Get Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding Manicure Look




From her dress to her jewelry to her makeup, every detail of Kate Middleton's royal wedding look has been examined and applauded by just about the entire world. I was a little too thrilled to discover (as I'm sure many of you were as well) that, while Kate's Alexander McQueen gown and diamond encrusted tiara might be out of our reach, there is one thing we can imitate on a budget and that is her monarchical manicure!

According to Allure magazine's blog, manicurist Marina Sandoval used a mix of Bourjois So Laque! Nail Polish in Rose Lounge (currently unavailable) and Essie Nail Polish in Allure, a beige polish Essie Weingarten created for the magazine almost 15 years ago. Such a chic, classic choice. Think it'll be called Kate Middleton Pink from now on?
