CK One’s newly launched cosmetics line has partnered with Bronx graffiti artist Sharon de la Cruz—who goes by the tag name Miss 163 (unoseistres.com)—to create a six-piece makeup collection featuring shades used in her street art (the packaging is also adorned with De la Cruz’s doodles). The range includes four creamy, high-gloss lipsticks that deliver a sheer swath of shimmery color (our favorites are Punked, an orange-coral, and Tagged, a rosy pink); a powdery eye-shadow quad, whose bold colors come out softer than they appear in the circular compact; and silvery patterned adhesive nail strips that come with a mini orange stick and a petite nail file for easy application. CK One Color Cosmetics Street Edition Shine lipsticks, $16 each; powder eye-shadow quad in Vandalized, $28; and real nail polish strips in Graffiti, 16 for $14; all at Ulta, 61-35 Junction Blvd between Horace Harding Expwy and 62nd Dr, Rego Park, Queens (718-699-9004, ulta.com)

Photograph: Roger Cabello Drawing inspiration from the West Village’s charming cafés and stylish denizens, New Yorker Erin Farber created two new shades for her locally formulated nail-polish line: Fizzy Cucumber, a pale green that’s evocative of a minty cocktail, and Pink Panache, a rich magenta meant to capture the vibrant baubles often seen on pedestrians in the area. Both are infused with Étoile’s signature diamond dust, which acts as a nail strengthener and adds subtle sparkle and dimensionality.

Highlights among the neutral-toned pieces include dapper men’s blazers, blue-tinted aviators and woven hobo bags.
