Meghan Markle Puts a Fresh New Spin on the Royal Manicure
Meghan Markle marked her first public engagement with the Queen with the next big nail color of summer.

Leave it to Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, to commemorate her first public engagement alongside Queen Elizabeth with a subtle yet fresh spin on the traditional royal manicure. Yesterday in Chester, England, Markle adhered to the unspoken rule that discourages bold shades on hands and feet; but instead of an expected neutral pink or unremarkable beige varnish, she played off her demure alabaster Givenchy column dress with nails painted in a soft linen white.

It's a crisp, clean shade with more presence than a wallflower flesh-tone neutral—and one that likely needed legs to transition straight from a rumored two week secret honeymoon with Prince Harry to a formal public outing with her new mother-in-law. Whether worn with a worn tee and denim or an elegant day dress—not to mention her subtle diamond engagement ring (designed by Harry himself)—Markle's polish choice seems destined to shine. Consider a frontrunner for the next big nail color of summer.
