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?
What you can try on
- Nail art and nail polish colors, live on your own fingers.
- Shapes: almond, coffin, stiletto, square and more.
- Length: make your nails longer, even if your own nails are short.

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 there an app to try on nails?
Yes. Nailterest is a free nail try-on app for iPhone and Android. It shows nail designs on your own fingers through the camera, live, and lets you change the shape and the length before you book.
Can I try on nail polish colors virtually?
Yes. Pick a color or a full design in the app and see it on your own nails in real time. Nailterest can also suggest colors that match your skin undertone.
Can I try on a design from a photo or a screenshot?
Yes. In the app you can try on a design from a photo or a screenshot, not only the designs in the feed.
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.
