[NOTDs] September 2015

I now post my nail-of-the-day pictures on my nails-only Instagram account.  You can also find them on my "Prim & Polished" Pinterest board.  This post will be a rehashing of my manicures from last month, September 2015.

China Glaze Rosy Cheeks

Zoya Arizona (thick yet streaky, also not flattering against my cool-toned skin)

Barry M (Gelly) Almond

Zoya Sage (no topcoat, long drying time)

Revlon Bohemian

Unless otherwise specified, I use a basecoat, two coats of color, then a topcoat.  I use OPI Natural Base Coat and New York Color Grand Central Station for a topcoat.
