If you haven’t been following me on Twitter (as of yesterday AM), a new follow will not be counted as a second entry.

Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
The dragonfly design is really cute!
Ps. Love the way you’re doing the twitter follower thing!
I would do something with hearts & stars. Maybe in a simple white & black color scheme.
I’d use Opi for Sephora in Metro Chic as the base then I’d use the stamp to layer a metallic gold design over it
I want to use the full-nail designs to make French tips!
I started following you yesterday after reading your hole blog and I’m not quite sure if I can enter the giveaway but anyway it’s worth trying because I had never found one of those in my city.
What I’ve had in mind for ages for this kid is a leopard print in zombie green! Cooooool
I’m so addicted to animal prints…Not so original but who cares!
For the turtle, I think I’d want to use Holly-day as a base and Glittering Garland for the accent.
I’ve always wanted to try to get those awesome nails people get with a full nail design! Those big patterns you know, so cool!
I see a palm tree in there, I’d probably do a sunset sponge mani in oranges, reds, and golds and then stamp the palm tree on top in black and paint in a little sand dune with an art pen. I actually have a friend’s daughter coming to my house tonight so I can show her how to use this kit.
Shieldmaiden1196´s last post…Advanced Domesticity: A Flailer’s Guide
Black as the base, and stamp some of the big patterns with one of the metallic polishes that I have. Or a dark purple and then a metallic purple for the design.
But as I do not own any stamping tool nor plate, I’m sure that I would try all the patterns and then decide which one I am going to use in the first mani and which colors look better together
I would like to try one of the full nal designs. I have small nail beds, and these seem like they would fit perfectly on my nails.
Hhhmmm haven’t seen or heard of this before, but I’d want to try out the full nail designs. one looks like the japanese rising sun design so I’d probably have a white nail and stamp it in red. I can’t believe people follow then unfollow you on twitter just for swag. Im only on FB myself cos i don’t ‘get’ twitter haha, i definitely have to move with the times
Michaela´s last post…More Dollys
I’m a complete stamping noob but I’d like to try the full nail sized designs -especially the fishnet and zebra striped ones.
I like that you’re sort of rewarding your regular followers instead of using a giveaway to gain followers like some. With that being said, I realize I comment very little but I really enjoy your blog and read it daily.
Kristal´s last post…China Glaze Concrete Catwalk
I havent seen this on TV, but Ive really been wanting to to try stamping. Id do something simple with hearts probably, Valentines day is around the corner after all! Thanks for the giveaway! :]
I have been dieing to try nail stamping, but haven’t been able to afford this set or a konad set. So the design possibilities are really endless depending on the plates it comes with.
Dani´s last post…Victorian Disco Cosmetics Review
I can do amazing animal prints!!!! (I love animal print!!!)
I would love to do something with dragonflies (I think there is a dragonfly in this set). Dragonflies have a very special meaning to me and my family and I would love to be able to put one or two on my nails from time to time. Also any full nail design would be just awesome =)
Lisa Frank Inspired Rainbow Leopard Print. NO Contest.
AWESOME.
The possibilities are endless, really… but the first thing I would probably do is stamp Essie’s Shine of the Times over Zoya’s Cynthia with one of the full nail patterns. And then something understated, like a sheer over a neutral.
Zebra print tips? Yes. Rainbow butterflies on white? Yes. Grey base with Purple checkerboard? Yes. I would do a bajillion things with this kit!
I’ve been dying for a chance to do a really nice matte-over-non-matte stamped manicure, but am lacking the kit! I’d love to play around with some of that, potentially with Iron Butterfly.
I’d do a base coat of OPI Bling Dynasty and black stars with Zoya Raven.
Scienter´s last post…Seared Quail with Cranberry Vinegar Reduction
zebra print for sure – I have never really done nail are before so I am sure there would be a lot of trial and error!
If it has a full nail design I might do that. Or something with stars. It kinda depends on what designs it comes with.
I’ve never tried stamping, probably will start stamping a cute flower or butterfly, then I’ll try a more generous nail art.
Luciana C´s last post…Feliz Natal!
I would do something special for Valentine’s Day. (I love anything with hearts regardless… hehehe)
Mia´s last post…It takes a small army
I never tried stamping, I have not seen it where I live. But if I had this I would do a full pattern in red over light grey or blue over grey..
I honestly have no idea what I would do but I know I would have fun! The full nail designs look amazing. I haven’t tried stamping yet, so need to try it out.
Tera´s last post…BYS Lulu Blue
I REALLY want the leopard print!! I have been wanting a stamping kit for so long but I just haven’t broken down to buy one. I LOVE leopard and I feel like it would look GREAT with any color combo!! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!!!
