How to get burgundy aura short square nails at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File straight across the top, then soften the two corners with one light stroke so they don’t snag.
  3. Apply a sheer nude or milky base.
  4. Dab a small spot of burgundy in the center of the nail with a sponge or airbrush.
  5. Blend the edges outward so the color glows from the middle.
  6. Seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

Pro tip: A small dotting of color, blended with an eyeshadow sponge, gets close to an airbrush look.

Burgundy aura nails: FAQ

What are aura nails?

Nails with a soft glow of color in the center that fades out toward the edges, like a blurred halo.

Are square nails good for short nails?

Yes — square is the strongest shape for short nails. Softly rounded corners (squoval) keep it from catching on fabric.

Does burgundy nail polish suit my skin tone?

Blue-based reds and burgundies flatter cool and neutral undertones; on warm or deep skin, choose shades with a brick or brown hint.
