Thank you so much for this! Your nails look so amazing. I need to try all three, and yes... that tiny drop of peachy pink is what has been missing in the shades I've tried. I just ordered them on Harrods. Thank you so much for the link!Thank you BigA you are too kind!This is the Hermes nail polish in Rose Baltique that I mentioned before and I love it so much for all the reasons you mentioned. It’s the perfect neutral for my skintone and I’ve neglected all my other polishes in favor of this one repeatedly. Hermes came out with 3 light rose beige shades (Rose Porcelaine, Rose Coquille, Rose Baltique) and I liked that Baltique had a drop more pink to it which matches with some of the underlying redness on my skin.
H.com USA seems to be sold out of Porcelaine and Baltique but you can still get Coquille, and I found Harrods has all 3 online. If you’re not traveling to the UK soon or wanting to pay for the horrendous international shipping hopefully H should restock their polishes again soon! Between the 3 rose beige shades I hope you’ll find your perfect mannequin nail shade.
I’ll link them here for anyone who’s interested:

Funny about Harrods... I was in London just last week!
Harrods is right down the street from the hotel I stay at, and I even went to Harrods three times (mainly to visit the Jewelry Hall though). Harrods is overkill for me (I am a focused shopper), and roaming every floor, would be torture for me, hence I didn't even think to venture into the makeup and fragrance hall. Bummer... as I could have seen all three shades in person.
All is not lost though as all three shades are coming to me soon! I can try on each shade and leave it on for a week to be sure.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share the links!
I think one of these three bottles is going to be my perfect mannequin hand!

You are so sweet!! It’s no problem at all, I really do love these H polishes because of the fat wide brush for easy self-application & the unique colors they offer. They dry fast & lasts a good while even without a top coat (I can be lazy
). Ok enough nail polish plug from me but they really are fabulous.I remembered you saying you were going to the UK in the spring but wasn’t sure if you’d already gone! Bummer that you could’ve seen them in person but I’m glad you were able to order these shades after all. Once you try them I would love to know which shade you like most and if any of them become the holy grail mannequin hand look you’ve been searching for! If so I think all of us would love modshots of your fabulous rings with the mannequin hand look, pretty please with carrots on top!
Wow!!! That’s a great find!!! Wear it in the best of health!!!
Just wanted to share… the Perlee bracelet has been on my wishlist for years and I always bought something else because it was LE or it caught my eye.
This is my new love

Can you post a pic of how your Guilloche is now? I just ordered one and I’m planning to use it every day, without stacking. Would love to see how it holds up!I am loving it! Though I can't fully attest as to how it wears longterm as I just received it a few days ago. But, I have worn it all day, both showering and sleeping with it, every day since I received it with no issues.
I have also read often throughout posts that the Guilloche is extremely fragile & prone to cosmetic damage. The comments make is seem as though you have to be extremely mindful with it but in the handful of days that I have worn it I have not gotten that feeling at all. I have been wearing it while doing everyday household chores, etc. and the motifs look as shiny as the day I opened the box. I would imagine that if it was a fragile as many posts describe it to be I would have noticed scratches, etc. by now.
It probably shouldn't be an everyday, beat around bracelet but I definitely don't think that when you are wearing it that you need to treat it with kid gloves either. Just use common sense as you would with anything of value.
I hope this is helpful to you
Love this soo much! It tempts me greatly (other than they are pretty much impossible to find!)!!!
Focus!
No more straying! Go for it, and place the order! You will be sure to get one. You just purchased pieces from your SA, so you will be top of her list for priorities. I know things are pre-orders are said to be treated equally, but as with life, some are more equal than others.
Strike while the iron is hot! I really hope you decide to get one. It is quite a beautiful and unique piece.
