Clean
Last week’s polish is chipped and it has to come off. Scrub with a soapy sponge, a file or a buffer until every nail is bare.
naily
Paint the nails. Get glitter everywhere. Nothing to clean up.
A pretend nail salon that fits on a tablet. Scrub off last week’s polish, pick a colour, seal it under a top coat — then wipe it all off and start again.

Three layers, in the order a real salon does them
Paint
Pick a colour and a pattern, then drag across the nails. The polish goes on from the cuticle up, one nail at a time or all five in a stroke.
Polish
Seal it under a top coat — glass gloss, velvet matte, chrome, a rainbow holo — and press a charm on top.

Made for a four-year-old
- Nothing can be got wrong. No timer, no score, no losing. A colour she has gone off is replaced by painting over it.
- Nothing can be got stuck on. The Next button is always live, and every step can be revisited from the bar at the top.
- Nothing depends on reading. Every control is a shape or a small picture of what it does. The words underneath are for you.
- Big targets. The nails have generous edges and a dragged finger paints every nail it crosses, because a small hand is not precise.
- Sound is a toggle in the corner, on by default, remembered between visits.
- Motion respects your device. With reduced motion turned on, the sparkles do not fire.
For grown-ups
There are no advertisements, no links out of the game, no chat, no leaderboard and no third-party scripts. The page loads its own code and nothing else — not even a webfont.
Play does not need an account and saved manicures stay in the browser on that device. An account exists only so the shelf follows you between a tablet and a laptop; nothing on it is public and nothing is shared.
