- Gel Base Coat
- Black Gel Polish (or dark base)
- Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- Aurora Duochrome Pigment Powder
- Pigment Applicator/Sponge
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Prepare nails (file, buff, cuticle care) and apply a gel base coat, then cure under LED/UV lamp.
- Apply one to two coats of black (or suitable dark color) gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly.
- Apply a thin, even layer of non-wipe gel top coat, then *partially* cure for about 10-15 seconds (should still be tacky).
- Using a pigment applicator, gently rub the Aurora pigment powder onto the tacky surface, blending softly for a seamless, photo-real color shift.
- Brush off any excess pigment with a soft brush and seal the design with a final layer of non-wipe gel top coat, ensuring to cap the free edge, then fully cure.
Expert Tip
The secret to achieving a truly photo-real aurora effect lies in the quality of your duochrome pigment and applying it over a perfectly cured, slightly tacky non-wipe top coat. Experiment with light, gentle rubbing motions for the most seamless color transition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Photo-Real Aurora Nails last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel-based design typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks without chipping or dulling.
Can I get this design on shorter nails?
While medium to long nails best showcase the expansive, shifting effect, we can adapt the Aurora design to shorter nails for a more concentrated burst of color.
What makes this design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the seamless, high-definition blend of colors and the intense, multi-dimensional shimmer that closely mimics the actual visual experience of the Aurora Borealis.
Are there different color combinations for the Aurora effect?
Absolutely! Aurora pigments come in a variety of color shifts, allowing us to create different 'aurora' vibes, from warm sunset tones to cool arctic hues.
Is this a difficult design to remove at home?
As a gel-based design utilizing specialized pigments, professional soak-off removal is recommended to protect your natural nail integrity and ensure complete, safe removal.
Will this design damage my natural nails?
When applied and removed by a professional nail artist using quality products, this design will not damage your natural nails. Proper aftercare is also key.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them healthy.
- ✓Steer clear of aggressive nail filing or picking at the gel.
- ✓Protect your nails from prolonged exposure to hot water, which can weaken the gel bond.
- ✓Use a high-quality hand cream to keep skin soft around your beautiful Aurora Nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the top layer of the gel to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them directly onto each nail, and wrap securely with foil.
- 3.After 10-15 minutes, gently push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle pusher. Repeat soaking if necessary.
