Smart Color-Changing Nails You Can Adjust With an App
mymodernmet.com: Imagine a manicure that can shift from subtle nude to bold crimson in seconds, without a drop of polish or a visit to the salon. That once speculative idea became tangible at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where digital beauty brand iPolish introduced app-controlled press-on nails capable of changing color on demand.

When I first saw this article, I admittedly did think that it was going to be talking about nails as in the item used in construction, and I was like “wo,w that’s kinda cool, I don’t really understand why anyone would need that, but okay i guess”. When I realized it was about nail polish, it made a lot more sense to me, but I still have some questions. First of all, I feel like in order to get this technology into a press-on nail, it may cause the nail to be quite thick and possibly uncomfortable. Also, I feel that they could also be quite fragile, and if it’s something you’re going to be wearing all day, every day, they need to be super resilient. I’m curious to see how this technology evolves if it takes off and how it could be used in the theater industry, including the possibility of use for SFX.
I’m the last person you would expect to talk about nail color or artificial nails, but this technology does seem interesting. I am someone who has never worn nail polish or fake nails or anything like it, so my general belief on this specific product is that it is a gimmick that is a waste of money, and just another thing to take up space on your hands. That being said, the tech is interesting. I’m not sure exactly how the technology works or what the cost is, but the ability to dynamically change the color of an object without power or paint could have significant implications. What if this kind of technology could be integrated into digital signs or billboards, that could easily change their text, but would stay in the same look indefinitely without needing any power. I think that the big downside to that solution is that you would somehow need to get the programming circuitry to a sign each time that you wanted to change what it said, rather than just being able to remotely push changes.
