Many of you have contacted me regarding a recent post from a fellow blogger regarding my new shop, Painted Lady Fingers.
As many of you know, I have been hard working on,
and have recently announced my latest en-devour,
my new shop, Painted Lady Fingers,
which carries an array of my hand painted nail designs and nail supplies.
I chose this name for no other reason than I thought it unique
and wanted to stand out from other Etsy shops
carrying similar merchandise as myself.
Unbeknownst to me, there is a blog, which many of you follow,
by this same name.
I love the nail blog community, and everyone in it,
but one thing to say, is that we are many!
Though I know and enjoy SO many of you,
there are still SO many of you I've yet to discover
and contrary to the belief of some, Diana's blog is one of
many I've yet to come across.

I would NEVER do something so malicious and so utterly disrespectful
as to take someone else's name, regardless of what purpose I chose to use it for.
I take the blame myself, as I checked with Etsy to make sure there were no shops by this name, or remotely close to this name, but I did fail to do a larger search outside of the Etsy community.

While I am bothered and deeply upset for being accused
of something that I did NOT do,
namely THEFT,
not to mention it was in complete poor taste for a
public"stoning"
without ever contacting me.
I will still be polite and respectful during this situation.

While Diana has no rights to the name
Painted Lady Fingers
and I have every legal right to use it,
I've decided out of respect,
that I will indeed change the name.

I am currently speaking with Etsy to work on getting
the name changed as soon as possible, or if all else fails,
I will simply close the shop, and re-start another.
I want to thank all of you for your concerns and for being so supportive, both to her and to myself.
