20 Ways To Try Summer 2022’s Aura Nails Trend

One scroll on Instagram and all we’re seeing is aura nails.

If you (shockingly) haven’t seen this trend then you need to a) up your scroll game and b) keep reading. One quick google search tells us that the word aura means a coloured energy field around a body (or object), and that’s exactly the vibe of these nails. Think glowing neon details and ombre circular patterns and you’re onto a winner.

With so many ways to take on this trend, how could you ever possibly decide on one? Luckily, we’re here to make the decision a little easier, with 20 ways to try the aura nails trend this summer. You’re welcome.
