💅 Materials Used
To create this captivating and ethereal design, you’ll generally need:
- Nail Prep: File, buffer, cleanser.
- Base & Top Coats: Essential for protection and brilliant shine.
- Gel Polishes/Nail Polishes:
- A white or sheer milky white base polish to make the colors pop.
- Iridescent/holographic chrome powder in a multi-chrome or aurora borealis shade.

📝 Instructions: Crafting Your Aurora Nails
The secret to this stunning effect is the specific type of chrome powder and a no-wipe top coat.
- Prep Nails: Clean, file, and apply a base coat. Cure if using gel.
- Apply Base Color: Apply 1-2 thin coats of white or sheer milky white gel polish to all nails. Cure each coat.
- Apply No-Wipe Top Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of no-wipe top coat over the base color. This is crucial as it creates a completely smooth, tacky-free surface for the chrome powder to adhere to. Cure for the specified time, ensuring it’s not over-cured.
- Rub on Chrome Powder: Dip a chrome powder applicator or eyeshadow sponge into the holographic opal powder. Gently but firmly rub and buff the powder onto the entire surface of the nail until a smooth, iridescent, mirror-like finish appears.
- Remove Excess Powder: Use a soft brush to lightly dust away any excess powder from the nail and surrounding skin.
- Seal: Apply another thin layer of no-wipe top coat to seal the chrome design. Cure thoroughly.
- Finish: Apply cuticle oil.
