My mom always says that I’m the hardest person to buy for and my husband always says that I’m the easiest.

I’m not exactly sure how to take that but either way, I always provide my family with a short list of things I’ve been eyeing to make things a bit easier on them. So, in case you have a girlfriend, sister, or significant other who you’re having a hard time buying for this holiday, this one is for you.

Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly, just came out with his own nail polish line. (Make room, Harry Styles.) However, MGK’s creation, UN/DN LAQR, looks very different than Pleasing‘s sheer, pearly polishes with caps made of weighted marble. Instead, the UN/DN colors are pigmented, the bottles evoke an industrial, graphic vibe, which corresponds with the tagline: “Don’t huff the paint.”

More to the point, Baker views his nails as a medium for disruptive art — like ten small-size canvases to splatter paint. “When I do my nails, that’s me wearing my own thoughts and making a statement,” he explains. “To me, polish is not just a color, it’s an intention. Every color has a purpose.”

The polish colors — there are a total of ten individual shades in the collection — elicit a kind of specific sensorial response. The slate gray is called ‘Writer’s Block’ and the black is ‘Depressionist.’ There’s a light pink named ‘Slippery When Wet‘ (think, bathroom tiles), and a deep green color, which Baker likens to the smell of someone who just smoked weed.

The smells-like-weed green, called ‘Mary Jane,’ is a standout polish in the collection. Brittney Boyce, Baker’s professional nail artist, says it’s her personal favorite. “Green is having a moment right now, and this polish in particular allows for so much creativity with the nail look, from a full color nail to a twist on a classic French manicure. However, I truly love all of the shades launched within the UN/DN range — with such a large variety, the possibilities for nail art and self expression are endless.”

You can shop your favorite UN/DN polish as single bottle. Or, order a curated gift set for your friend who stans MGK and his nail polish.

There’s absolutely no arguing with the fact that shopping for the “very online” can be difficult. Between the ever-lengthening lexicon of new Internet Terms, and the quick, fleeting fads (what is an Island Boy??? Who is he? Why is he?), the culture is changing faster than you can whip out your credit card and click “buy it now.” Lucky for you, we’ve got ample Gen Z-adjacent wisdom to share — especially when it comes to e-commerce (yes, that’s internet for “online shopping”).
 
Of course, when we’re talking tech products and influencer culture, price points can truly run the gamut — from Amazon glitter tubes to lab-grown diamonds. Which is why we’re partnering with Affirm [see footer for details] to ensure that you don’t go bankrupt this holiday season: The digital service will allow you to buy those gifts now, and pay for them over time with easy, manageable payments (sans late fees or hidden clauses). 
 
Ahead, we’ve pulled together a highly curated list of our absolute favorite, Affirm-sanctioned, “very online” gifts on the market — all of which will surely help rescue you from “cheugy” territory.

Rates from 0-30% APR. For example, a $800 purchase could be split into 12 monthly payments of $73 at 15% APR, or 4 interest-free payments of $200 every 2 weeks. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check, may not be available in all states, and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required. CA residents: Loans by Affirm Loan Services, LLC are made or arranged pursuant to a California Finance Lenders Law license.
