- UV/LED Nail Lamp
- Gel Base & No-Wipe Top Coat
- Dark Blue/Purple/Green Gel Polishes
- Iridescent/Chameleon Pigment Powders
- Silicone Applicator Brush/Sponge
- Fine Detail Blending Brush
- **Nail Prep & Base Application**: Begin with meticulous nail preparation. Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure. Then, apply a dark, opaque gel color (e.g., deep indigo or black) as your base for maximum intensity and cure thoroughly.
- **Gradient Creation**: Apply small dots or thin stripes of different aurora-inspired gel colors (e.g., teal, purple, green) onto the nail. Using a clean blending brush, gently diffuse and merge these colors, creating a seamless, cloud-like gradient effect. Cure each layer of color blending.
- **Pigment Layer for Photo-Realism**: Apply a thin, even layer of no-wipe gel top coat. Cure it *just enough* so it's tacky to the touch but not fully hardened. Gently rub your iridescent or chameleon pigment powder onto this tacky surface using an applicator, focusing on the desired 'shimmer shift' areas to achieve the stunning photo-real glow. Cure briefly.
- **Encapsulate & Finish**: Seal in the mesmerizing design by applying a second, slightly thicker layer of a clear builder gel or a strong, glossy top coat to add depth and protect the pigment. Ensure even application and thoroughly 'cap' the free edge of the nail. Cure completely under the UV/LED lamp.
- **Final Touches**: Cleanse any tacky residue with a gel cleanser and finish by applying nourishing cuticle oil. Your stunning Aurora.Design: Stunning Photo-real Salon Aurora Nails are now ready to captivate!
Expert Tip
Achieving that 'photo-real' depth is all about the layers! Don't rush the pigment application over a *slightly* cured no-wipe top coat for maximum iridescent effect, and seal it flawlessly with a robust top coat for ultimate shine and longevity.

Is this design more prone to chipping due to the layering?
Our professional salon application techniques ensure strong adhesion and durability for all layers. When proper aftercare is followed, chipping is rare, ensuring your beautiful design lasts.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid picking or prying at your nails, as this can chip the design, damage your natural nail, and compromise the photo-real finish.
- ✓Do not use your nails as tools; treat them as delicate works of art to preserve their integrity.
- ✓Schedule your professional gel fills or removals every 3-4 weeks to maintain nail health and the pristine appearance of your Aurora nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file down the top glossy layer of gel and pigment with a fine-grit file, being careful not to reach your natural nail plate.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes, allowing the gel to soften thoroughly.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick, never forcing or scraping aggressively.
