Step By Step Breakdown:

1. Prep the nails and file them into long stiletto points with slim, evenly tapered sidewalls.
2. Apply a sheer neutral base to create a smooth foundation for the blended colors.
3. Using an airbrush or ombre sponge, apply cherry red and hot pink through the central areas of selected nails.
4. Blend mint green, baby blue, yellow, and orange into different sections, allowing each nail to feature its own color combination.
5. Keep the transitions extremely soft and diffused so there are no harsh boundaries between the colors.
6. Concentrate brighter red and pink tones through selected centers and tips to recreate the glowing aura effect.
7. Alternate blue, green, orange, and yellow around the outer portions and pointed ends to make every nail slightly different.
8. Place tiny metallic gold beads along selected sides, tips, and gradient transitions.
9. Add a few small gold jewelry-style accents throughout the set, keeping the embellishments minimal so the rainbow gradients remain the focus.
10. Finish with a high-gloss top coat to intensify the blended colors and create the smooth glass-like appearance shown in the photo.
