You already have lighted eyelashes and a digital dress that will make you look like a person from the future. But your future look is yet to be complete—at least not without nails that you can change the shade of on the fly. That’s right. Those are not the only high-tech apparel or fashion accessories money can buy. iPolish, an instant nail color changer, is here to add to eager futurists’ digital cosmetics.
Yup. We are indeed living in the future, but the rate of adoption for digital cosmetics—and the fact that we still do not have actual flying cars—makes today’s world look a lot less like The Fifth Element. But hey, we got RuPaul, don’t we? Anyhoo, back to these futuristic fashion accessories.
You may have already seen machines that print patterns on fingernails, but those just feel like high-tech toys for cavemen. The iPolish is on another level. Featuring patent-pending digital press-on acrylics paired with your iPhone or Android phone, iPolish lets you change the colors of the pseudo nails. You can choose from over 300 luxurious shades and change nail colors as you wish. No fuss, no mess. It promises to be free from toxic chemicals and cruelty.
The starter kit comes with everything you need to start wearing high-tech acrylic nails. It includes 24 standard press-on acrylic nails in sizes 0–11 to fit most fingernails—two of each size—a bottle of iPolish Hyper Glue to adhere the nails onto your natural fingernails, a Quick Dry Clear Top Coat and a mini buffer for sprucing up the fake nails, a dual-edge designer metal cuticle tool to assist in application, and the iPolish Magic Wand which, in addition to a USB-C port for charging, has a nail port (yes, it’s a thing). You place the nail one at a time into it to change the color, after setting it in the app on your phone.
Man. At this rate, we could be putting animated GIFs and memes on our nails. If you are keen, you may pre-order the iPolish starter kit for US$95. Shipping is expected to start sometime in June 2026.
