I lived in New York City for four wonderful, glorious years, and am a much much much better person for it. For all the girls who live in the city now, have done a stint in the city or just have a special place in their hearts for the coolest, most awesome city on the planet, this is the perfect gift. It’s a line of nail polish made by Carolyn New York-each polish is named after something New Yorky; the colors are fantastic and the names are genius: My favorites: Mulberry Street, Mugged on the Sixth Train, Hell’s Kitchen, Brooklyn, Spanish Harlem, Eastside Brownstone, Snowing in the Park, and Taking in a Show. At only about $7 a bottle, a handful will make the perfect gift! The company’s Web site is going through a massive reconstruction, but you can order by calling 1-866-5-CAROLYN (2276596); it’s so worth the time it takes to make the call-just check out the adorable packaging!
