The Baby Sussex Photos Just Inspired Our Next Manicure

Ever since the first photos of Baby Sussex (aka Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor) were released earlier this morning, we've obsessed over every detail: Archie's calm demeanor, Prince Harry's doting gaze and Meghan Markle's...well, everything. 

Unsurprisingly, we're not the only ones who can't get enough of Markle's sparkle. Fans on Twitter have been buzzing about her nails (yet again). Only this time it's less to do with her choice of polish and more to do with the length and shape of her tips. 

Upon closer inspection, the Duchess's nails have been clipped short and squared off on top with slightly rounded off edges (which is our go-to shape for daily wear without tear).

To get your royal mani on at home, we'd recommend using a pair of straight-edge clippers (for easy maneuvering), a medium grit file and a semi-sheer nude polish

On that note: Don't forget the 90-10 rule when shaping your nails. Carry on, then (scrolling through Baby Sussex pics, that is).
