[NOTDs] July 2016

I 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, July 2016.

[NOTDs] Winter 2014

This post explains where I have been and my plans for the blog.  While I was away, I posted my nail-of-the-day pictures on Instagram (see also:  my new nails-only account).  This post will be a rehashing of my manicures from Winter 2014.

Unless otherwise specified, I use a basecoat, two coats of color, then a topcoat.  My favorite topcoat has always been New York Color Grand Central Station.  I don't remember what basecoat I used back in 2014:  possibly it was Zoya Anchor or OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, which I use now.
