Sorry ladies @BigAkoya @tenshix @WingNut been MIA from the forum so couldn’t respond to your posts earlier . Was visiting my parents who were dealing with some health issues and my rule is to completely kick myself off all social media when I visit family so I can selfishly spend all my precious time with them.

@tenshix great minds think alike! I got both of the metallic polishes from Hermès and can’t wait to put them on. Probably the violet first! Gotta enable @BigAkoya so will try and take some pretty pics
@WingNut girl, that orange hue was made for you! You and @BigAkoya make this color look so good! I asked my SA for it but the store was out of it. Waiting for the stock to replenish!

Spending time with your family is not selfish at all!! Praying for your parents’ speedy recovery and hope you all had a lovely time together.

And yes I’m so glad you got the limited edition polishes!! Would love to see mod shot pics when you have time but I already know both shades will look amazing on you.

Thank you @BigAkoya Fortunately, my parents are on their way to recovery. Thank you for asking. Having aging parents that live far away is not the most ideal of situations and I live in constant fear. But, for now, all is well and I will gladly take the small victories

Your whole outfit is amazing… I love the combo with that blue/green (sorry I don’t know Hermes colors well!) birkin! Ive been thinking about a TE 10-motif and this may push me over the edge
Do you wear it often? Do you find it goes with a lot?

Thank you! I love this combo since the earrings are such a statement whereas the frivole bracelet is understated.

Thanks for the kind words! The TE is actually my most recent purchase, and I cannot believe it took me so long to get into it! It may not pop as much lying there in the display compared to other stones, but definitely do try it on as it really is special. I can’t say I have been wearing it a ton because I do try to rotate between pieces, and have been wearing it mostly with neutrals, but your comment is inspiring me to try it with more colourful outfits as well!

I love that bangle so much! Gorgeous.

Thank you! I was obsessed the moment I saw it in the advertisement when it first launched
I think VCA can definitely do a lot of interesting things with the frivole line, hope they expand it further!

I love TE and totally agree it is super special... my dad had TE pieces growing up, as did his father, and so the stone was always special to me from a sentimental perspective, but on its own, it's still just such an underrated stone IMO.

The TE looks great on you.

Here’s the new Hermès nail polish @tenshix @BigAkoya - violet manganese. First impressions: reminds me of Hermès raisin. Very elegant and very wearable if you love purples, which I do. But, this is a color one can live without. It’s a nice enough color to have but you won’t miss it if you don’t have it. I think I am going to like the gris etain polish more.

It looks stunning with what you are wearing though!

Thanks for sharing. I agree, there are other must have colors.

It’s like Rose Tamise for me. I loved it when I saw it online. I hated it when it arrived, and I only tested it on one finger. I just wore it on all ten fingers for last week’s manicure, and I don’t hate it anymore, but I definitely could never love it. Even liking it is still stretching it. I’ll probably try it one more time and get rid of it.

It had too much blue in it, and made my fingers look dead.

@tenshix I am wearing Rose Porcelaine now, and it’s a milky pale pink white, with a tiny drop of blue. The creamy white is actually nice, but that tiny drop of blue also makes my skin look dead, so nope… I’m sticking to Rose Baltique for pale blush and Rose Coquette for pale white.

If I want blue based nails, I want it to be liberate, like Violet Byzantin or Blue Encre. Then it’s so intense, it had the opposite effect and makes my skin come alive.

I bought both those colors, and they are coming up next in rotation!
