Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming frequency of ads, appearing after almost every action or step in the game, making it frustrating and often unplayable for users. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of a 'smoother, faster, and better' experience in the latest update.R3R1R8R11
Misleading Ads negative
Many reviewers feel the game does not live up to the advertisements, which often depict more creative freedom, different gameplay mechanics (like cutting nails or injuring customers), or celebrity nail requests that are not present in the actual app.R12R6R29R149
Limited Options/Creativity negative
Users frequently express a desire for more choices in nail polishes, accessories, and designs. They also note a lack of freedom, as the game often dictates what to do rather than allowing player creativity or the ability to make mistakes.R9R8R21R91
Enjoyable Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, a significant number of users find the core nail design process fun, satisfying, and relaxing.R2R1R86R210

Who it's for

This game is for users who enjoy casual, guided nail art simulations and are willing to tolerate a very high volume of ads R9R86. It might appeal to those looking for a relaxing activity, provided they can overlook the frequent interruptions R86R210. It is not for users who dislike ads, expect creative freedom, or want a game that accurately reflects its advertisements .

Evidence note: The evidence for excessive ads is overwhelming and consistent across many reviews. Evidence for glitches/lagging is present but less frequent than ad complaints. The developer's notes claim fixes for smoothness and speed, but recent reviews still report lagging and crashing R24R234, indicating these issues may persist or have been introduced.

  5. [R26] 5/5 · US Very fun!!!! But...: Ok! So I have had this app for a while now and I enjoy using the app! I haven't gone on it because... you guessed it... TOO MANY ADS!!! I have seen so many reviews saying too many ads and I strongly believe that and think that also! It is an awesome game with so many options for the nails! I 100% recommend this to anyone! Even though it has SO many ads it is a enjoyable and a
  6. [R56] 5/5 · US love unlocking stuff: i’m an achiever and i love how you have to wait days to get stuff. trust me the ads, coins, and work with be worth it at the end.
  7. [R20] 5/5 · US Love it but one problem: I love this game! You can create any nail style and it is just one thing, there are a lot of ads and I like the game and all but there are a lot of ads but it’s fine that is why I gave a 5 star review!😊
  8. [R87] 3/5 · US Foxymoxydoggyreveiws: It’s a great game nice graphics and beautiful colors! This game is honestly for any ages though it say 13 plus it’s more like 8 or 9 plus or honestly younger. The only thing I would change is less adds. But other than that great game and a u should deffo get!
  9. [R3] 2/5 · US Too many adds: I am not going to say much It is Just that there are too many adds in the middle of when you are Doing the Nails and at the end like It is so annoying😤 and guess guess 😮 what to get anything you need to Watch add and devleper if you think you are going to get Richer or what cause not people will just delete the app
  10. [R8] 3/5 · US Read This!: Hello, I’ve had this game for a day. Yeah… short period of time, but long enough to realize the issue…😬There is a severe Ad issue… there will be up to 4 Ads at a time, there’s not that many choices of polishes either and when you tap on something that doesn’t have the Ad sign, Ugh… you guessed it. THERE’S A
  11. [R11] 2/5 · US ADS: I love the game but there is WAY TO MANY ADS! This needs to be fixed like after every step I do there is a AD
  12. [R12] 2/5 · US 😤SCAM!: This game is not like the adds. Oh, and there are soooooooooo many adds. I think this game would more fun if it had less adds and more free options. Otherwise this game is fun but a SCAM!
  13. [R6] 4/5 · US So many adds: The game is so fun and satisfying but the game is different than the adds and the game has so many adds
  14. [R29] 1/5 · US Terrible: It was nothing like in the video i was so excited to play this but it’s really just ridiculous 🙄 you don't get to the nail clippers until level 105 just no. Thank you for reading this Game creators do better
  15. [R149] 3/5 · GB A few problems!: Okay so the adds look rlly good with sound affects and real voices and stuff like that. But when u download the game it has none of that stuff in it. So I would like the adds to be more like the game or the game to be like the adds. Other then that it’s amazing!
  16. [R9] 1/5 · US Good but..: The game is fun..but it’s nothing compared to the adds at all and it tells you what to do the whole game and you only have limited options unless you want to pay to win. Recomend to users who don’t care about all of those things.
  17. [R21] 3/5 · US Needs less adds: The only reason I am giving this game 3 stars ✨ is because it has wayyyyyyy to many ads. It has so many ads that I can’t even relax when I am playing this game😔. Whenever I try to finish 1️⃣ round there is at least 5 ads that I have to watch. And honestly I think that you should open up more paints and utensils to use because it only leaves us a narrow range of nails to do, and if
  18. [R91] 3/5 · US Easy enough Right: I think personally that the game is pretty decent but I think the designers should add a little bit more to the game to make it more fun and creative for other people. I also think that it has great quality but one big thing that I’ve noticed is the lack of sources it has, for example there’s not a lot of options of colors or designs you can create your nails with. Which is ok I
  19. [R37] 2/5 · US Not fun: To many adds and will not let you do the game by yourself 👎👎👎👎
  20. [R104] 1/5 · GB No point!: Right I saw an ad of this game so I decided let’s get it it looks fun! And don’t get me wrong it is really fun, however after every round there is at least ONE ad. As well as this, the game doesn’t let you choose what to do, for example you can’t file a nail the way you want to, you have to do a specific shape that the game chooses. Do not reccomend.
  21. [R147] 3/5 · GB You literally can’t make a mistake: Okay so I down loaded this app to like, make mistakes ( like on the add ) but it turns out YOU CANT honestly I think they should hange the rating to a 6+ or something so if the developer answers this please can you make an update were you can make mistakes and I will for sure be the first one to download it thanks for reading bye 👋
  22. [R228] 3/5 · AU Acrylics: Not the best like in the add you cannot mess up it fixes everything you do I tried and tried to injur the finger and it didn’t work
  23. [R82] 1/5 · US One star⚠️⚠️‼️‼️: Read this ,this game is not like the ad at all it is so bad so many glitches and bugs this is so bad!!!!!!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
  24. [R234] 3/5 · AU Good but there are some problems: I love this game so much, it’s one of my favourites but the thing is it’s really glitchy some times, and it never used to be. So adding on to that I was going to play this game a few minutes ago but it kept crashing, the adds and the game was lagging though I had good internet. Secondly, There are lots of adds which makes it hard to play the game. That’s pretty
  25. [R4] 4/5 · US Good but pls less adds: I love this game I was playing this on my friends iPad I loved it she did not have adds but when I bought it there is like so much adds but can you also pls take the blood out it is rlly gross 🤮 ty for making it but neeeds some changes
  26. [R44] 1/5 · US Violence: It’s game for children. but when comes a customers who calls the nail salon the worst, the game litterally makes you cut their males to blood so they’ll say it’s painful. Seriously?
  27. [R59] 2/5 · US Kinda gross: This game is ok until you get to do gross nail stuff 😕I rate 2 stars
  28. [R79] 4/5 · US Please read before downloading: I like the game a lot but there are SO MANY ADS so many stinking ads and I don’t think there should be mean people they say “I’m going to tell everyone not to come here” and “I’ll burn down your place” and you can cut off their entire finger nail but I love the game the nails are so fun to do and pretty just please less ads. Peace🦅🦅🦅
  29. [R24] 4/5 · US Fun but needs less lags: It's fun but there's WAY too many adds and it would definitely be better if it didn't lag as much 4 stars
