Today I'm wearing Zoya Jo, the lovely blue shimmer from Zoya's Twist Collection from a while back. It's what I think of as a jeans color, and it's loaded up with a sparkly shimmer. For the manicure, I used Nubar Foundation as a base, two coats of color, and finished it with Nubar Diamont. Jo applied quite well (although as there was some discussion of yesterday, I have to work more carefully with the relatively small brush), and it's one of those where while applying the first coat, I think "This will need at least three coats..." but then the second makes everything nice and evenly opaque. It dried well with this combination, although I know that Zoya strongly recommends their Color Lock system, which I've never used in its entirety, to ensure that everything works out nicely.
I decided to Konad an accent nail again today just because I'm digging the Konad kick for cheerful manis, but I didn't want to mask the shimmer of Jo because that's my favorite thing about this polish. Also, on the lazy front, it takes about thirty seconds to do one stamp and about ten more to top coat one nail to seal the stamp, so it's pretty tempting to go that route - I think it's a great payoff for minimal effort. I used the Virgo design from plate m34 in Konad White Pearl for the stamping. Here's the finished manicure under artificial light (Spring storms mean the sun's nowhere to be found).

That's the update for today, Dear Reader. Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!
