The Nail Polish Colors Men Are Most Attracted To
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, we couldn’t wait to see her wedding gown and which tiara she would wear. While Markle looked beautiful in her flawless makeup, the world was taken by her manicure. Of course, with the ring on her finger- her nails had to be impeccable.
It was exclusively revealed to Vogue UK that Markle got her wedding manicure done at DryBar London and wore CND Shellac with a layer of the shade ‘Unmasked’ and two top coats of the shade ‘Negligee.’ The two colors were custom-mixed to create a unique and one-of-a-kind shade of “milky, pinky nude.” While the world knows the late Queen Elizabeth is a fan of Essie’s ‘Ballet Slippers,’ a pale pink nail polish, one of their best-sellers and one of the highest-selling nail polishes in the world (per Who What Wear).

Nail and nail polish trends change with the season, where most people go bright in the summer, darker in the colder months, and bring on all the glitter and sequins during the holidays. Not that there are any set rules on what color you should wear.
