Six shades. One hand.
It's not a colour picker.
Most apps paint a swatch onto a stock hand. This one starts from your photo, picks a shade for your skin tone, then lets you change everything about it.
Start with your own hand.
Upload a photo from your library or take one in the app. No AR, no holding your phone at arm's length — a still photo is all it needs. Your last ten hand photos stay on your device.
Hundreds of designer looks.
Browse designs from real nail artists in Explore, tap through to the artist, and put any of it on your own hand — one tap to wear any of them.
Three steps. No appointment.
Upload a photo of your hand
From your camera roll, or snap one right in the app. That's your canvas.
Apply any color or design
Pick from more than 200 real polish shades, or upload a design you spotted somewhere — Cutie Nails recreates it on your hand.
Save it, and bring it to your salon
Every look you try saves to Favorites. Show your nail tech exactly what you want — no guessing, no describing.
Every skin tone.
Every time.
A shade that sings on one hand can disappear on another. Cutie Nails matches to the hand in the photo — yours — which is the only way a colour recommendation means anything at all.
One photo.
Five try-ons.
The same hand, the same light, the same photo — five times over. That is the whole idea: change the shade, not the picture.

Your hands stay yours.
Inspiration photos are never stored.

Your styles. Your page. Your website.
Upload the sets you do and add your website or booking link — you get your own page in the app. Anyone who finds you can try your work on a photo of their own hand before they ever call to book.
