Forget chocolate, this year’s sweetest advent calendar might just be one for beauty lovers. OPI has teamed up with M&M’S to create a festive countdown filled with 12 mini nail polishes, and it’s already been reduced.

I’ve been looking at a lot of beauty advent calendars these last few weeks, and I’ve spotted one that’s a little unusual and could make the countdown to Christmas even more exciting.

Even better, it’s currently reduced from £49.99 to £42.49, saving shoppers £7.50 (15%) in the brand’s Black Friday Warm-Up sale.

It’s a great buy if you’re already a fan of OPI’s nail lacquers, or if you’re looking for a beauty gift for someone who enjoys experimenting with different manicure colours. With the early Black Friday discount, the nail varnishes cost just a little over £3.50 each.

The 12 shades included are:

• Feeling Mmmerry
• Melt in Your Mani
• All Treat No Trick
• Choco-lotta Cheer
• Crack Me Up
• Merry Crunch-mas
• Peanut Butter Me Up
• Deck the Shells
• OPI Want Them All
• What a Tree-t
• White Choco-hot
• Red-iculously Sweet

I particularly like the idea of having a mixture of colours to try throughout December, including classic festive red and green, but also blue, pink and brown.

The varnishes are all created using OPI’s Nail Lacquer formula, with the brand promising up to seven days of wear when used with its recommended three-step system.

That involves applying a base coat, followed by two thin coats of your chosen colour and finishing with a top coat. Those aren’t included in the calendar, but you can buy them separately directly from the OPI website – and they also currently have 15% off.

So, although you have 12 different shades for the 12 days of Christmas you won’t actually need to change your mani every day, unless you want to of course, and these polishes will last long beyond the festive season despite their mini size.

This does have an added benefit though, as the small size allows you to experiment with different shades without committing to full-size polishes. And if there’s a shade that isn’t for you, you could share it with a loved one.

The OPI x M&M’S Holiday Advent Calendar has an RRP of £49.99, but it’s currently available for £42.49, giving shoppers a saving of 15% or £7.50 in an early Black Friday deal.

If you know someone who loves doing their nails, or you’re already an OPI fan yourself, this could be a much sweeter alternative to a traditional chocolate advent calendar.
