Between gourmet baskets, beeswax candle making, and lemon and honey cake, Meghan Markle delights foodies in her latest culinary lifestyle show, "With Love, Meghan" (Netflix). And as a style icon, the Duchess of Sussex hasn't overlooked a single detail.
Perfectly styled down to her fingertips, she embraces the hottest manicure trend of the moment in this first season: the milky manicure. Discreet, sophisticated, and timeless, this trend is ultra-minimalist and stands out from the rest with its extremely clean look. We love it.
Halfway between soap nails and milky nails
Also called milky nails or soap nails, the milky manicure is distinguished by a semi-transparent, milky white shade that gives nails a soft and luminous effect. Less austere than opaque white polish, more sophisticated than a simple nude, milky or soap nails offer that certain "je ne sais quoi" of natural elegance that suits all skin tones and all occasions.
Meghan Markle has long worn a nude shade on her nails. A fan of elegant and understated looks for her public appearances, she often favors subtle colors, natural makeup, and minimalist accessories.
This choice is reminiscent of the color she wore at her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018: Essie's pale pink Ballet Slippers polish, which, according to rumors, was Queen Elizabeth II's favorite.
What nude polish does Meghan Markle wear?
Meghan Markle has never revealed the nail polish she used for the television show. But judging by its ultra-glossy finish and thickness, it appears to be a gel polish.
The editors at Marie Claire have found perfect alternatives to recreate the Duchess of Sussex's manicure. Discover below which polishes to choose to achieve her signature milky manicure.
