SEOUL, Aug. 1 (Korea Bizwire) – A smartphone application called “Nailist,” developed by “Cellus,” broke the 10,000 download mark in just a week from the launch and gained huge popularity among young women whose interests are nail art.
Nailist is a nail art image social app where anyone who is interested in nail care and beauty can share images of nail arts and also view them in different categories.
In past several years, nail art rapidly has drawn much interest from women and became an ordinary beauty treatment like hair dressing and make-ups. It is not hard to find a young woman who carries photos of her artistically painted nails in her smartphones nowadays.
The application is an reflection of such trend and targeted the “ultra-niche” market, focusing solely on nail arts and creating an online community for it. The nail-beauty app currently holds over 300 high-quality pictures of nail arts and 20 or more pictures are uploaded every day.
“Weekly best,” “Nails shops in our neighborhood” and “nail art events” are the unique features of “Nailist” which will showcase the latest trend in the nail-fashion industry.
The menu “nail shops in our neighborhood” will show information such as salon name, location and price of nail shops all across the nation as well as the images of their products, so that users can readily search for shops that suit their styles.
By July of this year, the national license scheme for nail artists has been implemented which is expected to stimulate the nail art industry but also to make the competition fiercer for the industry with more nail shops mushrooming.
The application will serve as a new marketing platform for nail art shops to help them get through such high-rising competition.
Yoon Han-Suk, the CEO of Cellus, said, “Nailist is an beauty image social app suited for all trend-conscious women out there, and will provide valuable services to self-nail artists, nail-shop goers and nail shop owners.”
The CEO also added, “Since it is still in the beta stage, we will actively seek to hear suggestions and complaints from our users and keep it updated before the official launch.”
