How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop a photo of your hand into EditThisPic. For best results, use well-lit photos showing all five fingernails clearly. Works with bare nails or existing polish. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple nail art on clear photos: 20-30 seconds. Complex multi-finger designs with gradients: may need 1-2 refinements for perfect nail coverage.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'add cherry blossom nail art with pink flowers and green leaves on white base' or 'create geometric navy blue and gold nail design on all nails.' Be specific about colors, patterns, and style (floral, geometric, ombre, French tip, etc.). No marking needed—the AI detects your nails and applies the design.

    Tip: Specify which fingers get special designs: 'floral design on ring fingers, solid pink on other nails' or 'accent nail with glitter on both ring fingers.' The more detail, the better the result.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Floral nail art add delicate floral nail art with small pink cherry blossoms and green leaves on white base, different flower placement on each nail
    French tip manicure create classic French tip nail design with white tips and natural pink base on all nails
    Ombre gradient nails generate ombre nail design fading from deep purple at the base to light lavender at the tips on all nails
    Geometric pattern nails add geometric nail art with navy blue triangles and gold lines creating modern abstract pattern on white base
    3 more prompts
    Glitter accent nails create rose gold glitter nail design on ring fingers as accent nails, solid nude pink polish on other fingers
    Holiday themed nails generate Christmas nail art with red and green candy cane stripes, snowflakes, and tiny gold stars on white base
    Marble effect nails add marble nail art design with gray and white swirls creating natural stone texture with thin gold veins
  3. Generate and review

    Click Generate and the AI creates your nail art design on all visible nails. Zoom in to check pattern details and color accuracy. Verify the design covers each nail properly without extending onto skin.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my nails before describing the nail art?

No! Just describe what you want: 'add floral nail art to my nails' or 'create French tip design.' The AI automatically detects your fingernails and applies the design.

How do I generate nail art designs on my photos for free?

Upload a photo of your hand showing your nails to EditThisPic and type 'add [design description] nail art.' The AI generates and applies the nail design in 20-30 seconds. Free to use, no account needed. Perfect for trying designs before booking a manicure.

Can I try the design on my actual nails or does it only work on stock photos?

It works on photos of YOUR actual hands! Take a photo of your hand with nails visible (bare nails or existing polish), upload it, and describe the design you want. The AI applies the nail art to your real hand photo so you can see exactly how it would look on you.

What types of nail art designs can the AI create?

The AI can generate virtually any nail design: French tips, ombre gradients, floral patterns, geometric shapes, glitter accents, marble effects, holiday themes, animal prints, abstract art, and more. Be specific in your description about colors, patterns, and which nails get accent designs.

Will the nail art look realistic or obviously fake?

When you specify details like 'glossy finish' or 'natural shine,' the AI creates realistic-looking nail art that follows your nail shape and curvature. The designs are realistic enough to show your nail technician as reference photos. For best results, use well-lit photos showing nails clearly.
