Five smart tools for nails that suit you and last
NailWise is a set of five practical calculators and guides for anyone who gets gel or acrylic, experiments with nail styles, or is simply trying to grow their natural nails back. Every tool runs on your own answers, so what you get is specific to your hands, not generic advice.
The shape finder and break-risk checker look at your finger length, nail bed width, desired length and what your hands actually do all day, then tell you which of almond, coffin, square, round, oval or stiletto will survive your week.
The symptom guide explains peeling, ridges, white spots, discolouration and lifting in plain words, and the recovery countdown turns the average nail growth rate of about 3 mm per month into a realistic date for your goal length.

Almond, coffin, square, round, oval or stiletto
This tool tells you which nail shape (almond, coffin, square, round, oval, or stiletto) will actually suit your hands and survive your daily life, instead of guessing and regretting it. Answer a few quick questions about your finger length, your natural nail bed shape, how long you want your nails, and what your hands do all day. In under a minute you get one recommended shape with a short reason, plus one backup option, so you walk into the salon knowing exactly what to ask for.
Finger length
Nail bed shape
Nail bed is the pink part of your nail. Wide means it looks broader than it is tall.
Length you want
Pick everything that applies. This is what decides whether a long shape lasts a week or three days.
How your length and shape hold up in a normal week
This tool shows how likely your chosen nail length and shape are to break or snag during a normal week, so you can pick a set that survives real life. Tell us your planned length and shape and select the things your hands do most. You get a simple risk score (low, medium, or high), the tasks most likely to cause a break, and a safer suggestion if your risk is high. Most breaks happen at the side where the nail meets the skin, so a small change here saves you a painful snap later.

A plain-words guide to what your nails are showing
This tool helps you understand what your nails are telling you: whether that white patch, ridge, peeling edge, or lifting corner is normal or a sign of damage or infection. Pick the symptom that looks closest to yours, or upload a clear photo of the nail. You get a plain explanation of the likely cause, simple at-home steps, and a clear signal for when it is time to see a dermatologist. This is general guidance to help you understand your nails, it is not a medical diagnosis.
Your photo stays on your device. Use it to compare with the guidance below, or to show a dermatologist.
A real timeline for growing your nails back
This tool gives you a realistic timeline for your nails to grow back healthy after gel, acrylic, or breakage damage, and keeps you on track while they heal. Tell us your current nail state and how much length you want to regrow (fingernails grow about 3mm a month, so we can estimate the weeks for you). You get a countdown, a weekly care checklist, and gentle progress tracking, so instead of getting frustrated and giving up, you watch real progress week by week.
Free edge you have now: 1.0 mm
Length you want: 6.0 mm
Free edge is the white part that grows past your fingertip. Measure from where the pink ends to the tip.
Shades chosen for your skin tone and your occasion
This tool finds nail colors and designs that actually flatter your skin tone and fit the occasion, so you stop wasting money on shades that look wrong on your hands. Choose your skin tone from the guide (or upload a photo of your hand) and pick the occasion. You get a curated set of colors and design ideas made for your tone, with a short reason each one works, so your next manicure earns compliments instead of regret.
Optional. The photo is read in your browser: we average the skin pixels in the centre of the image and pick the closest tone for you. Use even, natural light.
