Allure didn't just have a front row seat at Westminster Abbey this morning, we made an appearance right at the altar—in the form of Kate Middleton's freshly painted monarchical manicure. To our surprise, and delight, the news broke this morning that for the most watched wedding in the world, manicurist Marina Sandoval used a mix of Bourjois So Laque Nail Enamel in Rose Lounge (a very pale pink) and Essie Nail Polish in Allure, a beige polish Essie Weingarten created for the magazine almost 15 years ago. "I am so excited, you have no idea," Weingarten told us this morning over the phone. "I was screaming when I found out. You have the most perfect nude on the most perfect manicured nails and we're so fortunate that the royals chose to wear it on the most important day of their lives." An interesting tidbit? Essie polish has been the go-to nail product for every royal ceremony that Weingarten can remember.

Like many things in life, it does depend, but as a rule of thumb we’d recommend sitting tight for at least 15 minutes to let your nails dry. And although your nails should be touch-dry after 15 minutes, try to avoid anything that could cause smudges for another 2 or 3 hours. Remember that manicure-specific details like the shade, the number of coats, the type of nail polish, and how long you’ve had the bottle can affect drying time, as can external factors like the temperature and humidity levels. Not all nail polish will harden your nails, but you can find options enriched with health-boosting ingredients for your nails. essie’s TREAT, LOVE & COLOURrange is a 1-step strength & colour collection that gives you stronger nails in just 1 week. Not only does it come in a wide range of on-trend colours, but it transforms your nail health with 60% less peeling and 35% less breakage. • If you’re using gel nail polish, make sure you apply a specially formulated top coat, like the unique gel couture top coat.
