Hello ladies,
It's time for the second contest! On this occasion, we are celebrating the first 50 followers and more who have joined painted Lady fingers. I want to thank everyone who has been visiting. Your comments and positivity are such a delight to me. You all know how I adore Konad stamping and am particularly fond of the Coraline sets. I have partnered with Kathleen from OC Nail Art to offer you a chance to win your own Coraline kit A! So you can experiment, a plastic scraper will be included as well. The set comes with a metal scraper.
Let's examine the components. All pictures can be enlarged. You will see the reflection of my purple sundress in the image plates, but the designs will be easy to discern. The pictures you are viewing are of my own kit repackaged for display. Kathleen will be shipping a new kit and plastic scraper directly to the winner.
Kit A includes image plates C01 and C05. I will include links to the posts containing manicures with the Coraline designs. I will be featuring more designs from Kit A during the contest period.

The three mini special polishes are Blue Pearl, Psyche Pink and Yellow.
The metal scraper and the stamper are both embellished with butterflies. Pretty! I find the stamper in the Coraline kit the most ergonomic. It rolls fluidly and the stem is the perfect length for precision maneuvering. I use it for all my Konad stamping.

Ah, my beloved plastic scraper! There are varied opinions favoring metal or plastic for scraping polish from the plate. I find I can scrape more quickly with the plastic. It doesn't scratch the design plates either. Kathleen and I want you to be able to try both to find your fancy.

Here are the rules and ways to enter. I've seen variations of this procedure on other blogs. I figure we can try it out together! You can choose from any of the entry options or enter in as many ways as you like from the following choices:
1) become a follower or e-mail subscriber (1 entry). Please tell me which way you are keeping up with painted Lady fingers. If you have already joined, you still receive the entry point. Since this contest is a celebration of followers and subscribers, it's essential to be one or the other to enter.
2) create a post on your blog with a link to the contest. Please add the link in the comment. (2 entries)
3) add painted Lady fingers to your blogroll. (2 entries) If that has already occurred, mention it to me and you will still receive the two entries. Please provide a link unless I have already visited and commented on your blog.
4) tell me whether or not you have tried Konad stamping and what you think of it. (1 entry)
You are welcome to leave as many comments as you like to get your entries in. If it's easier to leave one comment with all the information, that's fine. If you prefer to leave separate comments for separate entries, go for it. I'm a Virgo. I can sort out the entries with ease. I was born for this sort of thing! Please leave me your e-mail in one of your comments so perhaps I can contact you with good news.
The contest will run through September 4th and is open to followers and e-mail subscribers worldwide. Best of luck! I hope you have fun with it! I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on Konad stamping.
