Printable nail salon party invitations at `/nail-salon-party-invitations`. Two designs, each a painted hand from the nail ideas pages with blank lines for who, when, where and RSVP to fill in with a pen, and "Try painting this look before the party" with naily's address and a code that opens the same hand in the salon, ready to change, with no account. Each prints two to an A4 or US Letter sheet; cut along the dashed line and each half works on its own. Nothing about the party is typed into naily, and the code is drawn on the page itself. Linked from the colouring sheets and the grown-ups section of the front page.

naily in French. `/fr` is a front page for French-speaking families — "Jeu de manucure pour enfants" — and `/fr/play` is the same salon with every label, hint, button and sharing message in French. Saved manicures and sent links work in all four languages, and "English" / "Português" / "Español" / "Français" switches between them with the same hand on the table. The account page, the ideas pages and the colouring sheets are still in English, and the French pages say so. Like the other translated salons, `/fr/play` is not kept for offline play.

naily in Spanish. `/es` is a front page for Spanish-speaking families — "Juego de pintar uñas para niños" — and `/es/play` is the same salon with every label, hint, button and sharing message in Spanish. Saved manicures and sent links work in all three languages, and "English" / "Português" / "Español" switches between them with the same hand on the table. The account page, the ideas pages and the colouring sheets are still in English, and the Spanish pages say so. Like `/pt/play`, the Spanish salon is not kept for offline play.

Keep or send a picture of a finished manicure. "Save or send a picture" sits beside the send button on the done screen, and every hand on the salon shelf has a picture button. It shows a preview of the hand with naily's address and a code that opens the same manicure in the salon, ready to change. Nothing is saved or sent until you press Download, Send picture (where the device can share files) or Send the link. The picture is drawn on your device, with no account and no upload. In Portuguese on `/pt/play`; not in the embedded salon.

The salon works offline. Open `/play` once with a connection and the browser keeps a copy; a line under the salon shelf says "Ready to play offline on this device" once it has. Offline, clean, paint, polish and saving to the device shelf all work. Offline saves stay on that device and are never added to an account; signing in waits for a connection.
Keep naily on a tablet's home screen. `/offline-nail-game` explains how to prepare offline play and how to add the salon to the home screen in Safari on iPad and iPhone and in Android browsers, with an install button where the browser offers one. The browser's own install banner never appears by itself.

A guest-only salon for activity sites to embed, with a live preview and copyable code at `/embed`. Browser storage restrictions are explained and grown-ups can carry a manicure into the full salon.

naily in Portuguese. `/pt` is a front page in European Portuguese — "Jogo de pintar unhas para crianças" — and `/pt/play` is the same salon with every label, hint and button in Portuguese. Saved manicures and sent links work in both languages, and "Português" / "English" switches between them with the same hand on the table. The account page is still in English, and says so.

Send a finished manicure to someone. The done screen and every hand on the salon shelf have a send button: on a phone it opens the share sheet, on a computer it copies a link. The link opens the salon with that hand on the table, ready to change, and needs no account. It is made on your device and goes only where you send it.
Links to naily now show a picture of a painted hand when they are pasted into a chat or pinned — the front page, the salon and every nail ideas page.

Nail design ideas pages: a gallery of finished hands for each pattern — French tips, ombre, polka dots, stripes, glitter tips and full colour — at `/ideas`. Every hand has a "Paint this one" button that opens the salon with that manicure already on the nails, ready to change.

The salon: clean, paint and polish a set of nails, then keep what you made on the shelf.
An optional account, so the shelf follows you between a tablet and a laptop. The game itself needs no account and never has.
