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 beauty looks from the cast on the press tour. Take Margot Robbie and her team’s replications of some of the major Barbie doll looks—it’s iconic.
And the the details haven’t been missed on the hair, makeup and nails. Take Margot’s Totally Hair Barbie look. 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 more to Oppenheimer than Barbie) you won’t find me wearing head-to-toe pink, however, Barbie nail designs are something I can get on board with.

Here’s a close-up on those psychedelic swirls we saw on Margot Robbie during the Mexico stop on the press tour. Goldstein even shows you 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.
Not every Barbie-inspired nail design has to be hot pink. Celebrity manicurist Michelle Class demonstrates how a pink almond manicure is always a winner.
