I Tried Meghan Markle’s Nail Trick — And I Get the Hype ๐ ✨
Okay, real talk: I’ve always admired how Meghan Markle looks so put-together, even when she’s just walking to her car. It’s not just the outfits, or the glow — it’s the little details too. And one of those details? Her nails.
While most of us are trying out bold designs or neon summer shades, Meghan has kept her nails shockingly simple. Like... two shades, all the time. And now that I’ve tried them myself? I get it. It’s quiet luxury in the tiniest way.

So What’s the Royal Nail Rule, Anyway?
Apparently, when Meghan was still doing royal duties, there was an unspoken rule about nail color — no bold shades. The late Queen Elizabeth reportedly preferred clean, neutral nails for public appearances.
So out went the bright reds and glossy blacks, and in came a super refined, almost “barely there” nail palette.
๐ธ Meghan’s 2 Go-To Nail Colors
1. Soft Nude-Pink
This is the kind of shade that makes your hands look instantly cleaner, longer, and more elegant. It doesn’t scream for attention — it just whispers chic.
Dupes I Tried (and Loved):
-
Essie “Ballet Slippers” – apparently even the Queen wore this!
-
OPI “Bubble Bath” – classic, creamy pink
-
Sally Hansen “Sheer Ecstasy” – super affordable and subtle
๐ Tip: Two thin coats + a shiny top coat = the Markle magic.
2. Milky White
This one surprised me. It’s not the stark white you’d wear in winter — it’s soft, creamy, and kind of dreamy. It’s giving spa day in Malibu, not TikTok nail trend of the month.
Dupes I loved:
-
Essie “Marshmallow”
-
Olive & June “HD” in White – long-lasting and glossy
-
Beetles Gel “White Ice” – for the gel girlies
๐ผ Her Nail Philosophy = Less Is More
Honestly? It makes sense. Meghan’s minimalist nail vibe matches her wardrobe — sleek, modern, neutral, and timeless. No matter what she’s wearing (jeans or a gown), the nails never compete. They just complete the look.
๐ Meghan-Inspired Nail Kit (What I Use Now):
-
Cuticle Oil Pen (smells like lavender and keeps nails healthy)
-
Glass Nail File (so much better than those metal ones!)
-
Quick-Dry Top Coat (because I don’t have 30 minutes to sit still)
Final Thoughts: I Get It Now
I used to think neutral nails were boring. But now? They’re my secret weapon. They go with everything, they make me feel elegant, and they save me so much time choosing shades. Thanks Meghan, honestly.
You don’t need to be royal to look polished — just grab a bottle of “Ballet Slippers” and treat yourself to a quiet little luxury.
