Digital press-on nails that change colour in seconds with just the tap of a button have debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas, US.
iPolish’s technology sees the nails switch from one colour to another without the need for applying a physical product such as traditional polish or gel-polish.
The beauty tech start-up’s digital acrylics are applied in the same way as standard press-on nails, but incorporate electrophoretic nanopolymers that operate in a similar way to e-ink.
The nails come with a ‘magic wand’ that connects to the iPolish app on iPhone or Android devices via bluetooth, where wearers can choose from more than 300 colours.
A wave of the wand over each nail – which is battery-free and waterproof – then updates to the chosen shade.
The Florida-based company is taking pre-orders for the nails with delivery touted for June this year.
A starter kit priced at US$95 includes 24 nails in 12 standard sizes, the magic wand and USB-C charging cable.
A number of tools for prepping and applying nails are also included such as nail file, cuticle tool, glue and top coat.
iPolish’s nails are not currently reusable, and refills are available for $6.50 for a pack of two, with a full new set costing $32.50.
A manufacturers warranty covers the first seven days of continuous use, and the company says that they should typically last 14 days and be changed with normal nail growth.
