Aura nails how to do summer decorations?

Prepare your plate for aura nails styling. Gloves, disinfection, assessment of the state and condition of the nails - this is your basis for a safely performed service.

Work on the shape of the free edge and work on the cuticles - with a method chosen individually. Hoof pick, wooden stick or cutter? Whatever technique you prefer! 

Mat the plate with a buffer, degrease the plate with a dust-free swab and a cleanser. Remember to apply a primer. (check the category Auxiliary preparations)

Choose any base for the decoration. Cure it in the lamp according to the dedicated time (Indigo bases need 30 seconds in Mulitled lamp).

This is where a product that advanced stylists are very familiar with comes into action: Smoke Powder. It is a highly pigmented powder in which you can combine colours in completely any way you like. Aura Nails is based on colour gradients. This can be achieved using various accessories and tools, such as ombre sponges or brushes for decoration and product application. The choice is usually between colours that flow seamlessly from one to the next, creating a fuzzy aura effect. What else should be taken into account when applying the decoration?

Colour selection: Colours are key in aura nails decoration. Usually, shades are chosen that resemble delicate and harmonious energies. Popular combinations are, for example, different shades of blue, pink, purple or orange.

• Once the gradient has been created, finish the look with a top coat to protect the design and add shine to the nails.
• Extras: Aura nails can be enhanced with additional elements such as glitter, small crystals or holographic effects to add even more magic and subtle sparkle to the nails.
• Personalisation: Aura nails can be customised to suit the client's individual preferences. Each styling can be different, reflecting the person who wears them.
