24 Aura Nail Ideas
Aura nails are the manicure as mood ring — soft color blooming from the center of the nail like a glow. They are dreamy, artistic, and weirdly flattering on everyone.
The technique is an airbrushed blend: color concentrated in the middle, fading to the base at the edges. The color choice is the personality — pick the aura that matches your energy.
