My relationship with nail polish is kind of random and unhealthy -- I seek out a few here and there once in a while and then become transfixed, sort of like a stalker. (Ever see Assassins?) Right now, my idée fixe is OPI's Tickle My France-y from their Fall/ Winter 2008 La Collection De France, which is made up of le mysterioso violets, browns and neutrals, like the one I tried on below. (Oh, and by the way, there are bloggers out there who actually buy/ acquire EVERY SINGLE polish in a collection. That level of commitment blows my mind. Who has that kind of time? Actually, I probably do, but I've been spending it watching the same two episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta over and over again. NeNe 4ever! Actually... 4Never...)
Anyway, more savvy polish addicts probably know that OPI collection's been around a few months, but I'm glad I finally got my hands, so to speak, on Tickle My France-y, because it's the perfect au naturel neutral -- sort of boudoir chic meets the color of Band-Aids and character shoes. And since I like to wear a lot of ridiculously bold and bright makeup, jewelry and clothes and stuff, it's a lovely, downplayed neutral that helps keep me from looking like a bowl of Lucky Charms from head to toe.
I received mine in a gift bag, but when purchasing OPI, I like eBay sellers cbbeauty -- I bought Baguette Me Not per Beauty Blogging Junkie Amber's glowing review -- and Nail Treatments -- I just bought You Don't Know Jacques there. Now go forth and paint, because, as they say in France, Il vaut mieux faire que dire. Er something.

Are you sure this post wasn't just a chance to show us your ring ;)
I'm a huge fan of You Don't Know Jacques, from that collection. It's a great darkish brown with a hint of olive/gray in it. I get SO many compliments on it, and love it so much I even wore it to/in my friend's wedding. Lucky for me she didn't go bridezilla on me that the shade didn't exactly match the eggplant bridesmaid dress. PHEW!
First of all, LOVE the ring. Congrats, sweetie! As for the nail polish, I totes hear you on OPI's France collection. If I had to be monogamous w/ a polish for the rest of my days, it would be You Don't Know Jacques. Maybe I should get Jacques a ring - you know, just to make it official.
