#31 Using Dark Nail Polish
At the 2018 British Fashion Awards, Meghan’s appearance caused quite a commotion. Perhaps it was because she did not send out invitations to the party honoring the designer of her wedding dress. Maybe it was the sinful blackness of her nail polish. Someone who is an expert in social graces said she looked stunning, especially for a Hollywood actress. However, royals were admonished to “look a little more demure.” The criticism from that expert was in line with the common belief that royals are forbidden to wear dark nail polish.
But longtime royal correspondent Omid Scobie says there’s no such thing. While the late Queen wore the same shade of pale pink from 1989 until her death, Meghan broke no rules by opting for a darker shade. Also, nobody made a peep when Kate did the same thing years earlier.
