President Barbie Issa Rae debuted a fun pink French tip to the premiere of "Barbie." 

Nail artist Eri Ishizu (@eriishizu) created Rae's nail look for the event using products from OPI's Barbie The Movie Collection

“Issa has been in the mood for pink! We wanted to have fun with the nail look for the Barbie premiere so we decided on using different pink shades," Ishizu shares. "Using the signature color and embracing the playfulness of Barbie, I put a spin on the regular French mani, creating an abstract version.”
