Nail trends tend to come and go, but there are a couple that have become staples over the past year. Aura nails are the often bold and bright manicures with a blob of color that softly diffuses into another color, replicating the aesthetics of aura photos. On the other end of the spectrum, milky manicures, popularized by Hailey Bieber, are the poster child for the clean girl aesthetic with their pared-back appearance and muted colors.
Recently, the two trends have begun to team up to make a mega trend. We’ve been seeing milky aura nails that combine the two looks for a chic, unique manicure that’s super on trend. If you don’t know what to try the next time you’re at the salon, go with this look for a one-of-a-kind manicure.
