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.

From inspiration to appointment: a guided tour of Nailterest

Step 1, The feed knows what you came for

Open Nailterest and the first thing you see is a visual masonry of nail designs. Not food, not fashion, not fitness, just nails. The ranking is driven by your Style DNA: the shapes, colors, and finishes you've engaged with before. New users get a 30-second onboarding to pick a starting palette so the feed has signal on day one.

Step 2, Save designs to boards built for the way you shop

Tap any design to save it. You can save to a default board or create themed boards, "wedding," "summer," "work-safe," "spring 2026." Boards are private by default and shareable on demand. The point: you arrive at the appointment knowing exactly which board to show the technician, not scrolling for ideas in the chair.

Step 3, Try it on your own hand

Tap Try On and Nailterest's live AR overlay puts the design on your camera feed. The hand tracking runs entirely on your device (your camera feed is never uploaded for the session. Rotate, flex, walk to the window) the design tracks the angle. If it looks great on the screenshot but weird on your hand, you'll know in 10 seconds and save yourself a $90 redo.

Step 4, Find a salon that can execute it

Once you have a design you love, tap Find Salon. Nailterest ranks salons by shape specialty, price band, location, and rating. Open a salon page, send the AR export directly into the chat, and the salon replies with availability. The booking is confirmed inside the chat, no phone tag.

Why this beats stitching together 3 apps

Most clients today run inspiration in one app, follow artists in another, and book by phone or a third app. The handoffs between apps are where intent leaks out. Nailterest fuses all three: discovery, try-on, and booking in one graph. Same hand, same look, same salon, same chat, no copy-pasting screenshots between apps.

"I used to have three apps open before a manicure. Now I open one, try the design on, and message the salon. It saves me 20 minutes per booking."
