You've probably seen aura nails on your social media feed at least once in 2023, but it's predicted to be huge in the next year. "The style features a circular ombre effect that emulates a glowing aura," Pattie Yankee, consulting manicurist for Dashing Diva, tells POPSUGAR. Not only is it stunning, but it's easy enough to re-create at home on your own.
To be clear: aura nails don't have to feature your actual accurate aura reading, but rather utilise colours that mimic the colours of the body's chakras and energy fields. (Think swirls of colours that diffuse outward, starting in the middle.)
Rita Pinto, founder of Vanity Projects nail salon, previously told POPSUGAR: "It's very New Age meets Gen Z because the colours of the manicures are way more interpretive and expansive than the usual aura-chart colours. I've also heard them be referred to as 'colour trips' in the salon by clients."
