About Nailpolish Stories, a Tiny and Colorful Literary Journal

I had this idea that stories should be made of the flashy names of nail polish colors.  I think the seed for this was planted when I was old enough to paint my nails.  As a little girl, I remember thinking, Whose job is it to make up nail polish color names?  I was aware, on some level, of all the possible stories each one suggested.

I wrote a teeny-tiny piece, 25 words (Hint Fiction, if you will, as termed by Robert Swartwood), inspired by one of the coolest nail polish names I’d seen in a while:  Posh Trash.  I have published it as the first Nailpolish Story, and I hope you enjoy it.

NS submissions are read on a rolling basis, year-round.  I will most likely respond to submissions within two months.  New stories will be posted the first half of January, April, July, and October.

Nailpolish Stories, A Tiny And Colorful Literary Journal will publish a print anthology of “Best Of” stories, likely some time before it turns ten in 2021.  All stories accepted for the online journal are contenders for the book.
