Aura Nails
Aura nails: the hypnotising nail trend
Aura nails are the trend of the moment. This look is all about a soft, almost dreamy colour gradient that recalls the energy fields around us. With a striking colour in the middle and a fading effect towards the edges, aura nails seem to glow on your nails. The result is mysterious, modern and above all really fun to create yourself.
What exactly are aura nails?
Aura nails are inspired by the colours of an aura. You usually see a bright or striking colour in the middle of the nail, with a soft, fading edge around it. This creates a kind of halo effect that recalls light or energy. Unlike classic nail art, this style is about subtle use of colour and an almost spiritual feel.
The difference between aura and ombre nails
Although aura and ombre nails both play with colour gradients, the difference is in the build-up. With ombre, the colour runs gradually from the cuticle to the tip. With aura nails, the colour accent sits in the middle and fades towards the edges. That gives a completely different effect and makes aura nails feel just that bit more special.
Creating aura nails yourself: here is how
Whether you work with regular nail polish or a gel polish with blooming gel, aura nails are easier than they look. It is mainly about soft blending and the right tools. Below you can read two ways to create this look yourself:
- Aura nails with nail polish: Apply a light base colour and let it dry well. Dip a small sponge into your chosen colour and dab it gently in the middle of the nail. Fade outwards with soft taps for a subtle gradient. Let it dry and apply a top coat for a smooth finish.
- Aura design with gel polish: Start with a base coat (cure it), then a colour and cure that under the lamp too. Next apply a layer of blooming gel and, without curing, dot your chosen colour in the middle of the nail. The blooming gel makes it spread out beautifully by itself. Let the design settle for a moment, then cure and finish with a top coat.
Tip: work nail by nail for the best result and practise a little with how much colour you apply. Before you know it, you will have it down.
Play with colours and patterns
The fun thing about aura nails is that you can vary endlessly. Go for soft pastels, bright neons or a chic combination of nude and gold. You can also combine the effect with rhinestones, glitter or small designs for extra flair. Let your creativity run free and turn your manicure into a real eyecatcher.
