Nails Neon
Niche category, on a 9:16 vertical canvas, with Bebas Neue labels reading Before and After, over a gradient ground. Drag the handle to see it work.

What Nails Neon is for
Near-black, a four point magenta rule, magenta wording in condensed caps, vertical, square corners. This is the loudest thing in the nail pack, and it is built for a Reel rather than a feed tile. It suits neon and glow sets, bright acrylics, and the kind of work that photographs badly under warm salon light and needs a cold frame around it.
#0A0A0A shades into #1A001A behind the two halves, and that wash is part of the template rather than a filter on your photographs. Labels are set in Bebas Neue, bottom centre, over a 4 point #FF00AA divider. The canvas is 9:16 vertical, square, with no radius at all, and the labels arrive reading Before and After.

Every value in Nails Neon, as the build holds it
What makes a trade template a trade template lives mostly in the small values: the wording already sitting in the labels, the palette, the crop it was cut to. The geometry is drawn below at the app's drawing scale, and the panel next to it lists the record's words, default labels included, so the retyping you avoid is visible up front.

Shooting for itNiche category
How to shoot a pair for Nails Neon
Trade work is judged by people who do the same work, so the pair has to survive an expert eye. Hair and makeup need the same head angle and the same light, because a chin lifted two inches reads as a different face. Nails need one fixed distance, hands in the same position both times. Detailing and landscaping need the wide shot before the close-up, or nobody believes the panel belongs to the car. A pair that would satisfy somebody in your trade will satisfy a customer easily.
In orderWritten for niche work
- 01Take the before before you start work, not after you have half finished. This is the step every trade skips and every trade regrets.
- 02Mark your standing spot. A tile, a chair leg, a wheel arch, a paving stone: something that will still be there when you shoot the after.
- 03Shoot the after from that mark with Ghost Camera on, then take a second one a step closer for the detail.
- 04Pick the pack for your trade. The label wording and the palette are already right, so the only real decision left is the canvas shape.
- 05Add your business name in the branding strip if the template reserves one, then export. Trade work gets shared, and a name in the frame travels with it.
Trade work gets judged by people who do the same work, so hold the pair up to that eye before it goes out. The browser slider tool does it on your own device in about two seconds, and the guide to fake-looking pairs is built around the mistakes trade pairs make most often.
Honest limitsTwo of them, and both are real
What Nails Neon will not do
A template tuned to a trade is a palette and a default label, nothing more. It does not know your subject, and it will happily frame a pair that does not match. The two hardest cases in this category are honest ones: hair and makeup change with the light, so a warm salon bulb over the after does most of the work you were hoping the haircut would do, and a pet photographed wet looks like a different animal from a pet photographed dry. Shoot both frames dry, in the same spot, or the post argues with itself.
On this template in particularThe gradient is part of the template rather than a filter over your photographs, so it cannot be turned off or recoloured. If the ground is fighting your subject, the fix is a different template rather than a setting.

Common questions
- Who is the Nails Neon template for?
- Near-black, a four point magenta rule, magenta wording in condensed caps, vertical, square corners. This is the loudest thing in the nail pack, and it is built for a Reel rather than a feed tile. It suits neon and glow sets, bright acrylics, and the kind of work that photographs badly under warm salon light and needs a cold frame around it.
- When should I use something other than Nails Neon?
- Magenta type on a magenta rule around a magenta set is three of the same thing. If the set itself is pink, Nails Glam gives you the same dark ground with the accent moved to gold.
- Is Nails Neon free?
- No, it is one of the Pro templates. The free tier opens 8 of the 100, and everything else in the editor is free with them: all four comparison modes, Ghost Camera, the filters, the stickers, the full label editor, and your own logo and business name.
- What shape is Nails Neon, and what will it export at?
- The template's canvas is 9:16 vertical. The export ratio is a separate choice made in the export sheet: 9:16 and 1:1 on the free tier, plus 4:5 and the original ratio on Pro. 9:16 is among them, so the canvas and the export can match exactly.
- Can I change the BEFORE and AFTER wording?
- Yes. Nails Neon starts with "Before" and "After", and every part of that is editable: the text, the typeface, the colour, the size, bold and italic, uppercase, a shadow, the background opacity, and the position, either one of five presets or dragged anywhere on the canvas.
- Can I compare two video clips with this?
- Not at all. Take a photograph before the job and a photograph after it; that pair is the entire input, and the app turns it into a reveal. Filming the job and cutting it down is a different tool's work.