Awesome! I’d do silver stars over dark blue.
I have always wanted to these stamping kits! I’ve been into “princess” designs lately, so a light pink base w/ a white lace or bow design would be REALLY CUTE!
Caryn P.´s last post…CHOOSE to be happy.
I’d stamp my nail with holographic polishes over black with the net design
Viktorija´s last post…General Update
I’ve always wanted to try nail stamping, but I’ve never seen that kit here in Canada. I’d love to try a full nail design, like lace or leopard or dots or argyle haha
Brittany´s last post…Spot On
I would probably use any of the heart designs….my step daughter and niece would love for me to get a stamping kit like this…they are always wanting designs on their nails
The CVS close to my house which had this item is closing it’s doors and aren’t restocking so I’m going to roll the dice and hope I win
I’d definitely try out some of the animal print plates, and without a doubt I’ll be buying other plates I’ve had my eye on one which features Hello Kitty
Kasey´s last post…Video: Sh*t Beauty Gurus Say
i would do the cutest valentines desing with the hearts. lots off pink!
I’ve never tried stamping before but I’d like something floral. Maybe black flowers with a pink base.
I would love to use the stamper to make animal print designs on my nails, since i have shaky hands and can’t do them nicely freehand to save my life, esp with metallic polish.
I would love to use the zebra print first!!! Maybe a holo polish with black zebra on top.
Amanda Lehrke´s last post…Finger Paints Special Effects: Asylum, Motley & Twisted
I would use the turtle with a sponge sea manicure!
Patricia´s last post…Glitter for Everyone:)
We’ll…. if there is a zebra plate, id love to use dark purple as a base with white zebra then use a silver glittler top coat
I would love to do stars….. layering stars, different colors on top of a black base:)
I have never stamped before, so can’t say I have any idea of what to do yet lol. Maybe something cute for V-Day coming up, hearts and French
I want to try an accent nail with a design on it!
All the designs look like fun but the butterfly is the one I would try first. So cute!
The Japanese sunrise design looks awesome I always wanted a stamp with that design
A rainbow zebra print! That’d be so lisa frank
I’m thinking matte navy blue base with the full-nail radial in gold!
Oh the little butterfly!!! So cute…I just got this new grassy metallic green polish that would look soooo awesome with tiny little yellow & pink & purple butterflys stamped on top
Ooh. I’d use it over my favorite nude base (Revlon Grey Suede) with some crazy brights. I’ve been wanting to try stamping.
I really like the star so I would probably do something with that and do a semi neutral nail with a bold color for the star:
thanks so much for the opportunity!
I would love to use this kit to stamp golden shimmery stars on black creme nail polish
Whichever is the easiest! I’m new to stamping so it would have to be one I couldn’t mess up! I do see a star so I may try to do a Dallas Cowboys mani.
I would break out my China Glaze Electropop collection!
So I would paint a base in Aquadelic (turquoise creme), sponge with Kinetic Candy (light pastel green) en the tips with Electric Beat (light blue).
Then I’d stamp the starfish in SE 18, the seahorse SE 19 and the turtle of SE 21 in white.
And to finish it off, I’d sponge the tips in China Glaze Techno (glitter topcoat).
Maaaaaaan, now I do not only need this stamping kit, but also all of the CG collection! LOL
I want a puppy design. BECAUSE PUPPIES ARE CUTE.
I have never done nail art! I will try everything but maybe I will start with gold stars!
Micki´s last post…Pros & Bronze Love Is A Racket ~ OPI Serena Glam Slam
I’ve never done stamping before, but I really want to try it! I’m thinking of a Valentine’s mani with some of the heart stamping!
Good question. I’d probably do something simple with hearts for Valentine’s Day. I’d keep it minimal though. I like a clean look.
I just wanted to say I love your blog, twiter & fb as well as the other wonderful ladies. Don’t enter me I have this but wanted to let you know not everyone is in it for the giveaways although I can understand how frustrating it is. I got this for Christmas and have yet to open it lol it intimidates me lol Keep on posting you all have fans that enjoy everything
Hi, I would do something simple because I have never try stamping (some flower on ancient nail) but I would like to be able to do some animal stripes
Thanks again
I’m loving chevron prints right now! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m all about the zebra prints! (ps i followed you on twitter a while back for a giveaway and i’ve been following you ever since!)
I’d use the little heart designs for a fun valentine’s day mani. I’d do a medium-shade pink with a silver foil used for the stamps.
