No updates

Might have been helpful in the past, but entire brands are missing - like Olive and June

Please add TGB biab colours to your database

I absolutely love your app! I didn’t know it even existed until I Googled “app for finding nail varnish colour dupes,” and an article in the Evening Standard about your app popped up.

I always like to color match the BIAB polish I get at the salon every three weeks with a non-BIAB nail polish for my toes. It’s really difficult and time-consuming to find matching shades, and I’ve wasted so much money on nail varnishes that don’t come close.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add the entire colour range of THB (The Gel Bottle™) BIAB range to your database!

No longer operating??

I’ve downloaded the app and tried to create a personal account and a business account. Both are chucking errors at me.
No response on Facebook or Twitter so I can only assume that they no are longer working.

Great App Needs Update and Expansion

I downloaded this app to help me find some dupe shades in other brands. I love the overall look and feel of the app. Finding a dupe shade is super easy. I like that I can keep track of my collection and have a wish list.

The app feels incomplete and definitely needs an update with expansions of the brands and collections. A search feature would be nice so I can easily add the nail polishes I currently own to my collection. This app only has major drugstore brands and it would be nice to expand to popular indie brands as well.

Overall I think this app has a great start and with a few updates will become an invaluable tool.

Very few polishes

Why is the database so incomplete? It’s not even close to having most of the available polishes in any brand.

Amazing 10/10

Best app for tracking my polish collection and love the fact that I can take a pic of my outfit and find a polish to match instantly!

Fab app for nail art lovers / salons

I love using this app for myself and my nail clients ! Being able to reccomend exact nail colour matches through the photo colour recognition system is amazing and my clients love it ! I especially love being able to virtually keep records of my collection as well which is also useful for insurance purposes ! Fab little app ! 100% love using it :-)

Could be better for adding collections

Does not have full collections for some of the brands being hosted, some color swatches provided by brands are not color accurate and do not show accurate finishes (glitter v creme, etc) too difficult to add own accurate color swatches. In order to fill the box required to swatch, the color must be so close to the camera it distorts the light and color accuracy. Would be better if you could access existing photos to upload color swatches, or edit the photo to zoom and crop to fill the required size but still get an accurate color photo.

A polish Addict Must Have

This app is amazing for keeping track of your polish collection. They have tonnes of brands plus the ability to add your own if it’s an indie or simply not on the list. I love the scroll menus to describe what type of polish it is. By far the best app I’ve ever used to keep an accurate list of what polishes I have!

Good app, can't wait for more updates. (Long and detailed review)

It is great at narrowing down polishes with detailed categories. You can choose colors from photos, camera and from a color page. The polishes have the brand and the polish name provided, but the websites for the brands are not listed. There are not many polish colors, and a lot of the content in the app won't work until future updates, it's focused around UK use and location wise for finding nail salons. It's a very basic app and straight forward.

Here are the things I personally would like changed and things I would add.

1. I wish they had a much larger selection of polishes and brands, it seems to be minimal and have few brands (37 brands) most of which I haven't heard of.

2. I personally don't like the "color page" (move finger around screen and find a color) it's time consuming and there isn't a lot of shade differences between colors (ex: light pink, pink, med. pink, dark pink). It's overall finicky (if you want a darker shade of a certain color, you have to drag it up exactly straight or the color will change hue).

3. On the page after you click a polish color, it gives you a "Buy" option, which doesn't work, and gives a "coming soon" page. It doesn't give the brand's website, or the polish price (inconvenient for someone on a budget). Also, some of the polishes were "Limited edition" on the brand website, and I feel that should be mentioned, to know if it's available for purchase.

4. The "Collection" and the "Wish List". I feel like they are the same thing until the "Buy" option is avaliable. Also I would find it more personalizing to the user if the "Collection" can be organized into categories made by the user of the app (example: "Date night colors", "Winter Colors" etc.).

5. I thought anyone in the US should be aware that the "Find Salons & Nail Technicans" is strictly UK. You can not find any salons outside of that country.

6. The app should focus more on global use, and add polish brands from the US and Australia etc. It would make it more familiar for people living in different countries. And to allow people to keep track of their own polishes they own already buy having more brands from different country.

I wrote the list to hopefully help the developers on the app, I think it can be really popular. I hope any of this helps at all. I love this app a lot, and it was fun the find colors, and search through my camera and photos. Thank you x x

Genius Idea

What an excellent idea and brilliantly executed! I’m sharing with all my friends! 💅

Best polish app

I’ve tried them all and this is the best. So much potential to be an amazing polish tracking app. Really hoping to see this app grow!

Such a fun way to discover colours!

I had no way of finding my perfect colour or just exploring colours. This is great!!

Now my nails will be buffer than ever

I am a buff ting

So helpful!

I love it! I love picking colors off clothes I see and finding the closest color on the market. I usually stick to OPI or Essie, but this has helped me think outside the box. This app has also helped me keep my polishes organized and prevented me from buying a shade twice! It’s great!

Perfect for Nail Aficionados

Brings finding the right shade to the next level.
