YouCam Nails is built for one job - virtual try-on of nail polish colors via your phone camera. NailDraft is built for a different one: generating new nail design ideas from scratch. If you already know the color and just want to see it on your hand, YouCam works. If you're still designing the set - shape, length, finish, art - NailDraft renders photoreal options from a single prompt.

Frequently asked

Is NailDraft a replacement for YouCam Nails?

For design generation, yes - NailDraft creates fresh photoreal designs from prompts. For polish-on-hand AR try-on with a live camera, YouCam is still purpose-built for that and we don't do AR.

Can NailDraft show a polish color on my real hand?

No. NailDraft renders a photoreal sample hand with the design you described. We don't use your camera or upload your photos.

Which one is free?

Both have free tiers. NailDraft gives 1 free design preview on signup so you can try the generator before deciding to upgrade.
