MacroNAILS 4K 35–115 mm – macro lens for your smartphone

The MacroNAILS 4K lens was created for photographing nails and the details of a nail set. It lets you take close-ups of a single nail as well as wider shots of the whole hand, so with one accessory you can capture both a detail shot and the whole piece of work.

This phone macro lens gives you a clear image, sharp focus, true-to-life colour and natural nail proportions. The optics limit lens flare and unwanted light distortion, and nails at the edges of the frame keep their natural look.

ZoomNAILS 4K 55–115 mm – greater magnification

The ZoomNAILS 4K lens is an additional macro lens designed to complement MacroNAILS. It screws directly onto the 35–115 mm lens and increases magnification, so you can capture even more detail of a manicure. It also fits the Content Daily Nails 4K 145 mm lens.

It works especially well when you want to show nail art, the texture of a nail set, precise workmanship and the smallest details of the nails. Like MacroNAILS, it gives a clear 4K image, natural colour reproduction and no distortion or flare.

Content Daily Nails 4K 145 mm – phone lens for filming from a distance

The Content Daily Nails 4K 145 mm lens was made for nail stylists who film their work every day. The phone sits further from the hand, the whole nail set fits in the frame, and a wide depth of field keeps the entire hand sharp – even when your hand moves slightly during the treatment. It's the lens for reels showing the styling process, before-and-after videos, tutorials and photos of the finished manicure.

You attach it to the phone's camera with a clip, and after work you put on the cap with the Julia Nessa logo and store it in the powder-pink case. When you need more magnification, you screw ZoomNAILS onto it – without taking the lens off your phone.

Which phone lens should you choose?

Each lens is a good one – for a different job. Choose according to what you film most often:

• ♥ close-ups and details – the MacroNAILS 35–115 mm macro lens: a single nail, fine glitter, nail art, product texture,
• ♥ the whole hand and the working process – Content Daily Nails 4K 145 mm: shots from a distance, wide depth of field,
• ♥ even greater magnification – the ZoomNAILS 55–115 mm lens that screws onto MacroNAILS or Content Daily Nails.

Many nail stylists use two lenses, because together they give a full set of shots for a portfolio and social media.

A set for nail macro photography

Combining both lenses gives you greater magnification without needing a professional camera. It's a solution for nail stylists who want to get the most out of the camera in their smartphone.

You can buy MacroNAILS separately and use it on its own – ZoomNAILS is a complement, not a replacement. The extra magnification comes in handy when photographing nail art, lines, colour transitions and details that are harder to capture in standard phone photos.

Mounting on your phone – clip and lens protection

You attach MacroNAILS with a practical clip that lets you quickly fix the lens to your phone. When you finish work, you put it in the included powder-pink case, and the metal lens protector additionally protects the lens during storage.

ZoomNAILS has a plastic lens protector that protects the lens during storage and transport.

Mobile photography in a nail stylist's work

Detailed photos of a manicure help you showcase the quality of your work, the precision of your nail art and the final result of the nail set. That makes the lens useful both for portfolio photos and for content on Instagram, TikTok and other social media.

Both lenses also work well for filming – for reels, tutorials and other nail content. If you shoot a lot of material, a phone tripod will also come in handy to steady the shot.

How to take a macro photo with your phone – 5 tips

• ♥ Fix your phone in place – for close-up photos even a slight movement blurs the image, so a tripod over your nail desk helps a lot.
• ♥ Look after the light – even, white light, for example from an LED lamp above your nail desk, shows the true colour of the gel polish and reduces shadows.
• ♥ Clean the lens – a fingerprint on the lens can ruin a photo more than a weaker camera.
• ♥ Focus on the nails – tap the screen on the nail set before you take the photo or start filming.
• ♥ Film short clips – a few seconds for each stage of the work is easy to edit into a reel afterwards.

Macro lens for nails – frequently asked questions

Does ZoomNAILS work on its own? No. ZoomNAILS screws onto the MacroNAILS 35–115 mm lens or onto Content Daily Nails 4K 145 mm and increases their magnification.

Which lens should I start with? With the one you film most often: for close-ups and details, start with the MacroNAILS macro lens; for shots of the whole hand from a distance, start with Content Daily Nails. Both attach to your phone with a clip. You can add ZoomNAILS later, when you want even greater magnification.

What does a macro lens do? It lets you take a sharp photo from a very short distance – you can see the details of a single nail, fine glitter and nail art that an ordinary phone camera won't show as clearly.

Is the lens suitable for filming video? Yes. Both work well for photos as well as video.

How do I store the lens? You put MacroNAILS in the included case and fit the metal lens protector. Content Daily Nails has a cap with the logo and a powder-pink case. ZoomNAILS has its own plastic protector.