I’d like to just be able to TRY to stamp! I have no stamping supplies so this kit would be awfully helpful in getting a newbie on the stamping train
I want to do yellow zebra print nails. i’ve been looking into one of those kits for awhile, maybe i won’t have to buy one now!
I live in FL, so I think I would use the palm trees pretty quickly……
Thanks for another great giveaway!
I have not been able to find this stamping set ANYHWERE. I would do literally everything..stripes spots…palm trees…EVERYTHING
Althea´s last post…This and That
I’m very bad with design ideas. I just really want to be able to stamp a design on my nails. A different image per nail will do!
it would change with the season! i really wanted to do snowflake nails for new years but didn’t have a stamp kit lol
OOOOH, I have been looking for this kit! I seem to always lean towards doing an accent nail so I’d probably put a design or two on my ring finger! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
I have been playing around with doing my own designs on my nails… and I would really love something like this to expand what I can so far do on my own.
black butterfly on a pink base
I haven’t seen this in stores anywhere yet – it is a great alternative to Konad I think (and cheaper). I would try out the hearts and stars .. all the things I have problems with drawing freehand!
I really like the full nail stamp patterns. Would love to try some nice brights for the spring over white or combine a hot pink with a bright blue!
I am so in the mood for a Florida vacation, so I’d probably do palm trees and/or flowers. I wish I could do Mickey Mouse!
i would like to use the zebra prints to make a funky french mani
id just like to play with designs! i always use dotting tools and nail pens, but you can’t get stencils anywhere near where i live.. so i would love to try it out!
I want to use the leopard plate to attempt a sort of pointillism design with a lot of colors… don’t know if that could be done but I want to experiment!
I think this would be really great to add some more flair to accent nails than just painting them a different color. A subtle design or image would be really cute (:
I love that stars and moon design! I think I’d use it with a a silver polish.
Haley C.´s last post…Photo
I always wanted to try the animal prints.
Allison L´s last post…Happy New Year
I love the look of the geometric prints. As for colors, that’s way too overwhelming to think about!!
I would use the clustered hearts to make a fun design for Valentine’s Day… shades of pink probably! The students I teach would love it. : )
Thanks for the giveaway, Kelly!
I’ve never done nail art before, so something simple. Probably hearts for Valentine’s.
Nice giveaway!!! I look forward to using this to make some spring time kotd’s!
jbrobeck´s last post…Flake FEVER – FingerPaints Flecked
I’d go for chocolate brown turtles on candy pink base (:
Is that a rising sun stamp I see there? Might be just the thing for the Sephora brand Yellow Umbrella mini that I bought to match a costume last October and have had no idea what to do with since
hmmmm, purple butterflies… yes! a silver and black star design sounds perfect too! (after some major practice though. )
I would love to have a nail stamping kit and finally try this! The starburst pattern is really cool, I’d like to try pale turquoise with pink maybe! I actually just checked my local Rite-Aid and they didn’t have this there. Thank you very much for the opportunity to win this.
Rachel´s last post…My Favorite Hue, Robin’s Egg Blue
If there’s a lace or polka dot patterned plate I would love to use it on my ring fingers then just leave the rest of the nails one color
I would love to try black flowers on my shimmery pink nail polish. I’ve never tried stamping, and I haven’t found these kits at any of the stores near me.
Kristen´s last post…Where should I buy my clothes?
I would probably mess around with the full nail designs.
I want to try the zebra print stamp…Teal blue base coat & red stamp. I know I’ll mess it up but who cares.
Black for the base then neon colored flowers and butterflies! And woohoo! I’m also a follower on Twitter!
I’ve never tried nail-stamping before, so anything would be new to me! As to NEW designs, I don’t know….. maybe graceful seaweed patterns?
I’d just love to try stamping of any kind. I keep looking at Konad but can’t see spending that kind of money if I’m no good at it! I heard about this kit being at Walgreens and I’ve been stalking my local WAGS with no luck. I want to try a tartan/plaid design. Maybe in my Clan Tartan colors!
Scottishlass10´s last post…a-England Tristam – Swatches and Review
I’d try the leopard print in a dark plum or dark brown over a tan base, then freehand a fine glitter (possibly gold or iridescent) into the center of a few spots for variety.
I see what looks like possibly a fishnet print in there, I have a rocking metalic fish net design in mind on all my fingers.
If thats not a fishnet then i see a zebra that I’d do an awesome bright purple and black zebra manicure with. 
I like the checkerboard!
I follow you on twitter because I like you, not for freebies.
I would use the full designs and stamp them at an angle one each nail, and outline in a contrasting color!
