This summer, we’re living in Barbie’s world.
Barbiecore has taken the internet by storm in honor of the release of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie as the infamous blonde. With countless beauty and fashion collaborations celebrating the film’s release, your clients are very likely going to want in on this trend. Here, nail artist Tina Zavala (@popstar.nails) shares a tutorial to create a Barbiecore nail set that’s perfect for a summer spent at Barbie’s dreamhouse.

- Grab a ball of 3D gel, and roll the ball into a string. Use the string to create a round “O” pool float shape.
- Starting in sections, paint the pool float Barbie pink and light blue. Cure when finished.
