Nails Inc. This holiday gift set comes with a mini nail polish for every month of the year, and they are spot-on with the color selections: December is sparkly and festive, February is deep red, and July is bright pink. You can gift the whole set or divvy it up. Me? I suggest keeping it for yourself.

I love the holiday season in a way that's completely age-inappropriate. I generally start playing Christmas music the day after Halloween, and I decorate well before Thanksgiving.

Which is why I love July. (Stay with me.) Every July, beauty brands give editors a sneak peek at the new holiday collections, and they roll out the red and green carpet (literally), with fake snow machines, pine garlands, and giant Nutcracker statues. It really is like Christmas in July, and I'm a kid in a candy cane store.

This year, instead of keeping all of these fun, new beauty gifts to ourselves until we publish the holiday gift guide, we're sharing the pics I grabbed on the sly while browsing. That's how first-look new these products are! Consider this your early Christmas present. (You're welcome!)
