The aura manicure features a soft, glowing radial gradient where a vibrant color bursts outward from the center of the nail, fading into a neutral background. Start with a smooth, opaque nude or pale pastel base coat across all nails. Once dry, place a drop of vibrant neon or rich jewel-toned polish onto a flat cosmetic sponge. Lightly dab the center of the nail plate with the sponge, building up color saturation strictly in the middle while keeping the outer edges neutral. Repeat with a second light layer to intensify the radial halo effect. Clean off any excess polish from the surrounding skin using acetone, then apply a generous layer of plump top coat to smooth out the gradient texture.
