AR Nail Try-On

Preview any nail design on your own hand in real time, straight from your camera, before you book or buy. Available in the free Nailterest app.

Nailterest AR Try-On lets you see how a nail design looks on your own fingers before you commit. Download the free Nailterest app for iPhone or Android, point your camera at your hand, pick a design, and the app renders the color, shape, and pattern onto each nail in real time. It is the fastest way to answer the only question that matters: will this look good on me?

Download the Nailterest app to start trying designs on.

Common questions

Can I try nail designs on virtually before booking?

Yes. The Nailterest app maps any nail design onto your own hand using your camera, so you can preview a color, shape, or pattern on your fingers in real time before booking a salon or buying polish. Download the free app for iPhone or Android to try it.

Do I need to download the app to try nails on?

Yes. AR Try-On runs in the Nailterest iOS and Android apps, which use your phone camera to track your hand and nails. Download the free app from the App Store or Google Play, then try any design on before you book.

Is the nail try-on accurate?

The app tracks your hand and individual nails, then renders the design onto each nail as you move. It follows your nail shape and lighting so the preview reflects how the design would actually sit on your hands, not a flat sticker overlay.
