What the AI nail generator does

  • Paints on a real hand

    The design is drawn onto the nails in a photo, so you see it on skin and in real light, not as a flat sketch.

  • Follows your shape and length

    Choose the nail shape and length, from short square nails to long stiletto nails. The AI shapes the nails to match.

  • Starts from words or a picture

    Describe a look in your own words, pick a design from the library, or try on a design you saved.

Prompt tips for better nail designs

  1. Start with the base: the color and the finish, for example "sheer nude, glossy" or "matte black".

  2. Then add the art and where it goes: "white French tips", "gold stars near the tips", "one accent nail with pearls".

  3. Be specific about colors. "Dusty rose" works better than "pink".

  4. Keep it to two or three ideas. A long list of details makes a busy design.

  5. When you try again, change one thing at a time, so you can see what made the difference.
