I think this is an amazing contest & a great way for those of us who have wanted to make a polish color or to name one have the opportunity to. The only issue I think there is with the rules is it turns I to a popularity contest. There is people on Pinterest that have over 100,000 followers & already follow them so as soon as they create their board they are ahead. It would have been nice if Julep would have judge & picked their top 5 & then had the public judge. It would have been more fair. Well good luck to the little people.
Thx
Leslie

I’d have to agree. I was so excited to see this contest and to get started pinning things only to realize I don’t have a chance. I only have a few followers. Oh well, it was a nice idea. Good luck to those who have a better shot!

I enjoy all of your products extremely well.

I like this contest, but I wish they would have done things slightly different. I just opened a pintrest account for the purposes of this contest. I don’t have followers, that takes time. I wish they would have done the voting. Having your long time followers choose your board isn’t really admiration of the board it self in my op.
Heather September 19th, 2012
Hi Farah – Thank you for the feedback. We decided to take the top 5 followed boards and 5 chosen at random to give everyone a chance to win. Hopefully this will convine you to create a board.
