I've been following Polish Hoarder Disorder (PHD) for a while now. She has weekly nail art challenges. I finally have the courage to submit an entry to this week's challenge – Colour Accent – to create a grayscale nail design and include a pop of colour!

The link to other entries for this PHD Colour Accent challenge.
This manicure has also been featured on Models Own Blog this weekend.
This is my submission:
Here is another look. The
Models Own Bubblegum neon pink isn't showing up as neon vibrant in the photo than in person.
Lacquer Used:
| Base Colour: |  | Beauty UK | | Soft Grey | 3 coats |
| Stamp Plate: |  | Konad | M57 | Leopard | |
| Stamp Colour: |  | Barry M | 293 | Grey | 1 coat |
| Lip Colour: |  | Models Own | 059 | Bubblegum (Neon) | 1 coat |
| Topcoats: |  | Seche Vite | 83005 | Dry Fast Top Coat | 1 coat |
Instructions:
- After base coat, I applied 3 coats of Beauty UK Soft Grey.
- I stamped all my fingers except for the ring finger using Barry M Grey for the leopard pattern from Konad M57 plate.
- With a small brush, I drew mini lips randomly on my ring finger using Models Own Bubblegum.
- Then, by freehand again drew a bigger lip on the thumb again using Models Own Bubblegum.
- Going back to the ring finger, with a dotting pen, I drew some leopard pattern between the mini lips with Barry M Grey.
- To finish off, I used Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat to seal off everything and make it shiny.
Hope you like this manicure. I only have 4
Konad plates, so I was slightly limited of patterns so I decided to do something freehand. I ordered
Bundle Monster plates last week, and they're on their way, can't wait! The challenge was fun, it really got me thinking with the limited plates I've had, I would definitely enter more challenges in the near future!
What do you think of this? Did you enter this challenge?
