Meghan Markle breaks royal protocol with her nail polish because she's a rebel queen – Mashable
By Rachel ThompsonMeghan Markle is a breath of fresh air. Not only is she a women’s rights advocate, she’s also subtly but effectively bringing the royal family into the 21st century.
The duchess’ surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards caused a bit of a stir on social media because her nail polish broke with royal tradition.
Judging by the photos, Meghan opted for a black or rouge noir shade of nail polish to match her one-shoulder black gown. Per People magazine, black nail varnish is “a rare choice” for members of the royal family. The Queen’s go-to colour is Essie’s Ballet Slippers, which she’s been using 1989 when the royal hairdresser declared it “the only colour Her Majesty would wear.”

Meghan Markle broke the royal rules of only wearing natural nailmpolish to wear black polish. She is what was my forever my mood my senior year of HS. “No dark nail polish” shows up in black. “No sneakers” wears ugg slippers to class. “No sweatshirts” wears one everyday.
