Hearts ala Nailside

Nailside's one of the few blogs I always check for new designs. She's famous for her awesome tape manis. I really love her designs. They're simple yet really catchy. I admire the pictures of her manis too. Her finished work always look clean and nice. Just too perfect! :))

I was really into her cartoon hearts. They're so cute. She has a tutorial on cartoon hearts here. And so I made my own version.

Pardon the tip wear on my thumb! I used the same technique in creating the dots. I love how it turned out!
Thank you so much Jane for sharing your cartoon hearts tutorial! :)

Flowers and an owl

Happy weekend everyone! Before I leave the house for worship practice, I'd show you a mani where I used paper hole reinforcements. Paper hole reinforcements are used to make half moons. A nail tip guide can be a good alternative too! The cuticle area of your nail is covered to achieve a half moon mani.

This is how hole reinforcements look like. 

I bought mine from National Bookstore for 15 pesos, I think.

Johanne advised me that they are available in NBS, thank you sis! You are so helpful :) 

I used the following polishes for this mani: 

 I was really into Nail Nerd's designs lately. One of her designs served as my inspiration.

Paper reinforecements are big help!

 I used a detail brush in drawing those leaves. This is a freebie given by Johanne for my purchase of a 12pc brush set. I'll post about it too! She also gave me nail tip guides. Thanks again! :) 

These are the brushes I bought from Johanne. Check out her shop at Facebook, Fab UR Nails Shop. 

This would be all for now. Stay posted as I post the pictures of my brushes!
