Get digital in-salon with the latest range of nail art apps.
Nail art is becoming an increasingly digital exercise, with a range of apps set to have nails looking better than ever. Whether choosing a colour, creating a design or making sure your services are always on trend, creating a manicure worth noticing has never been so easy.
The first foray into digital nail art comes courtesy of NailSnaps, which allows you to upload a photo to Instagram which is then sent back to you as nail stickers, filter and all. The app allows you to either have the images cut across the five fingers to make one continuous image or have it repeated five times. The app hasn’t yet been released but once it gets going the possibilities are endless. Your clients may want to bring in a personal image, but make sure you have some stock photos on file for the next time you’re asked for the landscape special.
These apps follow an already established market of digital content targeted to nail design. Nail Art showcases an array of designs, categorised by theme, colour, season or nail type, at varying degrees of difficulty. Nail Designs provides video tutorials for its broad catalogue of designs while Beauty Salon allows you to take the digital paintbrush to design your own look. These apps are an easy way to create your salon speciality and have fun with designs before trying them on the customer.
With design, colour and application techniques now at your fingertips, find out all the digital world has to offer your salon staff and clients in the filed frontier of nail art apps.
