The Barbie movie has been out for a few weeks now, which means the Barbiecore aesthetic has been infiltrating every aspect of our lives for months. From our nails, clothes, and beauty products to the cast’s dazzling hot pink press tour, it feels like everything has been Barbie-fied. While it has been fun, some of us may be craving a change from the endless sea of hot pink.
If you’re still enjoying the summery, hot pink manicures, that’s great! But if you’re like me and are ready for something new, I’ve got you covered. Here are 10 nail ideas that are anything but Barbie-inspired for those of us looking to say goodbye to the summer of Barbie.
1. Baby Blue Nails
If you want a break from all the pink, try cooling down your color palette with baby blue nail styles. You can experiment with blueberry milk manicures, Tiffany blue polish, or blue French tips.
2. Iced Coffee Nails
Barbie can’t drink coffee, so why not quench your thirst for all things not-pink with iced coffee nails? You can go for mocha swirl styles, French tips, chocolate drip nails, or simply coffee-colored brown.
3. All-Black
These all-black goth-revival nail ideas are more suited for Bratz than Barbie. They’re edgy and not colorful enough even for “weird Barbie.” Consider black French tips, black nails with edgy stars, or ethereal black ombre nails.
4. Baroque Nails
Barbie is a maximalist, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to pink. Try some Baroque-inspired nails to bring out your regal energy. Deep reds, gold, and ornamental gems can be your guide.
5. Aura Nails