Just about any full nail pattern would do, but I’d love to try a plaid or houndstooth in orange on bright pink!

Thanks for another great giveaway! I recently started reading your blog, and have read ALL of 2011. I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings. I follow you on Twitter @laurenk2583.
If there are cherries in there like I think, I am thinking ’50′s Retro, with Red, Black and White. Maybe some polka dots with it.
I hope I win. Sunday is my 33rd birthday. I need something good to come to me. I have recently had some disappointments.
I would love to try stamping! I really like the look of silver stamped onto black; I think it looks hot! I would also attempt some funky frenches =)
I follow on Twitter as @luluhorn
Thanks for the giveaway… cheers!
Linda Horn´s last post…Cozy up for Fall
I would do the zebra print pattern in pale green and blue!
Stamping is my new “thing to perfect”. I failed miserably the other day! I’m going to try the special polishes and see if that helps. If those are animal prints, that will be the first thing I try!!
I would LOVE to be able to use kits like this because my hands shake too much for freehand art.
I’ve been following you as Headacheslayer for some time now
I love you for your swatches!! You are awesome!!
ManicuredSlayer´s last post…Too Pretty To Use!
I’m dying to try stamping. I like that this kit (seemingly, although I think your review of these said that the plates pictured are not necessarily what’s inside the kit) comes with mostly non-full-nail designs as I think that would be an easier first attempt at stamping rather than full-nail. I want to try the heart one!
Becky´s last post…Smashbox Photofinish Hydrating Primer review
Love to follow you on Twitter. But when I don’t see a link to Twitter and/or Facebook on the blog, I don’t know exactly what to look under on either site, also need to go looking in search. It would help if you want followers on those 2 social media sites as well as your blog, to put links on your blog. There are a lot of folks who have no idea how to find anyone on either of those social sites. They are lucky to know how to get your blog via email or know how to use google dashboard even. Just a suggestion. I don’t tend to go looking ever for Twitter or FB accounts if it’s not indicated on the blog itself – many bloggers don’t have a general FB page – only a private one. Hope I have helped open some mind space to how many are lucky to have found you and follow your blog, but have not a clue how to look for you or the need to follow you elsewhere. Just saying.
See – now I JUST found you have to click on a tab called contact to find you DO have links for the social media sites you have. I always would think of a contact tab as being your email to address issues/?’s and for PR to contact you via. Never gave it a thought at all to click on that tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the page….look on the right hand side.
Hi Donna,
Thanks, They are also listed on the bottom of the site…
Hi beachgal,
That contact area in my right-side widget has been on my site the entire time as well as the one at the bottom of the site. Plus I often do posts with links to all my accounts also.
Zebra nails (on hot pink base!)
I’ve never tried stamping myself, with this kit I’d definitely do it at least once a week:) something with flowers and stars..
I’m already a follower o Twitter: @LuluFleg
Lulu´s last post…Greek Olive wood Gifts and Sculptures – Ellenisworkshop
I would make a Valentine’s manicure with hearts. I haven’t gotten into stamping yet but have been eyeing this kit!!
I’ve been wanting a zebra plate forever so I can do jet black over silver holo!
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at nail art/stamping….Love the dragonfly, think it would be a nice simple design to start with.
i want to try the zebra print!!
i am feeling a bit inspired this morning by the vera for mac collection so i am thinking of a butterfly design in bright corals and lime greens!
I would give this to my 13 year old and she’d probably do a different look every 2 days!
I loved plaid nails polish strips by Sally Hansen at Christmas times, so I would like to use the plates to make my own plaid designs for anytime of year.
I would love that awesome zebra design in pink and gold! I know its ghettofab but for a night out i think i could be fun! I cant find this kit anywhere!!! Thanks for this giveaway its so generous!
I like the multi heart design for Valentines Day
I would like to create some manis with those star stencils.
I got those sally hansen chrome pens which I heard are great for stamping, and I’d want to try some full nail patterns with them!
Cindy-y´s last post…Preview: February 2012 Julep Maven Boxes
Any of the full nail designs I don’t have a Konad version of. I like the sun-ray looking one in the middle of the plate. Rainbows holographic sun beams on my nails? Yes, please!
Oh, and bravo for you keeping the giveaway for your real fans!
Britni Rose´s last post…NOTD: China Glaze Haunting
It depends which as seen on TV kit this is– there are different plates depending where you got it, several ones don’t match what is on the package (I know this because I have been trying to find these at all my local drugstores with no luck, lol). But if this is the one with the leopard print, I would love to do a rainbow base with a black leopard print on top. I’ve tried it with freehand and I’m just not stable enough to do it.
