of a traditional nail polish formula. Having tried both, I can confirm they're brilliant, and you can choose between them in Manucurist's advent calendars.
