Get One Step Closer to the Meghan Markle Life With the Affordable Nail Polish She Wore in Her Engagement Photos

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have the ultimate fairy tale story, and the recent news of their engagement is totally the cherry on top. Of course, when one gets royally engaged, one must be wearing a royal nail color, especially when all eyes are being drawn to that ring! You would think Meghan’s manicure would involve a super expensive luxe shade, but surprise––you can literally walk over to your local drugstore and pick up her exact polish.

In photos from the couple’s engagement announcement, Meghan can be seen wearing the classic shade “Ballet Slippers” from Essie. Essie is already iconic, and according to Refinery 29, Queen Elizabeth II loves the color too. You can rock this royal-approved shade for just $9 at Target.

We wish the Royal couple the best of luck and can’t wait to see if this is the polish will make a reappearance at the Royal wedding.
