OPI Infinite Shine Nail Polish Mini Plaid Flirt | Bright Red Orange

Why it's worth it

A mini bottle of OPI's Infinite Shine in a bright warm red-orange, with the gel-like wear the line is known for. It's the smallest, easiest thing here to buy in multiples when you're filling several stockings.

When you're filling four stockings and don't want four expensive gifts, this is the answer. The bottle is barely more than three inches tall and weighs almost nothing. Buy a few, vary nothing, and every stocking gets something that looks intentional. That's a real problem this solves.

Plaid Flirt is a semi-sheer bright warm red-orange, which is festive without being a costume color. Semi-sheer helps too — it's more forgiving of a shaky hand than a dense opaque red, so a beginner can get a decent result on her own couch without cleanup around the cuticle.
