Nail Products Ad Prompts: Copy-Paste Examples

Skip the blank page: paste any of these nail products ad prompts into Claude with Polaris connected and a finished UGC-style clip comes back in the thread. Each prompt sets the scene, actor, action and lighting — you just swap in your product.

The prompts

1. Application close-up: UGC vertical macro video: a woman's hands at a clean white desk applying press-on nails — buffing, sizing a nail against her finger, pressing it down for ten seconds, then flexing the finished hand toward the lens. Bright daylight plus ring light, real-time pacing with jump cuts, soft-spoken tutorial-style voiceover.
2. Day-seven proof: Handheld selfie clip in a kitchen: a woman shows her week-old gel manicure up close under window light, then films herself scrubbing a pan and typing on a laptop, returning to a close-up to show zero chips or lifting. Natural morning light, honest check-in tone, slightly shaky authentic framing.
3. Salon comparison: UGC talking-head at a bathroom vanity: a woman holds her freshly done at-home set next to her phone showing a photo of her last salon manicure, comparing them finger by finger and mentioning the time it took her at home. Warm vanity bulbs, conspiratorial money-saving tone, phone propped on the counter.
4. Unboxing the kit: Top-down desk unboxing: hands open a nail kit and lay out the sizes card, glue, prep pads, and nail sets in rows, picking up individual nails to show the shape and shine to the camera. Clean bright desk lamp lighting, satisfying organized pacing, excited first-impression voiceover.
5. Removal demo: Macro UGC clip over a bowl of warm soapy water: a woman soaks her fingertips, gently slides a press-on off, and holds her natural nail right up to the lens to show a smooth undamaged surface. Soft kitchen daylight, calm reassuring narration aimed at viewers scared of acrylic damage, handheld close framing.
6. Naptime manicure: Lifestyle vertical video: a mom at a kitchen table with a baby monitor beside her does a full press-on set, glancing at the monitor once, and finishes with a timer on her phone showing the elapsed minutes as she fans out her nails. Warm afternoon home light, relatable hurried-but-happy energy, handheld phone shots.
7. Durability torture test: Fast-cut UGC montage: the same manicured hand opens a soda can tab, pulls a car door handle, zips a jacket, digs through a handbag, and finally presents all ten nails intact to the camera. Mixed indoor and outdoor daylight, punchy quick pacing, playful narrator counting each test out loud.
8. Gel lamp routine: Cozy evening UGC video: a woman at her desk paints a gel color on one hand, slides it under a small UV lamp, waits out the cure while talking to camera, then reveals the glossy cured finish tilted in the lamp light. Moody warm desk lamp plus screen glow, relaxed self-care-night tone, phone propped at desk level.
