The 2023 OPI X Barbie Collection was a fun experience last summer. 

We picked up the five pinks from this collection and shared them with you on the blog.

Of the five pinks in that collection, there are two pink glitters and three pink creams; Hi Barbie! is the darkest pink cream of that bunch, and it is also the closest match to the color of the Barbie doll box. Shown in 2 coats, let’s look at a few swatches of OPI Hi Barbie!:

Hi Barbie! is a deeply saturated, warm toned hot pink cream nail polish that looks cute on both the nails and toes. Because this color reminds me of OPI Shorts Story, it’s time to explore these two shades side-by-side.

OPI Hi Barbie! VS OPI Shorts Story

Both colors are hot pink creams, opaque in 2 coats. 

They differ in that OPI Shorts Story is cool-toned lighter pink; OPI Hi Barbie! is warmer-toned richer pink with stronger raspberry hues.

These are both lovely pinks! Can you see the warm versus cool difference?

While they both classify as Barbiecore to me, OPI Hi Barbie! definitely hits the nail on the head as a close match to Barbie’s true pink.

What are your thoughts on this OPI x Barbie shade? Do you like rich hot pinks like this, or do you prefer a lighter pink?

All in all, OPI Hi Barbie! is a great addition to any nail polish collection. It’s packed with pigment, goes on smoothly in 2 coats, and is part of an iconic brand that we all know and love - Barbie. Get OPI Hi Barbie! on eBay Get OPI Shorts Story at Beyond Polish
