This winter, you can add to your collection of clothes and accessories inspired by Kate Middleton with Essie's holiday nail polish set. The six shades are all inspired by royalty, particularly K.Middy herself. Colors include Where's My Chauffeur (matte turquoise), She's Pampered (classic red), and Beyond Cozy (super-glittery gold). This isn't the first time that either lady has inspired nail polish: Butter London released shades for Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee and the Kate/William engagement ("No More Waity Katie").

"It's one part Queen Elizabeth, two parts Duchess of Cambridge," said head polish queen Essie Weingarten. "They don't mince words and never mince color." As for a color named after Pippa Middleton's famous butt? Maybe OPI will deliver on the snarky-naming front.
