Dear readers,

I apologise that I haven't been posting for a while – a long while – this was due to a whirlwind crazy few months in my life and a really bad neck/shoulder injury, I couldn't move nor type for a long time. I am on the road to recovery and I hope to be back posting next week. I also hope to get inspiration from up coming shows I'll be attending at London Fashion Week!!

Stay stylish & stay tuned,

Elsie x

Dear readers,

I haven't forget about this blog. Unfortunately, due to personal matter, it has greatly occupied me lately and I haven't been able to make any posts on here. I've some guest manicures which I can post, but things are just too crazy now for me to post them properly to give them the attention they deserved.

At the meantime, I'm pulling a shameless plug on here:

I'm an experienced graphic designer based in London, UK looking for a permanent full-time position with a creative firm. I am an Associate of Ontario College of Art & Design with over 10 years industry experience in the UK and Canada, specialising in graphic design, branding, print, packaging, advertising and web design.

If you know anyone who may be interested or is looking for someone with passion for creative designs, please pass this along. I will be happy to send my CV and portfolio upon request.

My online portfolio is now ready. Please check out www.staystylish.com I'll be back on posting fabulous inspirations and nail art posts as soon as I can. x

I have decided to start a new blog to dedicate my love for beauty, make up, nail varnish and nail art. I remember the first time I wore nail varnish was when I was about five. I started to bite my nails, my mother tried using those nasty bitter stuff, but it never worked. It only worked when she painted my nails, I thought they looked too pretty to bite, so I've stopped. I've been a varnish junkie ever since.

During my High School years in Canada, I had a fond memory of mixing my own varnish colours. There wasn't much colour and brand choices back in the days other than the excitement of orange and black nail varnishes from Wet n' Wild near Halloween. I started doing nail art with each nail having a different design on it.

It was very difficult for me to depart from my varnish collection over the years when I was moving to the UK three years ago. Since then, as you can imagine, I've started my new varnish collection. I still can't justify of paying £10 for Essie and OPI over here when I know it's the same price but in CDN dollars back home. That's almost half the price!

My sister had a Konad kit and she tried on me when I visited her two years ago. Not until recently I've completely fell in love with Konad stamping nail art! Sure, I could do most of it freehand but sometimes I'm just plain lazy. I'm a hunter, and I always will try to post all sales and my findings. So here I am writing this blog. I hope there are readers out there to share my view. Any comments, suggestions are welcome anytime, just drop me a line! x
