Move over “clean girl" aesthetic because “Barbiecore” is taking over. This nostalgic, dopamine-induced trend embodies the bright and vibrant signature-pink aesthetic of none other than the iconic fashion doll. And one way to get in on the latest craze is to opt for a Barbiecore-inspired nail design.
