We just loooooove holding a glass of bubbly; yes, it's delicious (and massively smile-inducing), but during the holiday party season, it's a great way to show off your sparkle. Cocktail parties call for cocktail rings, and the holidays are the time to break out the big guns. But a gorgeous rock needs a complementary manicure to ensure your hands are as chic as that Veuve you're holding. Here, our favourite match-ups for every budget, much like champagne and oysters.

Whimsically wishing upon a star is at your fingertips with this dainty design in the Orelia Open Crystal Star Midi Ring ($14). Adding some joie de vivre to any holiday ensemble, let this delicate midi ring make an understated statement and pare nails down to really let this star shine bright. Buff nails shiny and simply top with a few coats of Butter London’s Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat; although technically — yes, a basecoat — expert nail artists swipe this on alone for that perfect no-mani mani look.
The most classic of the bunch, this BaubleBar Lapis Ring ($38) is a modern take on the quintessential cocktail ring that goes with pretty much anything and everything. The slightly earthy stone adds an element of laidback cool, and an equally time-honored and chic manicure best suits this rock. Bring the ever-popular ’30s half-moon manicure into modern day style by choosing an opaque, metallic shade and leaving the moons naked. To bring out the cool tones of the stone, choose a deep slate-grey shimmer, like RGB’s polish in Dusk. The gunmetal shade reflects a multitude of undertones, making it a perfect, stylishly mod pick.
