How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload any photo for color work. Images with varied tones give the AI more to work with for nail color adjustments. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Change the nail color to a deep burgundy.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Tap a marker on the specific object whose color you want to change.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic Red Change nail color to a classic red with a high-gloss gel finish
    Try This →
    Nude Pink Change nails to a sheer nude pink polish
    Try This →
    Matte Black Change nail color to matte black polish
    Try This →
    French Tips Change nails to a classic French manicure with white tips and natural pink base
    Try This →
    2 more prompts
    Burgundy Change nail color to deep burgundy with a creamy finish
    Try This →
    Chrome Silver Change nails to a reflective chrome silver mirror finish
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Compare the color adjustment against the original using the slider. Verify that tones look natural, skin colors weren't distorted, and the overall mood matches what you described.

  4. Refine if needed

    If certain areas got the wrong color treatment — like skin turning orange or shadows going muddy — tap markers on those spots and describe the correction you need.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Interior Design & Renovation

Visualize nail color changes before painting, reupholstering, or purchasing — saving time and money on design decisions.

Common Scenarios

  • Testing how a nail looks in navy, sage, or terracotta before committing
  • Showing clients multiple nail color options using the same room photo
  • Matching nail color to existing decor in a renovation plan

Best Practices

  • Upload a photo with even lighting so the AI can accurately map the color boundary
  • Tap directly on the nail to mark it, then specify the exact color you want
  • Try describing the finish too — 'matte charcoal' vs. 'glossy charcoal' gives different results
📷

Fashion & Style Preview

Try different nail colors digitally before purchasing or coordinating an outfit.

Common Scenarios

  • Previewing a nail in multiple colors before buying online
  • Coordinating nail color with the rest of an outfit for an event
  • Creating mood boards that show nail color variations for a stylist or client

Best Practices

  • Mark the nail precisely — if nearby items share a similar color, the AI may change them too
  • Specify the fabric look: 'change to burgundy silk' captures both color and material
  • Process the same photo with 3-4 colors to build a comparison grid
📷

Product & Marketing Visuals

Generate nail color variants from a single product photo — perfect for catalogs, ads, and e-commerce listings.

Common Scenarios

  • Creating all color variants of a nail from one studio shot
  • Matching nail to brand colors for marketing campaigns
  • Showing seasonal nail color options without reshooting

Best Practices

  • Start with a neutral, well-lit product photo on a plain background for cleanest results
  • Use exact color names or hex codes when precision matters — 'Pantone Classic Blue' or '#0F4C81'
  • After changing nail color, verify shadows and highlights still look natural

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Change the nail color to a deep burgundy, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Color bled onto adjacent objects

Why: The AI couldn't precisely separate the target object from its neighbors.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific object and regenerate: 'only change the color of this object'
Try This →

Tip: Tap a marker on the specific object whose color you want to change for precise results.

New color looks flat without the original texture

Why: The AI replaced the color but lost the surface detail like wood grain, fabric weave, or brushstrokes.

Try: Add 'preserve the original surface texture, reflections, and material properties' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Mention the material: 'keep the wood grain visible' or 'preserve the matte finish.'

Metallic or glossy finish not preserved

Why: The AI treated the surface as matte when recoloring, losing the shine and reflections.

Try: Specify 'keep the metallic/glossy finish with natural reflections and highlights'
Try This →

Tip: Include surface type in your prompt: 'glossy', 'metallic', 'satin', or 'matte' for accurate rendering.
