Barbiecore Isn't Going Anywhere—21 Barbie Nail Designs I Want
Like everyone else right now, I've been swept up in Barbie mania. I went to see the film last weekend (spoiler alert: it's great) and I've been captivated by the looks from the cast on the press tour. Take Margot Robbie and her team's replications of some of the major Barbie doll looks—absolutely iconic.

Celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein recreated the psychedelic Emilio Pucci print dress on her nails, and I've become obsessed. As someone whose wardrobe is comprised of various shades of black, white and beige (you could say that my colour palette lends itself more to Oppenheimer than Barbie), you won't find me wearing head-to-toe pink. Barbie nail designs, however, are something I can get on board with.

@betina_goldsteinHere's a close-up on those psychedelic swirls we saw on Margot Robbie during the Mexico stop on the press tour. Goldstein even shows how to replicate the look on her IG, and it's surprisingly easy to do. It involves dropping nail polish colours into water, swirling them together and then dipping your nail into the water to allow the design to adhere. Incredible.
