Nail Art: Lippy Electric Leopard Manicure (PHD Colour Accent Challenge Entry)  

Posted by: Stylishly yours in , , , , , ,

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!

Here is another look. The Models Own Bubblegum neon pink isn't showing up as neon vibrant in the photo than in person.

Lacquer Boudoir Entry to PHD Challenge - Lippy Electric Leopard

Lacquer Used:

Base Colour:Beauty UKSoft Grey3 coats
Stamp Plate:Konad M62KonadM57Leopard
Stamp Colour:Barry M293Grey1 coat
Lip Colour: Models Own 059 Bubblegum (Neon) 1 coat
Topcoats:Seche Vite83005Dry Fast Top Coat1 coat


Instructions:

  1. After base coat, I applied 3 coats of Beauty UK Soft Grey
  2. I stamped all my fingers except for the ring finger using Barry M Grey for the leopard pattern from Konad M57 plate.
  3. With a small brush, I drew mini lips randomly on my ring finger using Models Own Bubblegum.
  4. Then, by freehand again drew a bigger lip on the thumb again using Models Own Bubblegum.
  5. Going back to the ring finger, with a dotting pen, I drew some leopard pattern between the mini lips with Barry M Grey.
  6. 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?

This is amazing! I love it! Can you just come by and do them for me?! haha

This is ADORABLE!!! Absolutely amazing. I would wear this mani in a heartbeat! I so wish I could freehand designs but for now I'm sticking to konad. :)

Oh thank you. The lips are very easy to freehand. I think Bundle Monster Plate BM02 has a kissy lip pattern if you want to nail stamp it instead.
