What it does

AR built for the precision of nail art.

Most beauty AR was built for lipstick. NailARVR was built for nails, the hardest surface in cosmetics to track and render correctly.

Live AR on your hand

Real-time camera overlay tracks your nails at sub-50ms latency. Move, rotate, flex, the polish stays pinned to every angle.

On-device ML

Hand segmentation and color matching run entirely on the device using Core ML (iOS) and ML Kit (Android). Your camera feed never leaves your phone for the try-on session.

Hundreds of designs

Curated library of gel coats, French tips, chrome, mirror, glitter, and 3D builds, categorized by shape, finish, and palette.

Shape & finish physics

Simulates matte ambient absorption, glossy environmental reflection, and multi-point glitter scatter, so what you see is what you get on the chair.

Salon Export

Generate a precise 3D blueprint of your look (exact hex codes, shape parameters, finish physics) to hand to your nail tech.

Zero-copy pipeline

Direct CVPixelBuffer handoffs from camera → ML → Metal compositor. No memory copies, no GC pressure, sustained 60fps.

4 steps

From camera to chair, with zero translation loss.

No screenshots, no guesswork, just the polish, the shape, and the spec.

01

Open the camera

Launch NailARVR and point your phone at your hand. The on-device model maps your nail beds in milliseconds.

02

Pick a design

Browse the digital polish library. Filter by shape, finish, palette, or occasion.

03

Verify on every angle

Rotate, flex, walk to a window. The overlay tracks your hand in real time, exactly how the polish will read in daylight.

04

Export to your salon

Save the look as a 3D spec (hex codes + shape + finish) and send it to your nail tech. No screenshot translation.

Under the hood

Native iOS, native Android, on-device AI.

No web wrappers, no cloud round-trips. Every frame is processed on your phone.
