Step by step: sunset orange 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 in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply a sheer nude or milky base.
  4. Dab a small spot of sunset orange 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. Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

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

Sunset orange 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 almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does sunset orange nail polish suit my skin tone?

Burnt orange and copper shine on warm and deep skin; peach and coral lift fair and neutral skin.
