Did your mother always tell you, "You'll never get a ring on your finger if you keep biting your nails?"

Well,... now you can come right back at her with the fact that it really doesn't matter. Who needs a ring when the polish that adorns those nails (no matter how bitten and chewed) costs a cool 920 dhs per bottle? That's enough bling to put your fake-gold buying boyfriend to shame, surely!

Of course, it helps to have some nails to paint it on in the first place, ‘cause you should see this stuff. You're going to want as much of it dazzling on your digits as possible, believe us. If there's ever been an excuse to kick that nasty habit, it's this.

Ahlanlive battled the lunchtime heat for this sparkling treat at the Aviation club the other day, and you should see the results. Seriously impressive ladies. As the most expensive nail polish on the market, Essie's ‘I Do' is a sheer nail polish containing just enough platinum dust to make your nails shimmer and shine like a newborn star. Or any A-list star, at that. Essie is ‘the' name behind celebrity nails and when our Hollywood hotties need to look their best, Essie this is the stuff they use. Madonna, Sharon Stone and Cindy Crawford have all graced catwalks with Essie nails to die for.

‘It's a beautiful choice if you're getting engaged, getting married - or if you simply want to spoil yourself,' says The Nail Spa's, Shabana Karim.

Or if you want to get your mum off your back, perhaps?
