I see what you want there and it's a pretty good idea. Although it would be more efficient to do it with op amps to make a flip-flop, you can also make a latching circuit with a double-ganged NO relay.

The second gang runs in parallel with your momentary switch so it keeps the relay energized when closed. The only way to release the latching circuit is to remove power.
