Discover Aura Nails

Aura Nails have arrived in the world of manicure with enormous force, and it is an ideal nail trend to experiment with colors and give your manicure a lot of originality . At Manicura24 , we detected this trend a few months ago, when we told you what the manicure trends that were going to be sweeping in 2023 were going to be.

What are Aura Nails?

Aura Nails , by definition, are a manicure design that combines at least two colours, creating a gradient and blurred effect, usually circular, from the centre of the nail . It is about creating a soft contrast between colours that allows combining both similar and complementary shades. The aim is to create an optical effect that provides depth.

To create Aura Nails , it is best to play with a lighter and a darker shade , which can be from the same color range or a similar color. It will depend on your personal taste how to combine them: you can choose to put the lighter one on the base and the darker one on top, or the other way around.

How to do a manicure with Aura?

If you want to know how to do an Aura manicure , you've come to the right place! Aura Nails are achieved by applying a base colour to the entire surface of the nail with the permanent nail polish of your choice. Once you've dried this first layer in a lamp, choose the colour you want to apply in a blurred manner on the top layer and use a gradient sponge to achieve this effect. We recommend using an Art Paint Gel Thick to create the gradient with the sponge, this way you'll be able to distribute the product better and, therefore, achieve a perfect result.

When creating the blended circle with the sponge, try to start in the center of the nail so that there is more product and blend outwards when the sponge does not have as much gel. Remember that the Art Paint Gel must also be dried in a lamp. Once dry, finish the manicure with the finisher of your choice.
