I agree 100%! And there doesn't seem to be a bottom in sight. Super glad to have the bags I have been able to obtain, as I don't see any new purchases anytime soon!

@tolliv just wanted to say thank you on your advice about the lip balm. I purchased one on Friday in Pourpre Camarine and I love it
Has anyone tried the Base Coat from H? Thoughts/comments?
My nails are extremely dry & looking for a good option

I tried the enamels with my regular OPI base and top coat and they barely lasted a week before losing huge chunks.
I then tried the H base + top coat and it did last about 10 days before a chunk came off, so it's definitely better with the H top and base coats. The enamels and top coat feel smooth to touch, which I really like compared to OPI etc.
But it took ages to remove this combo, and I felt my nails were stripped a bit dry after.
So I'd recommend the nail oil if your nails are dry.ThanksI tried the enamels with my regular OPI base and top coat and they barely lasted a week before losing huge chunks.

I have tried several of the polishes & I thought perhaps it was just me sensing my nails were dry.
I use for the most part 10 free nail polishes & non acetone remover, but as the weather is now changing
just don't want to have dry nails. I have used the Hermes nail oil but finding it not as special as I thought
it might be in comparison to other nail oils.
Back to my Nailberry & Emilie Heathe, I guess LOL
I feel the Hermes nail polishes left my nails peeling - even using a protective base coat. Isn’t that weird? I didn’t want to think this because I purchased two polishes and the nail oil. Maybe it’s in my head….
Someone else I think it was @cravin mentioned his wife found the same thing happened,
I think he mentioned her nails became very weak and peeled after using H polish.
My nails are rubbish anyway so I wouldn't notice the difference except that I find Essie lasts longer than the H polish but I do find the H brush easier to use neatly.
I have only tried the Hermes oil (which is fine but not amazing in my opinion), but I have had the peeling thing happen with certain other brands that claim to be less toxic than the mainstream nail polishes.
@papertiger I can see some on the French Hermes website (at the bottom of the page). I think these are new?
Nope. Happened to me too. I stopped using the Hermes polish and now my nails are back to being nice and healthy again. Wouldn't be surprised if it's all the chemicals in them.
