For when I don’t have the time to perform a full-blown manicure, I always reach for Ballet Slippers. It’s so subtle you’ve likely never noticed it, though closer inspection shows her nails are often painted a soft and milky barely-there pink. I like that it's the 'no-makeup makeup' of nails, if you will, but it can also work as a more opaque pink with multiple coats or—and this is my favorite part—with other polishes to tone them down, brighten them up, or just add a little shine. Lauren Swanson is the former director of commerce content operations and strategy at Condé Nast and the former senior commerce editor of Allure.

Enriched with silicones, the drops add shine whilst accelerating drying time so you can be on the go in no time. It’s timeless, so sees no sign of ageing anytime soon, and because the formula is transparent, a single coat allows the natural pink of your own nail to show through, making it a flattering choice for all skin tones. Rosy tones not only brighten your nails, but they add colours while still sitting within neutral territory. But that's just me—and other, more seasoned staffers had no qualms about wearing dark or colorful polish. According to nail care brand Essie, the Queen’s hairdresser sent the brand a letter in 1989 requesting a bottle of its cult shade Ballet Slippers; ‘the only colour Her Majesty would wear.Those who frequent a nude nail at home will be familiar with the occasional problems with streaking (which can be the case for paler shades of polish).

Recognised for whimsical names, iconic colours and square bottles with white caps, the essie nail polish sits perfectly in the hand and features internal rounded corners so you can reach every last drop of your favourite shade. Essie Weingarten launched her eponymous line of nail colors back in 1981 (to put it into perspective, that's the same year Markle graced the planet with her presence). Drops: Apply 1 or 2 drops at the base of cuticle and let drops flow to tip of freshly polished nails with the enclosed dropper. It was the first nail polish color that I ever picked out on my own and remained a mainstay in my (rapidly expanding) lacquer collection.

It goes with everything but I need to moisturize my hands like mad otherwise, the dry spots and cuticles look more obvious.

Express your personality and slip into something colourful with the high-shine nail varnish from essie, the USA's nail salon expert since 1981. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Its award-winning formula combines a crystal clear solvent base with pure micro-milled pigments and salon-grade concentration to create a long-lasting, chip-resistant array of hues. To stop it looking streaky required 3-4 coats, by which time your nails look ridiculous and the shade is no longer subtle.Essie Ballet Slippers is so beloved by the monarch, in fact, that it's reportedly the only color that she'll let touch her royal fingernails. Reportedly, it was named to pay homage to Weingarten's girlhood ritual of getting manicures with her mother after ballet class every Saturday.
