Has it already been a week?! Good golly gosh me. Time really flies! Here’s the Nails in Melbourne part 3 and also the final part of my photo roll of nails i’ve done during the time i was in Singapore. Virtual life sucks right now as i’m relying on an internet connection from a bar. Yes, i’m blogging from a bar and have been with the past posts, since the efficiency of telecommunication companies here are… :X Anyhow, give me props for dedication!

I’ve been trying to readjust to starting uni again after a good long 3 month break. Really tough I must say juggling uni and my business. 4 days at uni, 2 days at the salon, 7 days of continual, ongoing work on personal and work projects. PLUS i’ve only just moved and yet to completely unpack. I die.

There’s so much i want to share with everyone! Have been up to a lot of naughty, having magazine peeps coming over to spy on my work at the salon, setting up photo shoots for Tsumiki + Clara H Nails projects, recently also hosting a beauty bloggers event at Tsumiki where all the ladies in the beauty blogosphere received a lot of love for their hair and nails, with the latest and most exclusive to us in hair and my specialized nail services of course! All that will come in later posts as i collate the photos and videos for you special people!

With Uni, I’ve just received my project brief and i’m really excited to share with all with you as i progress through my design concepts and inspirations! All in the next few posts so keep checking back!

I am now VERY BLOATED from some super awesome indian food i had for dinner. Garlic naan and butter chicken mmmmmmm. I’ll leave you to savor these lovely photos while i potter off back home to pack my very, very, very untidy storeroom study. :X

I’m back!! And because you’ve all been so good and supportive, I have a mini part 2 post for you. Well, part 2 because the pictures i’m about to show you deserve a post of their own. And also because it’s all about Chanel inspired nails! These sets were all done from scratch and designed on the spot as my special girls INSISTED on getting the double Cs on their nails. So here’s their pretty pretty nails.

I’m actually really proud of my Singaporean girls who are really adventurous in terms of nail art. Don’t get me wrong, Melburnians love their nail art too, but practicality comes first to mind for them, and also, there aren’t many places that can provide such specialized nail art services, probably at the very most a leopard/zebra/polka dot print here and there. I certainly hope through my work they’d get to know that they too can have awesome and super long lasting nails in Melbourne!

This color is just gorgeous. This shade of  nude (Dinner for two OPI) is perfection for me, good enough for nail art base or french base or even on it’s own! I’ve done many nail art variations with this color and they all turn out fab. :)

This set of chrome tips was done some time ago but I just realised what a gorgeous set of nails it is and such a pity I didn’t post it up sooner! Especially now with the whole Burlesque the movie hotness, don’t you think these belong on the burlesque girls?! hehe. These are acrylic with chrome like tips and black painted lace-ups :)

Nice set of nails on a nice set of hands to handle a beautiful Prada. A Louboutin red base and black tweed tips with embossed black ribbons. :)

Recently did Peggy’s nails. Sweet and lovely Peggy from the famed sixpegs.com!  She very wisely chose the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010 design on her sculptured acrylics, after i’d painstakingly removed her previous set of gel nails.

Check out what she has to say about her experience at Clara H Nails and see the design on her nails up close and personal – she did a few interesting poses!

Love & Ta,

Nails inspired by Lady Gaga as appeared in Vanity Fair. Did it cross your mind how many times she had to fall to achieve this perfect shot?

Speaks for itself. Neon base tips with black tiger stripes. Fierce!

Client came back with most of her crystals still intact. I say, if it lasts so well and looks so damn good, everyone should have nails like that! ;p

Keep the comments coming girls! It has been interesting to read your comments so far and I’ll be more than happy to give those luscious lip balms away! So pucker up!
