Virtual Nail Polish Try-On — Preview Colors on Your Hand

Upload a sharp hand photo, then paint the selection over each nail plate you want to change. Pick a color, finish, and design, and generate the virtual manicure. The selected nail pixels may be regenerated while the prepared source pixels outside the painted selection are restored after the edit.

Yes. The design choices include solid color, classic and micro French tips, reverse French, ombré, aura, marble, tortoiseshell, tiny florals, geometric accents, chrome tips, glazed pearl, negative space, and a restrained mix-and-match direction.

No. Camera white balance, room lighting, skin reflections, display calibration, coat count, base color, and the real formula all change perceived shade and finish. Use the result to compare visual directions, then verify the physical polish on a swatch or nail before buying or applying it.

It lets you compare several color families on the same hand photo, but it does not diagnose skin undertone or rank shades as flattering. Treat each result as a visual moodboard, account for the photo's lighting and your screen, and confirm the real formula with a swatch or salon sample.

Use even light and sharp focus, keep the cuticles and complete nail plates visible, separate the fingers, and let the nails occupy a useful part of the frame. Bare nails or light existing polish are easiest to preview. Avoid motion blur, harsh glare, crossed fingers, and tiny distant nails.

Zoom in and paint only inside each nail plate. Use a smaller brush near the sidewalls and cuticle, erase any overspill, and cover the full nail so no old color remains. After generation, inspect every boundary and refine the painted selection if an edge looks wrong.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Yes — the default look is deliberately obvious so you can see what the tool does, and most photos read better well below it. If the page has a strength or intensity slider, bring it down until the effect looks like a decision rather than a filter; if it has only style choices or an instruction box, pick a milder style or ask for a subtler look and generate again. Compare against your original before you download.

Nail Polish Try-On supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Published processing allowances and file limits still apply.

No — Nail Polish Try-On runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Yes. The page works in a phone browser, and the upload offers Take a photo, which opens the camera. Use steady light, then paint each nail with your finger and zoom in for the edges. The steps are the same on a computer.

One run applies a single color, finish and design to the nails you paint. For an accent on one finger, describe it in Custom detail. For separate colors, save the result, upload it again and paint only the nails that should change.

The preview recolors the nails in your photo and is set to keep their length and shape. It has no option for extensions, almond or coffin shapes or press-on nails, so use it to compare colors, finishes and designs on your own nails.

A finish is the surface of the polish, such as cream, high gloss, matte, sheer, jelly, metallic, chrome, pearl, glitter, holographic or cat eye. A design is the pattern, such as solid color, French tips, ombré, aura, marble, florals, geometric accents or negative space.

When the preview appears, use the download option on the result page, which saves a PNG named after your photo with nail-polish-preview at the end. Compare it with the original first, and choose Edit again to try another color on the same photo.

It needs a hand photo and at least one painted nail, and it waits while your painted area is still being saved. Paint over a nail plate, give the selection a moment to finish, and the button becomes active. Clear and repaint if you added a stray mark.
