Artificial intelligence technology from [Perfect Corp.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-corp) is now being applied to online try-on experiences so that people can see what their nails will look like with different colors during an [augmented reality virtual manicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-designer-ai). Thanks to advanced hand mapping, the technology "revolutionizes the nail polish and nail art shopping journey" by showing live previews of nail polish products in real-time.

The AI-powered AR Virtual Try-On for Nails solution can be integrated online, in-store and within apps, changing the way consumers shop for a range of nail polish products, including those with unique cream, jelly, sheer and matte finishes.

The interactive try-on experience lets users hold their hand in front of a camera to see the selected shades. This is a solution that supports the future of [contactless try-on experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dressup-ai) via a user's own personal mobile device or a store's smart mirror.
