Barbie pink. Nails, heels, outfits. This winter will be all about the Barbie movie. There’s a stylish way to jump on the Barbiecore trend…

Barbie energy

That bright pink, sunny, always smiling vibe is spilling into fashion, beauty and home trends. Australian Barbie star Margot Robbie even arrived in Sydney ahead of the movie launch on July 20, in a pink check jacket, wheeling retro pink luggage through the airport. It’s literally everywhere. Without fully committing to Barbie Pink, how can you join the confident vibe? With your manicure.

Surprisingly, Barbie’s nails aren’t that bold, vibrant Barbie pink colour in the movie, though that’s a great shade too. Instead, she wears an opaque pastel pink like Mavala Riga. No doubt her toes are matching in her signature high heel mule sandals – even Manolo Blahnik is on the Barbie bandwagon with real-life mules, as seen worn in black on Jennifer Lawrence. You can’t beat a Barbie mule for showcasing a fab pedi.

Pick your pink

You are absolutely spoilt for choice with Mavala’s Barbie-inspired pink shades – from classic Barbie pink in Bali – which speaks to your inner child, to a softer version in Sweety, or even pale Wichita. Click here for more beautiful pink shades that suit your own pink vibe.
