With regards to the Hermès nail polish, here are a few of my faves. Since I am posting most of the pics with VCA bling, I am hoping they count as VCA in action

Rose Baltique is my absolute fave shade:

Rose Coquille is a tad bit too sheer for me but I still like it:

Oh lord did not intend to post a gazillion pics! Sorry everyone for spamming with so many pics at the same time! I do get carried away sometimes with sharing my love for blings, bags, shoes, shawls and nail polishes

Your nails, bling, clothing and pictures are always so beautiful.

Not too many pictures at all ; they’re so elegant I love seeing how you style everything

You are too kind! Thank you @A bottle of Red … when I am off work in summer, I am usually in super casual clothing. The rest of the year, my shawls add a little bit of interesting dimension to my otherwise boring formal clothes

Thank you so much @lynne_ross .. I swear it’s the amazing lighting in the car

I was never a coral gal either. I was mostly a red gal, but I now find reds too harsh. I also love how coral pops and is so happy. There are so many shades of coral, and for me, I find the best coral is one that has more orange (e.g. a drop of yellow) vs. too much red, which turns it more reddish coral or pinky coral.

I think if you love a bright coral, especially for your toes, you will love Rose Horizon. It screams happy toes! I put Rose Horizon on my toes too and love it!
I will wear Orange Boite next and post for you and @tenshix. I think I am going to love Orange Boite!

@tenshix
My gut says you will love Orange Boite more than Rose Horizon. If I read you correctly, you want something bright, but not too much "red coral" and no to "bright pink coral." You want a crispy orange coral. That's actually what I want too, and that's Orange Boite! It's a nice bright orange, but because it has a lot of white in it, it's a clean, calm, yet bright orange. It's like a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice, bright, yet clean (not orange juice in a carton which is too intense).

I will put on Orange Boite next and report back!
And yes, I love love love the fat brush! In the photo I posted, I did my own nails. I am the worst painter, so I rarely do my own nails, but the big fat brush helped a lot especially with the curved edge. I didn't get much color on my cuticles, but of course, I still got color all over the sides of my nails.
But... soap & water to the rescue! After my nails dried, I just soaked my hands for a few seconds to soften my skin and scraped off the messy sides.

I envy all of you who do such a great job painting your nails! Painting nails is definitely an art.

I couldn’t tell that you did your nails yourself in your photos honestly, I thought it was professionally done!! It was very neat and tidy. The brushes on them do make it a lot easier to do it yourself though and I like that there’s minimal streaking. Ok I’ll wait back for your report on Orange Boite, I may have to jump to the bright polish pool after

Also completely agree with you on Rose Baltique being the first fave then Rose Coquille second and Rose Porcelain as the last nude I liked. But like you said I think it could be a nice one for winter. All are great nude polishes though, I’m so glad we were able to convert some TPF members here to try them too

Oh myyyy goodness, is there a day you don’t look fabulous and coordinated ever? Your DH is so very blessed You have such nice model like hands and fingernails, Hermes needs to hire you for their ads. I really love seeing all these shades on others and seeing which ones are your favorites too, so happy to find another gal for the Rose Baltique lovers fan club It’s just the best neutral nude and universally flattering on any skintone IMO. I love Vert Ecossais too, was using that last Christmas and felt very festive but chic, I just love the deep teal green shade. Thank you for all these eye candy photos with bling and outfits to boot!

@eternallove4bag and @BigAkoya: Late to reply to all of your beautiful shots with Hermes nails polish....cannot tell you both how much I appreciate these posts (always looking for that perfect nude, coral, green, etc), and how nicely you've coordinated every one of them with your Hermes and VCA goodies! Thank you for the reviews!

You my dear know how to feel a girl feel so special thank you always @tenshix
I honestly feel Hermès nailed it with their Rose Baltique. It’s just perfect and I reach out for it the most! Can’t wait to see what other colors they launch.

Thank you @WingNut I love nail polishes myself and feel they complete the look so always on the hunt myself to find the perfect shades.

Here are a few comparison shots. The rings are actually about the same size when lotus is worn closed. The lotus has a higher profile than the noeud. I was thinking the noeud sticker out more but it actually does not. In person the noeud looks more 3d than than lotus even though it has a lower profile. To me they both have similar presence for different reasons. Wish I had frivole btf ring to compare to…someday…

The Noeud looks beautiful on you. You have lovely hands. Which earrings do you wear with your rings?

Thanks!
I have accepted I am one of those people that does not match my jewellery pieces. I wear whatever suits my clothing or occasion, but the individual pieces might not match. Since my noeud is an often worn piece I have worn it with a range of earrings in wg, yg, diamonds, stones, studs, hoops. I can’t say I have a perfect pairing.

I love all of them, they are gorgeous on you and all very different looks.

I especially love the fact you do not mix metals if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong as photos are tough to really tell.
It looks like you stayed with white metal wearing your Lotus, with RG wearing your RG Frivole, and YG wearing your butterfly.
It looks really coordinated, matchy matchy unmatched pieces which I really like.

The Rolex looks great with your Frivole, a nice mix of manly bold and girly feminine which I think is such an elegant chic look.
Beautiful pieces!

P.S. I think it's okay to wear your butterfly ring while you wash your hands. I have a turquoise set (non-VCA) that includes a ring. I wear it often in the summer. When I was my hands, I also dry the ring and wipe down the turquoise stone. I think it's letting it soak in a liquid that causes the stone to react with the chemicals and the color to change. If you moisturize, I would definitely remove the ring first. My turquoise ring has not changed color, and I wash my hands often. However, my turquoise earrings have turned a darker blue green due to my morning routine which is always lotion first, then jewelry. Hence, my nice moisturized fingers always touch my earrings which caused it to get darker. I'm not going to change my routine, but just FYI that I do think if you wipe dry the turquoise after you wash your hands, it will be fine.

Thank you! I try to not mix metals if possible, but sometimes I’m pressed for time and the coordination goes out the window. So glad to hear that your turquoise withstood the washing of hands . I can’t even count the number of times I’ve washed my hands and forgotten to take off the ring. I feel much better now about wearing my turquoise butterfly. We’re nearing the end of summer so I should maximize cost per wear!
