The Duchess of Sussex broke tradition with her pretty nude pink manicure rather than the sheer nail polishes favoured by other royals including the Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen, but her bridal manicure is one that brides everywhere have been longing to recreate ever since.

CND Shellac products were used on Meghan's nails, an ideal choice for the Duchess as they create manicures that last two weeks, ensuring her polish was chip-free for those close-up shots as she exchanged wedding rings with Prince Harry.
