Talon-tastic Thur... Er, right.

Um, can we pretend that this series is called "Fab Finger Friday" instead..?

Anyway, here's what I'm wearing at the minute - applied yesterday with the intention of showing y'all - because having languished in the hideously uncool corner for decades, pastels are Very Big News In Make-Up this spring.

These were part of my birthday present from Mam.

Hey, what can I say. This is a woman who knows her stuff.

Full-size bottles are just €3.50 each - yes, even cheaper than Barry M! - but you can bag this kit of 4 minis for an almost ridiculously weeny €7. Perfect for trying out a rake of on-trend colours without too much cash commitment (and without the guilty knowledge that you'd never actually get to the bottom of a full-size bottle of any of these colours), I've found that two coats are a must to achieve bottle colour with no streaks.

And despite the fact that it was a day and a half before I got around to lashing on a topcoat, there wasn't a single chip in sight!


What nail varnish or other lovely make-up bits are you wearing today?
