break out the nailpolish
I found this super cheap ring from Forever 21 (I never go in there, but a friend mentioned it to me at Alt and I thought I would give it another try) and I fell in love with the design. But it needed color.

My paints and brushes were no where to be found so I pulled together the next best thing: nail polish and Q-Tips.
