About
Nail Swap AI is an innovative AI nail art generator and virtual try-on tool designed to take the guesswork out of choosing your next manicure. Simply upload a photo of your hand, select or upload a nail design, and the AI instantly blends the style onto your actual hand so you can see a realistic preview before stepping foot in a salon. The tool supports a wide range of nail styles including french tips, matte nudes, glitter accents, seasonal trends, and elaborate nail art. You can experiment with different shapes such as almond, stiletto, oval, and square, and customize length, finish (matte vs. glossy), and color using custom text prompts. Beyond planning, Nail Swap AI also doubles as a nail photo editor — if your nails look chipped or grown out in an otherwise perfect photo, the AI retouches them naturally so your hands always look polished. It's ideal for special occasions like engagements, weddings, and graduations, where choosing the right nail look matters. You can save favorites, compare styles side by side, and share previews with friends for a second opinion. Pricing is credit-based with no subscription required — 10 credits cost $9.99 (just $0.99 per design), and credits never expire. This makes it accessible and flexible for casual users and nail enthusiasts alike.
