The Barbie movie is all the rage right now, so in tribute to the movie, I’m going to show you a gorgeous pink nail design with a pool water effect.


I am in love with this technique, and by the end of the tutorial, you will be too. Let’s get started!

Tools and materials:

  • White nail polish 
  • UV light
  • Watercolor gel
  • Pink gel polish
  • Top coat
Applying base

1. Apply base

First, apply a white base to all your nails. Proceed to cure your nails for a minute.

Adding dots

Dot on some pink gel polish in splotches. Repeat on all of your nails. Then cure your nails for one minute.

4. Apply top coat

Finish by applying a top coat. Then cure your nails for a minute.

Here are the finished nails. The beauty of applying gel polish on top of a watercolor base is that the splotches have spread to create a gorgeous watercolor effect.


I love the hot pink color, and the design gets a chef’s kiss from me.
