I am talking about cocktail rings.
I picked up this one in Topshop this evening and it is pretty much love at first sight
I actually like the fact that it covers up half my finger :)
I love statement rings but have only 1 to date - a black and gold ring from Kenneth Jay Lane that I love but it doesn't fit as snugly as this one.
Now I am off to paint my nails. For the last couple of days I have been sporting GOSH's Frou Frou.
I got this because:
a) Its a pretty yet super metallic-pink/silver colour - unlike anything I have seen; and
b) The name reminded me of singer Imogen Heap - and it you don't know who she is then you are missing out. She is my favourite female singer - EVER.
The next colour to be applied is going to be GOSH's Golden Bronze.
I am seriously impressed with their metallic polishes - good coverage in one application and opaque finish in two. Dries quickly, looks great and no chipping. Golden Brown is still my favourite though.
What's your favourite polish of late?

i love this ring : )
gosh nail polishes are gorgeous : )
the last nail polish i liked is orange fizz by chanel, from their summer collection. i think it's pretty coral colour for summertime)
@unodeutre - ooh i haven't seen that one. i love the name :)
OOh love the ring! Wish we had Topshop in Canada. Sigh. I will have to keep my eye open for that nail polish here. My favorite nailpolish right now is a Revlon colour that smells like Raspberries after it dries. Can't remember the name.
More often than not my nails are dark metallic green (I've tried tons of brands) - Sally Bowles was very influential!
I'm loving eyeko's pastel pink n/p. I'm a sucker for pastels.
Love the ring btw.

gorge ring xx
I'm currently using Avon's Length and Strength complex to help grow out my nails, so no polish right now! However, my favorite polish for summer is definitely Nicole by O.P.I. in Ink A Dink A Pink. It's a gorgeous fuschia color.

Gorgeous ring oh wow I love the nail polish tho I need to look into those GOSH polishes x
Oooh love it!!! Wish we had a topshop and accessorize over here because you find the cutest things :)
Oh and love the idea of the makeover series..how fun! Just like you everytime I get a makeover I run right to car and wipe it off! So can't wait to see how your adventure plays out.
Ahh this completely answer my question on your last post! Thanks for the review and pics :)
Just a tip if you want to see some good nail polish swatches check out flickr.com/Lextard, she has TONS of pics I always check before buying a polish! x
*Rosie* - yay another Imogen Heap fan! I know, where is her new album??!!! i have been very patient!
@Moni - ooh i like the sound of your blog. I will check it out :)
@Becky - lets keep fingers crossed it doesn't happen to me :) i think i am more confident these days so am not so likely to be bamboozled by an over-zealous makeup artist. still, they might strike in a moment of weakness and start going crazy with the cosmetics. if they do i will photograph it anyway :)
That ring is gorgeous! Be sure to coat it with a bit of clear nail varnish though! Topshop rings can be beautiful but have a tendency to taint!
xo
Gotta love cocktail rings!! I have my eye on a huge ribbon bow which im buying on payday this weekend!!
Also love the nail polish! :o)
Ooh Frou Frou looks gorgeous, I must pick that one up.
These days I'm lovin' Barry M's Racing Green, not particularly Summery but what can ya do! x
Imogen Heap! She was the first artist I wrote an article on when I was working in music and she was just starting out.
I was lucky to catch her in tiny London venues and she was always such a nice polite person.
Fantastic Live!
I am going to pick up the Gosh golden brown tomorrow it's gorgeous. You need to check out China Glaze's Agent Lavender, it's lighter than Done out in Deco, I am wearing it on my toes right now and it looks great with a tan.
@PeachykeenCheeks Ooh that sounds like a good idea, I've got to try that.
I love the ring! I have a thing for big rings myself. I actually like them sorta ugly hehe..so ugly that it's cute is what I look for! I have one now that looks like I punched a wall of multi-colored gemstones and they stuck to my ring. ^__^
I am currently loveing OPI's All That Razz-berry. I love it on my toes, just a cute summer color!
lovely ring and lovely polish color!! My current fav is actually Maybelline wet shine diamonds polishes, which are d/c I believe. But I just used it to create the gradation nails (can be seen at lots of Japanese magazines and such). And this type of polish (sheer, with lots of sparkles) is perfect for it!
Oh my....that ring is beautiful! And your nails look stunning! :) I'm currently wearing Revlon Nail Builders in Opal as my nails are quite weak at the moment so trying to fix them! :)

just had a ebay nail polish spree on china glaze and essie but looking at that gosh polish i think i need to get to superdrug.... :)
GORGEOUS RING! I love your nail polish too. I'm currently wearing a Gosh polish but in Wild Lilac x
That Gosh polish is beautiful - I didn't see it in Superdrug today, but guess I mustn't have looked hard enough.
My favourite polish at the moment is Rimmel Wear Maxx in 'chocolate box' but it chips sooo easily, which is a real shame :(
Heeeeey Laura! I tagged you in my post!! Check it out:

I LOVE Gosh's Frou Frou! Is Gosh available in the States? I also love the band and the singer. :)
I have bought a lot of polishes lately, but I am really loving Sephora by OPI's Mermaid to Order. Fantastic green-blue metallic (but not glittery) color.
you have SUCH great style!
