When we started our 2nd birthday giveaway, we hinted that we will be hosting another challenge as part of our birthday celebration.
Chosen theme is … Show us your country. We’re curios about countries you come from and we would love to know more about them.
You can take inspiration from anything you like: colors, objects, nature … but do tell us in few sentences what inspired you and maybe few words about your country. We’ll publish your text along with the photo.
Manicures, face paints … every form of make-up is welcome.
Remember Maestra’s nail art is support of our soccer team? It may not be precise but it comes from the heart.
Of course we prepared small prize for the winner of the challenge. This time Parokeets ladies are sponsors. And guess what – earrings are made by our Maestra!
Besides lovely butterfly earrings winner will also get:
Too Faced: Shadow Insurance primer;
Flormar: Quartet Eye Shadow 404 + 408, Supershine Lip Gloss101, Ultra Grey eyeliner;
Alessandro: Nail Polish – 261, 297;

I just submitted my entry. I had a good time with this challenge. I love the theme!
Good luck to all participants! :)
I’ve just sent my entry :)
Is it allowed to post you picture online (blog forum) before the deadline? You say: 9.Every contestant must post a link to the contest somewhere on the Internet (beauty blog/forum/site) and include a link to it in the email along with your entry.
So can this link be with you photo somewhere on the internet?
Of course you can post your pic somewhere else before the deadline. :yes:
Seriously?? I thought it was forbidden! Oh well, I’ll post it on the day you do then. :) Thanks for the info!
Do you want us to wait until the contest starts until we post a picture of the mani/makeup on our sites? Or can we just post it whenever we want?
You’re free to post photos at anytime you like. :yes:
Great challenge would love to give it a try :D
I don’t usually sign my photos… how do I do that? You have it there saying “(…) should look something like THIS (…)” but there’s nothing there :(
You have to click on THIS to go the the post about analog signature. :wink:

If you have any problem what so ever you can either ask by email or write us another comment. :yes:
I added THIS (click) for better clarity.
When I took my picture I didn’t know how to do it so I don’t have identification like that on my photo, I’ll write Akuma Kanji in pink on the photo ok? Can it be like that? (By the way, still that “THAT” on your post is not clickable for me… o.O)
I sent you an email. :yes:
So fun! I’m definitely going to join this. :D
I just enter your contest :wave:
We’re already looking forward to your manicures. Glad you like the idea. :nails:
Great challenge! I’ll definitely try it!!!

Super, zakon, bom poskusila :)))) Umirala bi za two faced shadow insurance. Tudi druge stvari so lepe, ampak bom sodelovala v 90% za to :D
Za-kon ideja! :yes: Tale manikura pa je bila navdih za mojo manikuro ko so igrali naši z Anglijo. Samo da je bila v barvi dresov reprezentance in brez zastave. :nails:
