Frequently Asked Questions

Can I achieve this design with regular nail polish?

While possible, gel polish is recommended for the best gradient and longevity. Regular polish may require more layers and a quicker blending technique.

What's the best way to blend the colors?

Use a small, soft blending brush or sponge. Gently dab the colors together, working in small sections.

How can I make the shimmer stand out more?

Apply the shimmer polish over a dark base color or use a holographic top coat for a more intense effect.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and care, gel polish aurora nails can last for 2-3 weeks without chipping.

Is it okay to use a nail stamper for this?

While you can experiment with nail stamping, this particular design relies heavily on color blending, making it unsuitable for stamping.

Can I use magnetic polish for this design?

Yes! Magnetic polishes can enhance the 3D aurora effect, but you need to be skilled in using a magnet to achieve the proper visual.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize hands and nails regularly.
  • Avoid picking or peeling the gel polish.
  • Use a gentle nail cleanser to remove any dirt or debris.

Safe Removal
