Summer’s not over yet! Before you think about wrapping up on summer nail looks, there is still at least one colorful trend you and your clients must indulge in.
For lovers of all things neon, Barbiecore is here to brighten your day. Partially fueled by stills from the upcoming Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie movie featuring Margot Robbie, the vibrant fashion trend continues to build momentum amongst celebrities, influencers, and TikTok stars alike.
Of course, with a name like Barbiecore, pink is the go-to nail color for most lovers of the trend. For your clients who are diehard pink connoisseurs, Pear Nova has exactly the lacquer and gel shades you need. The look below was created with the sheer candy-pink shade Floating Market Buy & Bye, available in a lacquer.
For the bad gals, Pear Nova’s Pink Collar Crime is the perfect Barbiecore shade. The vibrant fuchsia crème comes in both lacquer and gel.
If your client isn’t a fan of pink, any neon color can complete the ultra-feminine Barbiecore look. Take Pose star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez for instance, who rocked a set of bright green nails to compliment her neon coral outfit. Celebrity nail tech Sonya Belakhlef used ORLY’s lacquer in the shade Neon Paradise on Rodriguez for this look.
“Michaela Jaé is a real-life Barbie,” Belakhlef says. “The Barbiecore trend works so well because not only do the colors match the hot weather, but bright neon shades are universal and complement any skin tone. You can’t go wrong with day glow!”
