Hi lovelies!
How has everyone been? Is it a busy period of time for you? It certainly is for me! Never-ending projects and assessments out to kill me.
So anyway, recently I was part of an event at Tsumiki (the salon i’m working with right now if you don’t already know) :p It was a beauty bloggers’ event organized to promote the salon services as well as my specialized nail services to the famed beauty bloggers in Melbourne! I will do an elaborate post on that one (I am making a mental note of how many back dated posts i owe my blog. haha) It will come. I promise. Anyhooooo, I got to know this beyond lovely blogger, Violet at www.violetlebeaux.com who mainly blogs and makes videos about little beauty/fashion/craft DIY projects! I got to take care of her rather battle-worn nails with a fresh new set of acrylics and nail art surrounding the theme of her mascot, Bergamot, a rabbit that apparently used to work in a teashop. How cute is that?? I’ll let pictures do the talking for now.
Bergamot!!! How cute is this lop-sided eared bunny! I can’t believe Violet made this little plushie herself, and even hand-stitched her little V logo on Bergamot’s bunny foot!
Last but not least, lovely Violet whom i’m meeting up with this Thursday for brunch! We are discussing collaboration ideas and brainstorming what kind of tutorials we can film. So do tell us what you’d like to see/DIY on your own! Nails(I’m sure some of you out there would like to know my secrets!!) , hair (i have a secret hair styling talent, i do a mean hairstyle), i can SEW. Let us know your curiosities, it’ll help us plan our videos out better!
That’s all for tonight folks, excuse me while i go curl up in a ball and recuperate from this super tough week. I have the next 2 weeks off from school but still have tons of work stacked on my head and shoulders, knees and toes.
I will be right back really soon with more updates!

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
Much Love!!!!

Hello all!!!
I know it’s been an impossibly long time since i’ve blogged, but much has happened in my life and i’ll try and feed you guys with updates bit by bit. I was in Singapore for the past month for all the Chinese New Year festivities, catching up with friends and family. Unfortunately while i was there, my grandmother passed away hence my trip was extended. So yes, my life was pretty fully loaded. Shortly after returning to Melbourne (which was about a week ago) I had to move out of my apartment as my lease was up and LUCKILY, my partner managed to find an amazing apartment in the CBD.
We’re still in the process of moving into this apartment with the unpacking and whatnot. Yes, so this is my life for the past 6 weeks in a nutshell. I would be a lot more detailed but there are too many stories and serves me right for leaving the blogging till now.
So as a little treat and apology to appease my loyal readers who constantly check back to this blog with lacking updates, here is a roll of lovely nail photos if i may say so myself. :p Some sets were done in Melbourne, some in Singapore. Tumblr users, you’re gonna love this. I’m too busy to watermark these images at the moment so, remember to credit!!
I will post photos of our apartment once it’s slightly neater and done up. I love that it’s right in the middle of the city, that it’s walkable distance to uni, i love that i can go out for supper and food and find anything i like, that i can get anything i want and can’t get outside the city. Most of all I love that its more than twice the size of my old apartment! Fully carpeted with a beautiful balcony where we plan to have a mini herb garden (when we find the time haha).
I’ll leave you with a little picture of myself in my unfinished bedroom.
Okay i hope this will keep you happy for a little bit while i prepare Part 2 of Nails in Melbourne!!!
Love,
Clara H
It’s been smokin’ hot Down Under since we’ve been approaching Summer and what better way to salute summer than a tribal print with a coral color palette on your nails!!! If you haven’t already seen the latest updates on my twitter, here are the pics together you lazy pokers! Details are ALL handpainted. When you got skillz, you don’t effing need nail stickers. :D
Summer nails NOW peeps!!!

I know it’s a teeny weeny bit early, so here’s a teeny tiny quick post oh well better early than late, or never! Heehee! Nails inspired by a design I saw in the Nail Max Magazine. Really pretty i thought it since i’ve never really been one for red green and gold all on one nail. :p
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!!!

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
