watermelon NOTD and nail art tutorial

 I was over the moon when I got an email a few weeks back from the lovely Gemma who works at Company magazine (aka my favourite ever magazine) asking me to do a nail art tutorial for their weekly edit in the nail art section. I decided to do watermelon nails for it but I'm not sure if they've already been published in it already or not but I'll find out for you.

These are perfect for when the weather gets warmer (fingers crossed) as they're really summery. I plan on having watermelon nail art and wearing my new watermelon cami top I bought in American Apparel whilst using my watermelon phone case and eating watermelon. Watermelon obsessed? Me? No!

The pink polish was one from Essie and I did the details using the Rio nail art pens. This design is fairly easy to do once you break it down into the small steps as you can see above! If you don't have nail art pens then you can use the end of a kirby grip for the details and it works well!

As always I LOVE seeing people recreate nail art I've done so if you do then please make sure to tweet me a photo (@islaay_x) or send it to me on instagram (@islaay) as I love seeing them!

spring wishlist

1/2/3/4/5/6/7

I haven't done a wishlist post in soooo long so I thought I would do one today! I think the polkadot blouse with some high waisted shorts and the daisy earrings would look SO cute together! The earrings would also look really cute with the coral dress which is from New Look (it's basically their version of the Topshop ones- I bought the dark green one in Topshop which you can see in this outfit post and I wore it to death over winter so I think having a summery one would be nice too!)

I've read so many good reviews on the Emma Hardie cleansing balm that I've decided I need it in my life- only problem is that it's £34, boo! I was meant to add Hydraluron into the list too after hearing Caroline Hirons rave about it but I forgot to add it in, oops!

Let me know what's on your wishlist and if you have any recommedations of things I should add to mine!

ps I just noticed this is my 200th post, WHOA! Also I hit 100K page views the other day so thank you all SO much for that!!

what's in my bag

  I haven't done a what's in my bag type thing in quite a while so I thought I would do one! All my others have been on my blog so I thought for a bit of a change I would do it as a YouTube video. My bag is from La Moda* and was only £20 which is such a bargain!
I would love it if you could subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven't already as I'm planning on doing lots more videos when my exams are all over, yay!

♥ skirt: topshop
♥ top: primark
♥ shirt: H&M
♥ watch: river island
♥ belt: topshop
♥ necklace: topshop
♥ earrings: topshop

so basically ellie posted this outfit the other day which made me remember that I had completely neglected this skirt (I bought it a few months ago but I've only worn it once so far) and made me want to wear it again! Because I'm totally not original at all I decided to just completely copy her outfit, woo!
I don't know how much you can tell from the photos but the skirt is one of those high-low ones where it's longer at the back than at the front but it was quite long and looked pretty frumpy on me which is why I kind of sinched it in with the belt to hold it up. I have my exams starting on Tuesday (blaaaah) so sorry for the lack of posts over the next few weeks but I will have some fun things going up after they're over, woo!

p.s. please ignore how long my hair has got, it needs cutting asap
