Princess Eugenie Rocks DIY Union Jack Nails At Guildhall Diamond Jubilee Celebration (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 06/05/2012 6:00 pm Updated: 08/05/2012 5:12 am

Man, these Brits like to party. The never-ending string of Diamond Jubilee events came to a climactic close with a blowout banquet for Queen Elizabeth II at Guildhall, a reception hall for the City Of London. Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were all in attendance, along with other royals and notables. There was even an attendee, Lady Frederick Windsor, wearing an almost-identical outfit to the Duchess of Cambridge (we imagine it was the most cordial fashion showdown ever).

Some of the more enthusiastic crowd members lining the street during the carriage procession wore the national colors and painted their faces as a show of patriotism, but Princess Eugenie opted for a more subtle display of national pride: Union Jack nails. The princess has been maintaining the flag nail art since the Epsom Derby kick-off, and, since there doesn't seem to be a discernable chip, we're assuming she's been touching up.

Even though there's a pretty good chance that the royal used a manicurist, we kind of love the idea of her sifting through her nail polish collection and taking the time to carefully create a miniature Union Jack on each nail. This level of DIY-commitment is purely aspirational for us, but would you try it?

Is it just me or does it look like someone is trying to grab Prince William's willy?

It could be a willy tickle. It looks like he doesn't mind either!

Big deal. I have a friend who does her nails every way possible. Last week was the Swedish flag to celebrate their Eurovision win, this week the American flag.

Kate does look lovely but does anyone besides me want to feed her a sandwich.

You would think that with all the money they have for this occasion, they would look more polished. Only Sophie Winklemann looks all together polished here. No over the top hat, not drapery, no awkward shapes. Her whole look goes together.

What is that on Zara's head? It looks like the horns of an endangered species that was poached in Kenya.

She has some strange head gear. Beatrice's crown molding is nothing compared to some of it.

Are the princesses Beatrice and Eugenie revenge-dressing because their mum is not welcome at royal parties?

In a salute to austerity, Camilla had her shower curtain cut into a coat. And no doubt,in a double measure of austerity, she'll wear twice

It's too bad it's not Diana there and not HER. She would never have worn that number. It would have been an LBD with a plunging neckline. Now that's class, Agness.

I must admit Gracie that I'd never hang that gorgeous coat in my bathroom. I think it's beautiful and she looks great. I love her chapeau.

Hat is wonderful, and most of her clothing choices are wonderful.
