While Hailey Bieber's glazed donut nails have graced our fingertips for the better part of a year now, it seems the Barbie manicure is about to dominate the summer 2023 nail trends. So, here's how to recreate Margot Robbie's exact Barbie manicure, according to her manicurist.
With the Barbie movie—and the Barbie soundtrack for that matter—now just weeks away, naturally we're going wild for all things Barbiecore. Especially after Margot's Barbie-rrific photoshoot, which saw her sporting a baby pink doll-like manicure.
Now, celeb manicurist, Tom Bachik has revealed actually what he used to create her iconic Barbie nail look—here's the 411...
Margot Robbie's Barbie manicure
Appearing on the summer issue of Vogue, Margot Robbie gave us a plethora of Barbie-inspired looks, all accompanied by a chic, pale pink manicure.
In the snaps, we can see that her nails are medium-length and almond-shaped, with a wash of pastel pink overtop. They're subtle but very Barbie, plus they're also pretty similar to lip oil nails and the lip gloss manicure trends—so if you're already a fan of those TikTok-approved looks, then you'll love Margot's nails.
How to recreate the Barbie manicure
Luckily for us, the nail artist behind Margot's Barbie nails, Tom Bachik, has shared all the intel on how he created this perfectly pink look...
Taking to Instagram, Bachik revealed that he used the Tweezerman x Tom Bachik Nail Care Travel Set, to shape and buff, followed by some Apres Gel X tips, topped with Essie's nail color in shade 'Vanity Fairest.'
If you're a fan of at-home manicures, any gel X-style nail tips will work for this look, but we'd recommend sticking with a similar rounded, almond shape.
If you want to keep your nails as natural as possible, you can also achieve a similar look by applying the Essie shade to your natural nails, following a clear base coat.
