The subtle £9 nail polish Helen Mirren swears by for a luxe but low-maintenance manicure

Helen Mirren is pictured wearing a purple dress and with her hair in a sleek, bob hairstyle at the "La Plus Precieuse Des Marchandises" (The Most Precious Of Cargoes) Red Carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 24, 2024 in Cannes, France/ in a pink watercolour paint-style template.

A sheer pink is arguably one of the most timeless and expensive-looking nail colours around, and Helen Mirren's nail polish go-to is the perfect budget-friendly iteration.

If you've been keeping up with the 2025 nail trends, you'll know that milky, sheer nail polishes have been in high demand, topping the must-have spring nail colours, and now summer's too. Despite their surge in popularity this year though, subtle neutral nail colours and creamy pinks are classics that never tire. In fact, we always find ourselves returning to them whenever we require an infallibly chic manicure. Now, if you're in the market for such a reliable shade, the contents of Helen Mirren's beauty bag might just hold the polish you've been missing.
