Meghan's Wedding Nails Followed Strict Royal Protocol, but They Were Still Gorgeous

Updated on May 27, 2018 at 1:45 PM

Wedding nails are usually neutral-toned, sheer, and minimalist, with the possibility of a tiny bit of nail art (that your mom won't tell you off for!), and Meghan's choice in nail color for her wedding day was no different.

Meghan opted to echo the color she wore for her engagement photos, ensuring not to distract attention away from her dazzling ring and choosing a shade that is royal family approved. As royal protocol states, women must have clean, groomed nails with no bright colors or nail art allowed (although Princess Eugenie has broken this rule in favor of some patriotic nail art).

Meghan might have even opted for the same color Queen Elizabeth II has worn for 29 years. Essie's Ballet Slippers, a sheer pink, is a favorite among the royal family.
