First post! And Nails of the Day

I figured I'd keep my first post pretty simple with a nails of the day post.  I paint my nails about every other day, more frequently if I'm working.  Other than that, I don't do a lot as far as maintenance.  I use hand cream at night and whenever else I need it and/or think about it.  My favorites are  Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream (drugstore.com currently has a coupon for $1 off - final price is $3.49 for 2 oz.) and Kiehls Ultimate Strength Hand Salve ($20 for 5 oz.).

I have a love affair with deep, dark, and/or opaque nail polishes.  Visible nail line annoys the heck out of me.  That said, today's "nail of the day" is Zoya Ibiza.  It is a beautiful deep indigo blue with shimmer.  The shimmer isn't very prominent, especially inside (F for me for taking nail pics inside - but its really cold, and it gets dark at like 4:30).  Indoors it looks very dark, but you can see how the blue flashes in the pictures.  Loveeee. I almost got away with one coat today, but I always do two out of habit, and I think it usually looks better.  I used Orly Bonder for my base coat, and Lippmann Collection Addicted to Speed for my top coat.
