The Barbiecore trend has been spreading like wildfire since Valenton’s “Valentino Pink PP Collection” took the fashion world by storm in the fall of 2022. The collection featured 40 stunning electric pink outfits that set the tone for high fashion in the upcoming season, leading to a surge in the all-pink trend known as Barbiecore. And with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film set to release on 21st July, the Internet is buzzing with pink excitement.
However, Barbiecore nail designs are characterized by vibrant, pastel colors, nostalgic elements from the 1990s and early 2000s, and a whimsical, playful attitude inspired by the iconic Barbie doll, which you can channel the essence of the Barbie aesthetic. These nail designs are also known for its bright and bold colors, glitter, holographic elements, cute and girly patterns like hearts, stars, rainbows, and even miniature Barbie doll decals.

You’ll be in good company as celebrities like Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Sydney Sweeney, and more, who have been seen sporting eye-catching electric pink manicures. You could opt for a simple pink polish, or you could go with a more obvious reference to the iconic Barbie, using the unmistakable Barbie font to include the letter ‘B’ in your nail art. For a more subtle approach, consider designs that mix different shades of pink with clear or ultra-sheer, transparent pink, evoking the idea of shiny plastic without being overly literal.
