The “Barbie” movie may have come and gone, but its impact will last forever. On Feb. 25, the film’s leading lady Margot Robbie attended the Screen Actor’s Guild awards in California wearing a Schiaparelli mini dress and loose waves flowing down her shoulders. If it didn’t already look like she was ready to step back into “Barbieland” for a role reprisal, there was another detail that drove it all home: her jelly pink nails.
Robbie’s manicure came courtesy of celebrity nail artist Betina Goldstein, who shared the deeper meaning behind the look. “[Margot’s] jelly-pink nails are inspired by the classic vintage Barbie jelly shoes and color matched to her dress,” she captioned a behind-the-scenes photo of the star on Instagram. Goldstein also broke down the exact Chanel nail products that she used to get the look, which included Le Vernis ($32) in Skeiuse, Diva, and Sun Drop, and Le Top Gel Coat ($32).
At the height of the “Barbie” frenzy, the color pink was everywhere and it wasn’t uncommon to see celebrities like Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly wearing the color in their hair, on their nails, and through makeup. This naturally inspired the creation of ultra-feminine beauty trends like coquette nails and hair, which often use some variation of pink nail art and charms or bows.
