Hi, happy Mother’s Day to all mommies here. Quick question. I already purchased the Rose Epice shade back in 2020. I just rebought it and it reminds me more of Rose Encens. I remember Rose Epice being more terracotta.

Hi everyone, to confirm, is the Gris Etoupe Nail Enamel color still part of the current 24 colors? I've seen many people reselling theirs on different platforms for much more and claiming it's a limited edition color that is sold out.
But the posts in this thread seem to indicate the color was available from various retailers in late 2021, only it might be backordered because of stock issues and COVID.
Thank you!

I was able to purchase one over the weekend. My store finally got one a couple of weeks ago and kindly held it for me as I’ve been waiting for one since they were released. I also saw it pop up online a few weeks ago but waited too long to purchase. By the next day, it was gone.
The lip oil is a tad taller and slightly slimmer than the lipstick. I don’t have a leather sleeve, but it fits the lipstick pouch just fine.

None of the nail polishes were limited edition, it might be just a production issue and it probably will show up soon. In any case I wouldn’t pay extra to all the vultures that are making those false claims and trying to extort money from others!. If you have somebody in Canada they are available on the holt Renfrew website. Otherwise just wait ( I know it can be hard to sit tight sometimes
) , I am sure it will show up and you won’t feel bad paying more for an already expensive nail polish .you can also call/ message the Hermes customer service to have a clear answer.
Agreed. Also, @Rocaille in the US, saks has etoupe for preorder.None of the nail polishes were limited edition, it might be just a production issue and it probably will show up soon.

Finally tried Gris Etoupe last night… as with the others I’ve tried, formula is pretty good. I used 3 thin, even coats for full creamy coverage. The first coat is a bit streaky, but levels off by the second coat. A third coat makes it perfect! And the color in the bottle looks off compared to the bag, but it’s a perfect match when on the nail! I love this color so much! I wish it photographed to the exact color IRL but it’s so difficult to capture Etoupe.

Pourpre Camarine and Rouge Amarelle lip oils. They are long lasting on the lips but do tend to transfer onto coffee cups etc.

I have been using the H polish, base, and top coat regularly for several weeks now and have had no issues. My nails tend to peel regularly and this has not exacerbated it at all, and they actually seem to be better lately.
The worst culprit for me with nail issues is acetone-based polish remover.
I have purchased almost all of the lipsticks, nail lacquers, and now the lip oils. The lip oils are my favorite lip products I’ve ever used. The climate where I live is dry and these are moisturizing without being sticky/tacky at all. They give a hint of color without being overbearing. I could honestly wear these all night and day. I was so shocked that even the oranges and reds were a really beautiful hint of color on the lips. I don’t wear lipsticks in those colors, ever. I barely use my H lipsticks. I will use the lip oils everyday and just rotate through all the colors.
I’m planning trying their base coat, but iffy on their top coat as I have an extremely fast drying top coat that I love and have been using for years… Would you say their top coat is fast drying?
FWIW, my favorite polish remover is Zoya.
No, I don’t think it is fast drying at all. I would say at least 15-20 minutes to fully dry. Nothing like Seche Vite!
The base coat is really nice. It has a white tint so it provides a really lovely base.
