Milk Nail API
Render the sheer, milky white manicure trend on real hand photos in real time, with per finger color control and automatic nail detection built for production apps.
How to Use the Milk Nail API in 3 Steps
From a hand photo to a rendered milk nail look in one call.
Send a selfie, an uploaded photo, or an image URL of a hand through the API. The engine detects fingers and nail beds automatically.
Choose a sheer or jelly finish in a milky white or milky pink shade, and set opacity per finger if the design calls for it.
The API returns a high definition image with the milk nail finish applied, shaped to the real nail bed and ready to display.
What Is the Milk Nail API?
The milk nail look is a sheer, milky white or milky pink manicure that has become one of the most searched nail trends online.
- Renders the look instantly on a real hand photo, no physical polish required
- Uses a sheer finish setting to recreate the soft, translucent milk nail effect
- Works from a selfie, an uploaded photo, or a product in hand image
- Returns a high definition result through a single API call
Built for the Sheer, Milky Finish
Milk nail shades live in the sheer and jelly finish range, and the API is built to render that translucent quality accurately rather than flattening it into a solid opaque color.
- Eight finish types available, including sheer, jelly, cream, and pearl
- Opacity and contrast can be tuned per nail for a lighter or richer milk tone
- Five nail shapes supported, including almond, square, and squoval
- Shadow and depth are adjusted automatically so the render looks natural under real light
One Hand, Five Independent Finishes
Not every customer wants all ten nails the same. The API configures color, texture, and nail art independently for each finger in a single render call.
- Mix a milk base with an accent nail on the ring finger
- Apply nail art only to selected fingers
- Keep the rest of the set in a clean, uniform milky tone
- All five fingers render together in one response
Expand Your Integration: More Hand and Nail APIs
Let customers transfer any nail art design they find online directly onto their own hand photo.
Pair the milk nail look with virtual ring try-on for a complete hand styling experience in one integration.
Built on Precise Nail Detection
Every render starts with automatic detection of finger position and nail bed shape, so the milk nail finish follows the real curve and edge of each nail instead of sitting as a flat overlay.
- Detects nail bed shape and boundary automatically from any hand photo
- Supports almond, stiletto, square, oval, and squoval shapes
- Holds up across different skin tones and hand positions
- Optimized for low latency so renders feel instant on mobile
One API, Any Platform
Standard RESTful architecture with clear JSON responses drops into any website or app, so teams keep their own UI and only call the API for the render.
- Code samples available in JavaScript, Java, Flutter, Python, PHP, Node.js, and cURL
- Swagger and OpenAPI documentation included
- Auto scaling infrastructure built for enterprise traffic
- Runs consistently across web, iOS, and Android
