'ShadeScout Nails' is a new app that allows users to find a nail polish that matches anything they see. For many women, experimenting with nail art is a fun way to add a dose of color to their wardrobe. This new app helps women select the perfect shade for their next manicure.
The ShadeScout app allows users to find a nail polish that matches nearly any color they may encounter throughout their day. To use the app, a user simply uploads a photo and identifies the color they wish to match. The app will then pull up a list of nail polishes that match the exact shade in the photo. The app allows users to virtually experiment with these colors and purchase their favorite options. As company founder and CEO Linda Smith explains, "It’s about personalization and helping shoppers find exactly what they are looking for."
The app ultimately provides a fun way for consumers to discover and purchase new shades.
