Doing Dip Nails at Home (DIY using GLAMRDiP)

A few of you asked about my dip nails after my last post, so I thought I’d write a dedicated post about them.

This morning I’ve already done my fingernails, painted my toenails, showered, and straightened my hair.

There’s just over an hour left until we go, so just enough time to post an April reading round-up before I have to do my makeup.
