Try the nail set before the appointment.
Upload the set you saved and get it described in the terms a nail tech works in — shape, length, finish and shade — so you are not describing it from memory in the chair.
Try a nail setHow it works
Upload the set
The reference you saved. We read the shape, length, finish and colour.
Add a photo of your hand
Optional, but it grounds the shape and length advice in your actual nail beds.
Get a nail-tech card
A clear, specific reference you can show at your appointment.
A reference your nail tech can read
- Shape and length, described the way a technician would specify it.
- The finish — gloss, matte, chrome or otherwise — and what it changes about the look.
- Shade direction, with a note when the reference photo's colour may be off.
- How the set will wear, and roughly how long before it needs attention.
Uptone adapts a look to your features. It never rates how you look, never calls a feature a flaw, and every classification it suggests stays editable by you.
Read what Uptone will never doQuestions people ask
- Do I need a photo of my hands?
- No, but it helps. Without one you still get shape, finish and shade guidance; with one, the length and shape advice fits your actual nail beds.
- Can I take this to a salon?
- That is what it is for. The output is written to be shown to someone, not just read by you.
- Does it handle nail art?
- It describes the design in usable terms. Intricate hand-painted work still depends on your technician's skill, and we say when a reference is ambitious.
