Snapchat appears to be on a roll as it recently launched a long list of enhanced features for its AR initiative. The firm has opted to collaborate with leading lifestyle brand OPI for a unique project that entails a nail polish trial endeavor on this particular app. Moreover, such a Try-On process would enable users to play around with various nail polish shades launched by the brand through its camera. There’s a part called Nail Segmentation and it’s definitely updated with some interesting things seen on the platform’s AR toolkit.

It’s been done before but now, the advances have given rise to some great realistic offers that put such products on display through AR technology on the platform. The firm was seen speaking on the matter previously and it revealed how applying nail polish in a 2D effect manner that goes on users’ fingernails is just a great way to get a feel and look at what to experience in real life. Be it color, texture, detail, and more- brands can add

Snapchat’s newest AR filter will paint your nails for you — or at least give you an idea of what they might look like.The new AR lens applies color and other 2D designs to a Snapchat user’s fingernails, allowing them to virtually “try on” colors or designs before purchasing a bottle of nail polish. The new AR nail segmentation technology is launching in a partnership with OPI, a drugstore and nail salon mainstay. Snap is adding an AR filter featuring a handful of OPI colors as part of the partnership.The filter itself is fun to play around with and at the very least approximates what a new shade might look like on your nails. In my experience, some colors looked more realistic than others — a frosted light blue looked chunky, like I had dipped my hands in frosting, but a mauve shade looked pretty good. The filter also tended to get glitchy when my hands were placed in certain ways.Snapchat has added a slew of try-on features for everything from beauty products like lipstick to clothing and accessories that use its camera. Some have a direct shopping push, like a recent partnership with Amazon that lets users try on

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – A North Charleston man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a minor. Ty’Qwane Dix pled guilty to using an interstate commerce facility to coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina.

Dix was sentenced to 151 months in prison after an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His prison sentence will be followed by a lifetime of court-ordered supervision.
