Frequently Asked Questions
Can I achieve this design with regular nail polish?
While possible, it's harder to achieve the seamless gradient and photo-real finish with regular polish. Gel polish allows for more blending time and easier pigment application.
What if I don't have iridescent chrome powder?
You can use iridescent flakes or a shimmering top coat as an alternative, but the effect may be less intense.
How can I make the design last longer?
Proper nail preparation, using high-quality products, and following the maintenance tips will help extend the life of your Aurora nails.
Can I add nail art on top of the aurora base?
Yes, you can add simple nail art like stars or geometric shapes using a fine-tipped brush and gel polish for a customized design.
Is airbrushing necessary for this design?
No, airbrushing is optional but it helps to achieve a very smooth gradient. You can get a similar effect with careful blending using nail art brushes and sponges.
What nail shape is best for this design?
Almond or oval shapes tend to complement the flowing, ethereal nature of the Aurora design, but you can adapt it to your preferred nail shape.
