Attention nail polish lovers: Hermès has entered the chat. Following the launch of its own beauty line in March 2020, the brand is once again expanding its offering with Les Mains Hermès, a nail polish collection guaranteed to upgrade your mani game this fall.
The collection, launching October 15, comprises 24 stunning nail lacquers (inspired by Hermès’s iconic Parisian address, 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré) in an assortment of shades from vibrant fuchsia pinks, such as Rouge Exotique, to Violet Byzantin, a moody dark plum. A best-seller is sure to be the luxury house’s signature orange hue, Orange Boîte. The made-in-France formulas promise high concentrations of ultra-fine pigments, and are based on existing lipstick shades, so you can match your tips to your lips.
That’s not all, though. Les Main Hermès offers up a full manicure experience, elevating the at-home beauty ritual with a high-gloss transparent gel top coat, protective enamel base coat, an all-natural nail and cuticle oil, branded poplar wood nail files and an incredibly lush hand cream (the scent — a beautiful blend of sandalwood, arnica, rosewater and patchouli — was dreamed up by in-house perfumer Christine Nagel).
Of course, it wouldn’t be Hermès without meticulous attention to design and detail. The nail enamels are dressed up with an elegant white and gold cap created in collaboration with Pierre Hardy (the weighty toppers are a unifying thread in the entire beauty line). No Birkin, no problem — consider these it-polishes a more attainable but equally chic option.
