Try Nail Designs on Your Own Hand with AI: Chrome, Cat-Eye, French and Holiday Nail Ideas

Your camera roll is full of nail inspo, but a design that looks perfect on a hand model can look completely different on yours: different nail beds, different finger length, different skin tone. Booking a full set and hoping for the best is an expensive way to find out.

AI Nail Art Try-On on ImageGPT paints the design onto a photo of your own hand. It runs on Nano Banana 2 and changes only the nails — your fingers, skin, rings, bracelets, sleeves and background stay exactly as they are. And if you don't know what you want yet, there's a mode that makes nail idea boards without any photo.

Example: a French manicure on a real hand

We uploaded a photo of a hand with pink almond nails on black fabric, chose French and asked for two variants. The old polish was replaced with a sheer pink base and crisp white tips. The two variants differ slightly, so you can compare shades in a single run.

What you can pick

• Design: French, Nude, Solid color, Chrome, Ombre, Cat eye, Glitter, Marble, Flowers, Minimalist, plus New Year, Autumn, Spring and Summer themes. Or My own — describe it in words.
• Main color: milky, beige, pink, red, burgundy, black, white, lavender, blue, emerald or gold — or let the design decide.
• Shape: almond, oval, square, squoval, round, coffin or stiletto, or keep yours.
• Length: short, medium or long, or keep yours.
• Wishes in up to 200 characters: an accent nail, a matte finish, a tiny motif.
• Up to four variants per run; each one varies the shade or the accent nails.

Flowers

Cat-eye nails — the magnetic polish with a band of velvety shimmer — and mirror chrome are two designs that are hard to imagine from a flat photo, because the effect depends on light. The try-on draws the reflections to match the light in your photo, which gives you a much better idea of how they'll look on you.

Nail ideas without a photo

Switch to Design ideas and skip the hand photo. Each picture is a 2×2 moodboard of four designs on one theme, shown on hands with a range of skin tones. Pick a design as the theme and, if you like, a color, shape and length. Order four pictures and you get up to 16 different designs to screenshot for your nail tech.

Cat eye

New Year

With the holidays coming, the New Year theme is a quick way to plan party nails: sparkles, tiny snowflakes and gold or silver accents on one or two nails.

What hand photo works best

• All nails fully visible, not covered by other fingers or objects.
• Soft daylight, no harsh flash.
• Existing polish is fine — it gets replaced.
