HOW TO / Super Easy Aura Nails without an Airbrush Machine or complicated tools 🌟| NAIL 101

[@lillian.catherine]

I always avoided trying this because I thought it would be too difficult, but this tutorial proved otherwise! Thank you!

[@jill8980]

Airburshing anything but water based paint without proper ventilation/PPE is super hazardous. I love this alternative

[@DessinDesignNails]

Glad to hear that! 'gel' airbrushing is so popular these days, it just screams hazard when I see it done with no protection 🫠

[@Jasmine.Arredondo]

Do water based paints still cause hazard? I’ve tried so many techniques but don’t look as flawless as the airbrush does. Any suggestions?

[@WobblesandBean]

​@@DessinDesignNails It's just about the worst thing you can aerosolize. It's an objectively bad idea to airbrush any kind of polish, but especially gel polish. Thank you for this, I've never been able to get the sponge technique to work but I'm gonna try your method!

[@doonkoph5257]

Wow, I’m shocked you’re channel isn’t more popular. Your video thumbnails are all beautifully designed (and so are your nails of course 😊). I never would’ve thought to use a makeup sponge 😮. Thank you kindly for the tutorial!!!

[@DessinDesignNails]

❤️❤️❤️ tysm 😭 Hope you found this tutorial helpful and try it out! 🤩

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

If I has to guess why, because the words are too small, at the bottom of the screen and there is no voice over. If you're trying to do your nails along with the video you'll have to keep rewinding to catch the words.

[@hanananah]

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how to do this look with regular polish for when I go see the Barbie movie this weekend and this is the way!

[@DessinDesignNails]

so glad I could help!! 😊

[@kitashinsukesricebag]

i really really wanted to try this look but was discouraged by all the other videos i saw! but then i watched yours and i managed to somehow pull it off THANK YOU

[@DessinDesignNails]

ah glad to hear that!! 🥰

[@mehnazr5895]

i love how peaceful this tutorial is. thank you

[@DessinDesignNails]

[@weesnaw9310]

I just discovered your channel today, your tutorials are so relaxing and helpful! Definitely looking forward to your next videos :)

[@DessinDesignNails]

tysm! I have lots of stuff planned so look forward to it 🥰

[@ayrenbethancourt9379]

​@@DessinDesignNailsI would love to be able use those "press on" sticky nails. Where are the double side stickers sold, please? I can't find them.

[@DessinDesignNails]

@@ayrenbethancourt9379 not sure where you're located but you can find them from nail stores/amazon/aliexpress. Search for nail adhesive tabs 😊

[@ayrenbethancourt9379]

@@DessinDesignNails Australia. I'll look for them. Thank you very much.

[@ayrenbethancourt9379]

@@DessinDesignNails and love your channel, by the way. 🥰😍❤

[@alliegurlea5417]

I used a mini beauty blender and they turned out similar! Thanks!

[@TracyL-66]

This is when the PUF told comes in really handy, very good idea an pretty nails.

[@ht7740]

The nails looked so prettyyyy 😍

[@jewliaraemua6178]

Thank you! I was trying to figure this out on my own, but couldn’t execute it. Your tutorial is so helpful! shout out to you, Much love xoxo

great music choice :)

THANK U SO MUCH

[@valeria-qi5wv]

wow your videos are so amazing! thank you this was so helpful 😭

[@DessinDesignNails]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@lin_linlopez9683]

Amazing Finally found the best tutorial to do those ❤

[@tracy361361]

Eyeshadow and a brush works good too

[@DessinDesignNails]

oooh thats a great idea I hadn't thought of that!

[@BlueBerry-in2br]

Really love your tutorials! Keep going like this ❤️

[@Snail_Nailz]

Wonder if a nail sponge brush (made for gradient nails & common on AE or amazon) would work or if they’re too absorbent?

[@DessinDesignNails]

oh 100%!! That's exactly what I'm trying to mimic here! I use makeup sponges here since its more easily accessible and like $1-2 for a whole bunch in comparison. If you have those that would probably work even better since they're already nicely rounded!

[@Snail_Nailz]

@@DessinDesignNails awesome I’m stoked on this look!

[@tamarasnailology8245]

They work perfectly! I did a video on my channel using these for aura last fall. But her trick using cheap makeup sponges works too. I've done both!

