Between picking the perfect shade and a formula that’ll actually stick, finding the right nail polish can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. When it comes to manicures, it’s always good to look to celebrities for inspo — especially when they’re Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales has perfected her royal-ready manicure — and the secret is this on-sale nail polish.
From learning the perfect curtsey to picking the right tiara, we’d bet Middleton learned tons of royal tips and tricks from the late Queen Elizabeth II. But one of them that you can get for yourself? The Essie Salon-Quality Nail Polish that according to Women & Home, both of the senior royal members have used on their nails. The best part? You don’t have to have a palace budget to get it — it’s on sale now for just $8 on Amazon.

While the nail polish comes in tons of pretty muted pinks, both Princess Kate and the Queen put their stamp-of-approval on the shade ‘Ballet Slippers.’ It strikes the perfect balance between feminine pink and a “barely there” hue. It’s the kind of color you can rely on for an easy, everyday mani.
With all of the garden parties and diplomat meetings Middleton must attend, we know she can’t afford one single chip on any nail. This nail polish prevents any royal slip-up thanks to its formula that delivers long-lasting results. Pair with their base coat and top coat to get a salon-worthy manicure right in the comfort of your own home.
