NOTD and my attempt at a gradient nail!

It's the last week or so of summer for me, my school starts on the 28th! So, I decided to use the nail polish I received in my Glam bag as it's the first neon nail polish I own, and I decided to also try a gradient nail as an accent, since I love the effect and  I've seen them on many other blogs (I followed The Nailasaurus' tutorial, which was fantastic). I was going to do a ring finger accent, but long story short I didn't.
I used Circus by Andreas' Choice nail polish in Ringmaster for all of my nails except my middle nail. For the gradient, I used Zoya Pandora as the base and Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Pacific Blue for the tip color. Enjoy!

NOTD and Review ft. Sally Hansen XTreme Wear in Pacific Blue

I had 2 of my 5 finals today, math and physics. They were really difficult, I don't know anybody who finished the math final. Tomorrow, I have Chinese and English finals, so I'm studying for those. But I felt bad neglecting to post for so long, so here's a short NOTD/review post for you guys!
This one took a round of practice to apply, the formula is thicker than I'm used to. So I did a terrible job the first time I applied it. In fact, it was just too terrible to post. So I gave it a go again, but this time I was more careful and I applied it much better, although the application is still not perfect. Plus, I kept forgetting to photograph it, so there's some tip wear. I know, I know, beauty blogger sin. But anyway, this wore for about 3 days before chipping noticeably on one finger, but wore for about another 4 days without chipping again. I love this color, it's a gorgeous bright cornflower blue, perfect for summer and spring. I love this polish, I just wish the formula was a little bit thinner. Hope you guys are having a good day!

NOTD ft. Zoya Charla

Sorry for the tip wear, I meant to photograph these right after I did them but somehow it took me a week. Procrastination to the seventh degree. Oh well, it happens to most of us at one point or another, right? Anyway, Charla is a turquoise-blue polish with tiny glitter in it. Not the hard to remove kind of glitter, though, which is nice. It flashes between blue and turquoise from different angles. It applies very nicely and dries quickly. It kind of reminds me of an ocean, I got this when they were doing their 2 free polishes and just pay shipping thing (loved that, haha). Happy Monday everyone! By the way, I have all the giveaway items together, I just have to photograph them and get logistics worked out and the 50 follower giveaway will begin! :)

NOTD ft. Zoya Ki

Wearing Zoya Ki. It's a gorgeous purple-gunmetal shade with green duochrome. Lasted about a week before chipping, I really like this polish a lot. Got this during Zoya's 2012 promo where you get 2 polishes free and only pay shipping. The other polish I got was Charla, which I will use when I hopefully get the time to paint my nails again.