[@wiktorias5017]

This tutorial is so good!!! I’ll need to try it

[@DessinDesignNails]

🥰🥰

[@cynniecao]

love this! thank you for sharing

[@DessinDesignNails]

thanks for watching 🥰

[@camigamarra5789]

This was very useful💜

[@tamashimikairi3070]

what products did you use for the green nail at the end? Love the colours

[@howdyfellas920]

Seems like your channel is way underrated

[@danettebrown8770]

Nice and it looks super easy Thx😊

[@Rickerov]

I wish this had a voice over so I could watch what’s happening instead of reading then rewinding because I have to zoom in on the lightly colored and small captions 😭. Thank you for making this tutorial though.

[@DessinDesignNails]

I am working on getting cc on all my videos - they should be up on this one now 💕

[@mommaaf9323]

hi!! do you flash cure inbetween all the steps or just after the inital blending out of the aura? thank you!!

[@styllinm]

Great tutorial very informative🎉

[@vitoriamarques643]

tysm!🎀🌸💗

[@elizam2132]

Are you curing in between each layer?

[@DessinDesignNails]

yes! 🥰 just quick flash cures tho since its so thin!

[@amyfernandez846]

How do you avoid the bubbles in the nail from the sponge?

[@martinagebhart4448]

this is so helpful thank you 🫶🏻

[@DessinDesignNails]

Happy to help! 😚

[@camilanascimentostudio]

Thank yoooouuuu ❤❤

[@amberlilly1410]

Could you try this with the cat eye magnet effect

[@DessinDesignNails]

new cat eye vid coming soon!! 👀

[@thankgoddickson9599]

Great!! So any regular foam can do this?

[@DessinDesignNails]

yes! Any dense foam seems to work 😊

[@elle9576]

Hi, can I use regular polish or do I need special gel?

[@bubbles1041]

pretty sure you can use regular polish

[@DessinDesignNails]

yes! I would just try to work as fast since it'll dry!

[@nataliahernandez8258]

I just wanna know if you can clean the sponge or you just throw it out every use

[@DessinDesignNails]

I personally throw it out ! it can catch lint and dust if you leave it to use for next time 😊

[@ly9510]

Hi!! What is that little stand you use to prop the nail??

[@DessinDesignNails]

its a nail stand! You can find them at nail shops or online 😊 You can also use like those plastic sticky hooks.

[@ly9510]

@@DessinDesignNails Thank you!!! I recently found your channel and I've been really excited to try out your tutorials :) Keep going!! You're an inspo for many

[@abikyy]

hey, whatd u use to edit ur thumbnail? is it canva? ik its a random question lol

[@DessinDesignNails]

I edit all my thumbnails using photoshop and illustrator 🥰

[@cakesss6330]

Do I have to use a potted gel or can I use the gel from the bottle?

[@DessinDesignNails]

you can use any gel you'd like!

[@mushiebloomowu5182]

Would this work with a cotton ball if you don't have any sponges? 😭

[@buta6608]

This is late, but for any nail art you really want to acid using cotton balls at all because they leave behind A LOT of fuzz!

[@paigeasaurr]

What kind of tweezers are those. That would make my life so much easier

[@DessinDesignNails]

I think they're called like reverse action tweezers!

[@paigeasaurr]

@@DessinDesignNails thank you so much I can't wait to try these!

[@osashafelipe-sirnic663]

Would a mini beauty blender work ?

[@DessinDesignNails]

yes!! that would be perfect!

[@chelseamc2373]

So u don’t cure it before putting in the top coat?

[@DessinDesignNails]

Hi! I do cure in between layers of sponging 🙂

[@lilianaerendirapascacio1770]

thnx babe :*

[@pororoca08]

does anyone know if this works with nail polish instead of nail gel?

[@DessinDesignNails]

yes! you just need to work fast so your polish doesn't start drying and get bumpy and tacky 😊

[@littlelottieable]

the grey and white tiny subtitles are very hard to see om this background

[@littlelottieable]

very useful vid otherwise, will this work with non gel polish?

[@luxbunny8678]

What’s a layer of overlay??

[@DessinDesignNails]

Overlay is usually a layer of product placed over the natural nail that doesn't extend it in any way. I use a a runny builder gel thats thicker than most top coats to smooth out the surface if its really bumpy 🙂
