Change Nail Polish Color in Photoshop

It’s is pretty much common that you have put a not so good looking nail polish on an important day. It might be your wedding day, your birthday, your anniversary, or it could be anything. Unfortunately it’s not possible to turn back time and change the color of your nail polish, but it’s possible to change nail polish color in Photoshop so that you don’t get embarrassed when you show the pictures to your family and friends.

This is a pretty much short tutorial and should not take more than 10 minutes. The technique that  I am going to use is also pretty much easy to use. The best thing is that this technique does not involve any adjustment layer. It just uses a blend mode. So you don’t have to remember anything.

So let’s begin the tutorial, but before that, let me show you the final picture.

Step 1

The first thing that you need to do is to select the nail that you want the color to be changed. I am going to do it with the help of Quick Selection Tool. In case you are not aware of Quick Selection Tool, you can refer to my tutorial Quick Selection Tool that I wrote few years ago.

We need to change the foreground color now. Click on the foreground color.

Now choose that color that you want to be used as your new nail polish. I am going to choose a shade of blue. You can choose any color you want.

Step 3

Create a new layer by either going to Layer>New>Layer, or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N. Change its blend mode to Color.

4

Grab Brush Tool from the tool panel or press Shift+B again and again until it comes. Brush on the selected area. When you are brushing, you would notice that the color will change to blue.
