Amazon Ads' first virtual try-on experience, Virtual Manicure allows Amazon customers to try on over 100 unique nail looks. Customers can add products to their Amazon cart and check out, without ever leaving the augmented reality experience.

Recognizing the inability to test products before purchase is a pain point for online beauty shoppers — and a strength for in-person salon manicures—we developed a first-of-its-kind augmented reality (AR) experience that let online customers ‘try before they buy.’

The tool was also built with social-sharing in mind—customers are able to take photos of their virtual manicures and seamlessly share links to the experience with their contacts via text.
