America Fererra, who plays Gloria in the "Barbie" movie, walked the carpet of the film's Los Angeles premiere with a minimalist pink Barbiecore manicure.

Her nail look for the event was created by nail artist Diem Truong (@nailsbydiem) using OPI's Barbie The Movie Collection.

“Since America chose a blush mauve outfit and accessories, she wanted a brighter shade of pink to match the color of her handbag," Truong explains. "‘Hi Barbie!’ was the perfect shade and added that fun vibrant pop of pink against her blush colored outfit.”

If your clients are in their Barbiecore era, this may be just the look to recreate for them! Follow the step-by-step tutorial below to learn how to bring this look to life. 

How-To:

  3. Apply base coat.
  4. Apply two coats of OPI Nail Lacquer in “Hi Barbie!”
  5. Seal the look with top coat.
