Olive & June’s holiday calendar looks like a little row of decorated front doors. The part worth opening them for? Full-size nail polish.
The brand’s 2026 12 Days of Mani Magic calendar is listed at $60, with 11 polish shades and a duo of top coats. There’s also a separate $50 Pressies calendar for kids and tweens, filled with press-on nails and nail-art stickers. Same countdown idea, very different manicure situation.
The $60 calendar has full-size polish
Olive & June calls this its first full-size holiday calendar. The 12-day format includes 11 colors, with the two top coats grouped as a duo. That gives you 11 colors to play with, plus two ways to finish them.
The shade lineup goes beyond Christmas red and green. There’s Favorite Beanie, a slate blue; Lavender Stems, a sheer purple; and Office Party, a milky white with holographic flakes. Glitter Elf brings the green glitter, while JG is raspberry red.
The collection also includes This Lettuce is Radicchio, Exclamation Point, Can I Borrow a Sweater?, Potpourri Quick Dry, Team Spirit and Lovenote Quick Dry. So if you prefer sheer colors, a soft pearl or a glitter top layer, there are options beyond one very specific holiday manicure.
The finishing pair is Sparkle Fairy Top Coat Effect, with iridescent flakes, and Long-Lasting Top Coat, for a glossy finish. Olive & June puts the retail value at $128.
The $50 Pressies calendar is a different kind of gift
The Pressies 12 Days of Mani Magic calendar is made for kids and tweens. It contains festive press-on designs and nail-art stickers rather than bottles of polish.
The named designs include Puffy Christmas Tree, Holographic Snowflake, Diamond French Bows, Olive the Other Reindeer and Candy Cane Crush. The product list mixes XS/S and S/M round styles, so check the listed sizes before choosing it for someone.
The sticker themes include woodland creatures, gems, cookies and candy, bows, and snowmen. Olive & June lists this calendar at $50 with a stated $72 retail value.
Which calendar makes more sense?
For someone who likes painting their nails and choosing their own combinations, the $60 polish calendar is the one to compare. The $50 Pressies version is the kids-and-tweens option for decorated press-ons and stickers. It costs $10 less, but it isn’t a smaller version of the same polish box.
The official holiday-calendar page still labels both as preorders, while the individual product pages have Add to Bag buttons. Check current shipping timing before ordering one as a gift. Prices are before any applicable tax or shipping.
If you’re comparing other nail calendars, we also have a Manucurist calendar comparison.
