Virtu AI is a web platform that empowers fashion enthusiasts to design personalized press-on nails using AI, turning digital concepts into tangible objects for self expression. By blending AI models with artisanal craftsmanship, it redefines nail art through a creative and customized experience. The platform is designed to support users with intuitive navigation, fosters their creativity and ideation, and enables high-quality refinement, transforming their ideas into reality. Virtu AI bridges the gap between AI, customer needs, and nail art expertise, allowing users to unleash their creativity and showcase their unique style.

As an end-to-end solution, Virtu AI features two core components. The Image Generation session provides a playful and visual ideation process where AI works behind the scenes, helping users explore their unique styles while emphasizing personal creativity over prompt engineering. The Nail Matching session allows users to effortlessly match, compare, and refine their designs, achieving high-quality outcomes. The web app’s UX and UI seamlessly integrate generative AI in a supportive role, empowering users to realize their ideas while ensuring that technology enhances rather than overwhelms their creative journey.
