Advent Calendar 2026

The product

The Essie Advent Calendar 2026 is an advent calendar with 24 doors full of nail polish and nail care from Essie. Behind every door there is a complete product rather than a little tester, and nine of them are 13.5 ml bottles, exactly the ones you would pick up on the shelf.

There are four lines inside, and together they cover just about everything your nails need. Essie Original is the classic nail polish that turns beautifully opaque in two coats, and Gel by essie gives you a gel-like shine with no lamp involved, for up to 15 days if you reapply the top coat on day 7. Expressie dries in 60 seconds, which is handy on an evening when you would rather not stand around waiting. Essie Care looks after the nail itself.
