Step by step: sage green aura nails

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
  3. Apply a sheer nude or milky base.
  4. Dab a small spot of sage green 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.

Sage green 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.

What is the difference between oval and almond nails?

Does sage green nail polish suit my skin tone?

Olive and forest greens suit warm and olive undertones especially well; sage and mint soften cooler skin.
