Now that it's scorching outside, all I can think about are heatlesshairstyles and pink summer nails. It's taken me years to lean into this, but I love the color pink — unabashedly. I'm the friend who would wear five pink outfits during a girls trip, so it makes sense that all my favorite nail designs naturally involve this color. Since I'm headed to the nail salon soon, I put together a list of pink nail designs to try. If you can't get enough of Barbiecore — like me — you'll be running to show these designs to your nail tech soon!

Nail tech Kenna Crump originally created this Barbie-inspired manicure for a client's birthday. If you're still excited about the movie's genius marketing and can't get enough, you'll love this design.

You don't have to get acrylic nail extensions to achieve something cute and memorable. Just ask Tamami Page who also created this cute set inspired in honor of the Barbie movie.

I still dream about these nails because I got them during a pivotal point in my life. I'd just secured my first apartment by myself and decided to take part of little treat culture by celebrating with a trip to the nail salon.
Although you don't have to wear your nails this long, this design is cute for the girly who likes statement nails that do just enough to command attention.

This design was the result of staring at Pinterest boards and getting irritated with how many options I kept seeing. I told my nail tech I had to have a deep shade of pink included in the design, but then I let her have free reign with the rest of the colors. So, if you want something more simple and abstract, show this nail set to your nail tech.

This design is giving me all the Limited Too vibes with the bright, youthful colors. While it's not all pink, it's giving girly in allllll the right ways.

The perfect shade of pink does exist — just ask Olive and June's Taffy nail polish.

If you don't want to wait for nail polish to dry — even if it's the perfect pink — you can wear these press-on nails by Olive and June. They're a similar shade to Taffy, so you'll still feel Barbielicious while wearing them.
