Yes, Carolyn New York nail polishes are great in color and use, but I’m more attracted to their names more than anything else. Carolyn Cianciotta, “manicurist to the stars” used her life experiences in New York to create her line of 55 colors. Take the featured “Fashion Week” pink which is a classic pulled together shade for anyone, or “Poppy Chulo” red which is named after a hot Spanish man she dated. I find myself pulled in by her association between color and name because I want to find out the story behind the polish. Other names that I couldn’t help but click on to find more about? “Cheating in Queens,” which is when she caught an old boyfriend of hers double-timing her and “Frankie Joins The Navy,” which honors her dad and NYC fleet week.

All colors $7, at carolynnewyork.com.
