- First, create medium-length almond-shaped nails. One can also go for a square shape to increase area of application.
- Begin by coating the nails with black nail polish for the base. Make sure to not dry off the gel layer instantly and let the sticky layer stay wet on top.
- Add cherry red for a pop of colour to the centre of the nails while they’re not fully dry creating the perfect airbrush effect.
- Blend the red centre and black border
- Seal the grunge-black aura manicure with two layers of top coat to get a shiny finish
Zola also added a silver star decal to Sydney’s pinky fingers to amp up the rock and roll vibes. Make sure there is no rush in the process as the black aura manicure require patience and precision, but the end result is beautiful.
