NOTD: Essie Shorty Pants

WOW, I love this color! It's exactly the yellow I've been looking for, not too golden but not too green either. But the formula leaves alot to be desired--it's streaky, and chips easily even with top and base coat. But what can I say--it came out the summer of 2008, and I got it for 30% off. No complaints here--the color is going to make me love it forever. I cannot count how many compliments I've gotten on this either!

NOTD: Black and Red

This was my first time ever doing a bi-color nail! I used:

OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
OPI Black Onyx (for black, 2 coats)
Essie E! Live from the red carpet (for red, 2 coats)

I think I didn't do too bad for my first time, but definetly could use improvement, especially compared to the ladies over on MakeupAlley's nail board!
