Open in the studioAutumn 2026 nail design: three combinations to start with
In autumn people most often ask for deep colours, cat-eye and short nails. Press “Build this one”: the builder above sets the same options, and you can change the colour or shape to taste.
Almond and cat-eye
The light stripe along an almond shape visually lengthens the fingers. Burgundy and brown give the warmest tone.
Short square and French
A good option for the office and for people who type a lot. On short nails a thin smile line looks neater than a wide one.
Oval and autumn nail art
Art on two nails, the rest in a single colour. The manicure does not look overloaded and is easier for a nail technician to repeat.
Square, almond, oval or stiletto: which design suits which shape
The same design looks different on a different shape. A quick guide to where to start.
- Square
- What it is good for: Strong and practical on short nails
- What looks good on it: French, solid red or black, geometry
- Almond
- What it is good for: Lengthens the fingers even at medium length
- What looks good on it: Cat-eye, chrome powder, soft nude
- Oval
- What it is good for: The most natural shape, suits almost everyone
- What looks good on it: Milky, pink, delicate nail art
- Stiletto
- What it is good for: Striking on long nails
- What looks good on it: Black, glitter, mirror chrome
For short nails, add “a neat design for short nails” to the prompt: the AI scales the art down and does not lengthen the nails for effect.
Try a manicure on your own hand from a photo
- 1
Photograph your hand on a light-coloured table in daylight. Bare nails and an old polish both work.
- 2
Choose “Try on my hand” and build the design. Try-on runs on Nano Banana 2.1, which changes only the nails.
- 3
Compare two or three versions, changing only the colour. Show the one you like to your nail technician: it is easier to explain what you want.
The AI draws the length you chose, but the real length depends on your own nails. If you want them longer, talk to your nail technician about extensions.
Manicure ideas for nail technicians: collections and client matching
Matching at the consultation
A client is torn between nude and red? Photograph her hand and show both options in a couple of minutes, before the old polish comes off.
Seasonal collection
Six ideas in one style for a “this season’s looks” post. Label them as sketches, and take bookings only for the ones you can confidently repeat.
Design layout
For a complex design, ask for a finger-by-finger layout: which nail is the accent, where the glitter goes, where the art goes. Handy to keep in front of you while you work.

FAQ
How do I make a nail design with AI?
Pick the shape, length, finish, colour and season in the builder and press “Open in the studio”. You can add details in your own words: “glitter only on the ring finger”, “matte top coat”.
Can I try a manicure on my own hand from a photo?
Yes. Switch on “Try on my hand” and upload a photo. The AI redraws the nails and leaves the skin, rings and background as in the photo.
Which design suits short nails?
Solid gloss, a thin French and cat-eye look good on square or oval nails. Bigger art is best kept to a single accent nail.
Square or almond: how do I know which suits me?
Try both on a photo of your hand in the same colour. The difference is clear at once: almond lengthens the fingers, square looks stricter.
Can I generate manicure ideas for free?
Pictures are created on plans from ₽690. On the free Starter plan you can ask for a text description of a design, but not an image.
Can a nail technician show these pictures to clients?
Yes, as sketches and idea collections. In a portfolio it is fairer to post your own work, and to label generated pictures as ideas you are ready to repeat.