I would definitely want to try the dragonfly and the turtle!
White nailpolish with a silver star only on the ring fingers =)
Thanks for giving away and for giving away stamping plates, those are hard to find
I have been lusting after a dots design for ages
I’d love to do a zebra print on my nails.
I ALMOST bought this the other day at Ross but then I didn’t because I couldn’t see the plates to be sure which were in there and I remember reading that they had different plates than were on the package. I want the full nail stamps particularly the checkerboard print. I keep trying to do it with my nail art brushes but being a perfectionist I can never get it just right. *sigh*
Ktdidnt´s last post…Photo
i have not tried stamping yet so i would want to do something simple like flowers. i’m thinking all Zoya Gaia for a white background Happi for the flowers and Midori for stems
I love zebra designs but my freehand stripes never turn out too well. So I’d probably just go for the common, but fun zebra print.
I love the zebra design so I’d really like to use that. I love nail art but zebra is a pattern I can’t get the hang of. Thanks for doing this giveaway ♥
I have been wanting to stamp a gold butterfly… looks so pretty in my head
Existing follower on twitter: @GiveawayLand
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Anutka´s last post…Zoya Gems & Jewels Recap…
Hello!
I would do a Valentine’s day manicure using the hearts!
Thanks!
Alexa1202´s last post…NOTD: Urban night
Valentine’s day inspired using hearts and flower
Adia´s last post…Christmas inspired makeup video tutorial (red,gold,green)
I just saw these in the store on Wednesday, I want to do sh midnight sky stamped over wnw’s new petal pink (can’t remember the name). I’m hoping for something really dramatic and damask looking!
I’m in love with the little turtle and the butterfly! Perfect for a summery design
and I definitely would use the little swirly star on the se20 with some kickass holo (don’t have any CG OMG, but oh well) over a purple base!
I’m a fan of full nail designs in varying colors (especially when it includes some neons). It always looks so interesting that it makes me eager to break out all my nail polish and make a long day out of it! It would make for a great first stamping experience.
Since V-day is coming up, I’ll definitely use the heart stamp and make some cheesy nails lol. With pink, red, and white. But before that, I’ll def. try out the zebra print, because surprisingly, I’ve never stamped before. Thanks, for this giveaway Kelly <3
Skyla´s last post…My First Sponging attempt!
I am always a sucker for a polka dot, but I’d like to try to branch out and do something with flowers or stars. I hope I win! I’ve been looking for this at my CVS and had no such luck! Fingers crossed!
I would love to do hearts with valentine’s day coming up!
I would love to do some polka dots, I do them sometimes with a dotting nail art polish but the dots never turn out even
I’ve just recently really gotten into nail polish, so I would need to start with something simple like the hearts, but I would love to try an animals print.
I would use china glaze strawberry fields and a silver heart and ribbon design on the ring finger for valentines day!
holly´s last post…Hey!
I would love love to try any of the full nail designs… like tiger/zebra stripes or leopard spots. I’ve tried making them freehand, but I just suck at it. >.< I'm actually better at making them on my right hand, rather than my left, which is surprising, since I am right-handed. I also like Daneisha's idea of a Valentine's theme for the nails.
So even though I haven't followed you on twitter, I have been following you on facebook. I don't know why I haven't followed you on twitter before, but I am now. I know it doesn't count as a second entry, I just wanted to let you know I don't just follow for the giveaways. I love your blog, I just am shy and don't comment anywhere much. I know it doesn't look like I am shy right now with this post… I guess it's more self-conscious, I always feel like I sound stupid. Like now. SO I'm shutting up now.
Multi-colored stars over a white base. Ooooh.
I’ve never done any stamping, but I want to do a light base, then a dark flower pattern that cascades along all my nails so it looks like one continuous bunch of flowers. (Does that make sense to anyone else?)
Definitely want to do a paisley design.
I want to try plaid design on my nails. I been wanting to try stamping but haven’t had the confidence to do it.
What a lovely giveaway!
I’m boring and don’t have any exciting ideas for designs! I like simple and bold, so I imagine my first look would be an “all over” design in black over a bold creme color (perhaps Ski Teal We Drop).
Hmmm. I don’t actually have a specific design in mind – but I do have an occasion! One of my friends is having a wine drinking/ messing about with makeup ladies night in a few weeks, and I’d love to show up with this in tow!
Something I want to do is green and black turtles randomly all over my nails. It’s simple but turtles make me happy, lol.
I would just start off with a simple stamp in the middle of each nail to get some practice before attempting anything more complicated
I’d love to try combining glitter and stamping!
