Hello! As discussed in my last post (my swatch catch up for April, post here), I have fallen a bit behind on my catch up posts. I've decided to still write them for the individual months and catch up chronologically. So next in line for today's post is April's nail art catch up. There are a few Easter themed designs here, so I apologise if those seem inappropriate now! Let's jump straight in!

Just like The Selfie Bag, The Instagram Foodie Bag also has some great items and tips for those perfect mani shots! Read on for a look at everyt ..read more
