And you probably have it too
Queen Elizabeth may spend a small fortune on perfume, but when it comes to her nail polish, she’s much more partial to a bargain.
It turns out that, being very particular about her mani, she’s been wearing the same polish for 30 years, and it costs just £7.99 a bottle.
According to Essie, its ballet slippers shade is ‘the only colour Her Majesty would wear’.

It all started in 1989 when the Queen’s hairdresser wrote the company a letter requesting the particular shade.
We can see why she picked it too. It’s a subtle sheer pink that looks natural and goes with everything.
She’s not the only royal to love a bit of Essie either, as Kate Middleton wore allure, a similar shade of pink, on her wedding day to Prince William.
Plus, you just can’t knock the price.
