‘Tis the season for pampering; a period for some much-needed respite after 365 days of toil and tribulation. For those who’ve arranged their respective mane and facial appointments, might we also suggest some TLC for a criminally under-appreciated part of your body? That is, your digits and talons. Lucky for us, luxury fashion house Hermès has it covered. The latest additions to the Hermès Beauty family comprises nourishing hand creams and oils for dry, parched skin; a full range of base, nail polish, and lacquer; as well as accessories to keep everything in tip-top shape. We provide a full breakdown of the goods, below.

Hand care
Consistent hand-washing might prove beneficial to keeping COVID-19 at bay – but not so much when it comes to retaining moisture for ’em paws. Should flaking, cracking, or dryness become an issue, we recommend integrating the Hermès Beauty Hand Care Cream into your routine. Packed with nourishing ingredients in the form of mulberry extract and shea butter, its balm-like texture is designed to melt into skin to re-introduce hydration within seamlessly. Then, there’s the Nail and Cuticle Oil; a potent blend that contains essential nutrients to fortify brittle claws. Use them in conjunction to witness optimal effects.

Nail beauty
Now that your hands are in prime condition, it’s time to add a little pizzaz to them. Hermès grants twenty four whole options in the form of nail polish which utilise the brand’s expertise in enamelling. The end result: Rich, nuanced hues which glide on like a dream, ranging from peacock green to slate grey. As any nail buff can attest, the trick to a long-lasting manicure is, of course, to begin with a base. Follow that with your colour of choice, before sealing off your efforts with a top coat.

Accessories
But did you really engage in a Hermès-approved beauty ritual if you didn’t flex the whole she-bang on Instagram? Be sure to go the whole hog by adding these two key accessories to the mix: A leather nail enamel carousel in the brand’s characteristic orange to display your bottles of polish, and a nail file to buff away imperfections to a high-sheen.
