Barbie Swirls Nail Art Inspiration for #CBBxManiMonday

Press samples

This long weekend has taken me by surprise! I kept thinking the Civic holiday was still a week away, but here I am enjoying my time off on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Recently, I faced a challenging moment at work that left me feeling a bit off balance. However, after engaging in meaningful conversations with supportive friends and reflecting on the acknowledgments I’ve received regarding my work performance over the past year, I realized my self-worth is undeniable. So, I’m choosing to embrace positivity and creativity, which is why I decided to showcase my favorite OPI x Barbie polishes in today’s manicure. OPI also launched two sets of Barbie-themed press-on nails, and I was particularly drawn to a stunning swirly pink and blue design that I couldn’t wait to recreate on my own nails!

To create this vibrant nail art, I utilized a thin nail art brush to meticulously paint the lines. Although I had envisioned thinner blue lines, I’m genuinely pleased with the overall outcome! My nails have grown long again, giving them a striking appearance that almost resembles acrylic nails. It’s important to note, though, that these fabulous nails are all-natural—just a testament to the incredible strength and health of my own nails! With a bit of creativity and the right tools, anyone can achieve stunning nail art without needing artificial enhancements.
