Frequently asked questions

How can I create black nail designs?

Start from a gallery idea or describe your own look, then adjust shape, colors, style, occasion, skin tone, and length before generating.

Are black designs private?

Generated designs are private by default. They only become public if you submit them to the gallery and they pass review.

Can I use a reference image for nail designs?

Yes. A reference image can help suggest shape, colors, and style, but you can adjust every option before creating designs.
