Funky French with OPI Save the Gift Wrap

Hey guys!

Anyone headed over to Zoya today?  They are having a promo, buy 3 free with $10 shipping for US customers.  The code is zoya2013.  The sale is today until 1/13.  I found out about it here.

Well here's today's funky french.


The tips are Zoya's Dita, two coats, freehand.  It looks bumpy but it isn't.  I put a thick coat of ChG's Fast forward top coat and it is really smooth.  The best advice I have for freehand-ing tips is to lay the brush flat, lengthwise, paralleled to the free edge, against the nail and swoop across.  If you make small dabs across, the line won't be straight.

Dita isn't normally this dark, the green underneath is showing through the polish.


Here is Save the Gift Wrap by itself.  This is three coats, the formula was a bit thin, and I had to wait between coats to dry or else it would clump.  I'm not impressed with this one.  Save the Gift Wrap is an Ulta exclusive.  I got it as a freebie, with a coupon, and I had to buy two other OPI's.

Above is the inspiration for this mani.  Emily Blunt looking fantastic.

That's it for now.  I'm going to zoya.com to see if this code works.  Let us know what you picked out, if you go to Zoya this week!

  3. Gorgeous- I really love this combination of colours! And I so wish the Zoya offer was international- every time it happens, I get all excited, then remember it's only in the US. :P
