Nailterest is the social network built for nail art. You can discover thousands of nail designs in a visual masonry feed, try them on your own hand with live AR, follow your favorite nail artists, and book verified salons near you. It is available on iOS, Android, and the web in 23 languages.

How does Nailterest's AR Try-On work?

Nailterest uses on-device hand tracking (MediaPipe + native ARKit / ARCore) to detect your hand and overlay nail designs in real time, with sub-50ms latency. No image is sent to the cloud during the try-on session — the camera feed stays on your device.

How do nail salons get listed on Nailterest?

Salon owners can claim or create a listing for free, manage services and pricing, receive direct messages from clients, and run optional promoted posts to reach new bookings. To get listed, email dincer@edgistlabs.com or visit edgistlabs.com/apps/nailterest/for-salons.

Is Nailterest free to use?

Yes. Nailterest is free to download and use. Optional paid plans include Verified ($0.99/mo) for a verified badge and early access, and Pro ($19.99/mo) for creators and salon owners who want analytics, promoted posts, and CRM tools.

What languages and countries does Nailterest support?

Nailterest is live in 23 languages — including English, Turkish, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, and more. Launch markets are Turkey and Portugal, with Spain, Brazil, and English-speaking markets following.

Live AR Try-On

See it on your hand before you book.

Tap any design and Nailterest's on-device AR overlays it on your live camera at sub-50ms. Rotate, flex, walk to the window — the design tracks every angle. Then export the exact 3D spec straight to your salon, no screenshot translation required.

Hand tracking runs entirely on-device — your camera feed never leaves your phone.
Sub-50ms latency keeps the design pinned even as you move.
Salon Export turns the look into hex codes + shape parameters your tech can execute.
