Polishpop

Polishpop is a nail art game: paint a customer’s nail with the colour you pick, add a cute sticker, and earn salon money and a rating for every finished nail.

How to play

1. Press the pink play button in the salon. Day 1 starts with a big nail on screen.
2. Paint: tap a polish bottle at the bottom, then drag across the nail to cover it.
3. Move on: tap the green tick to go to the sticker step.
4. Decorate: pick a sticker from the bar, place it on the nail and use the size buttons to make it bigger or smaller.
5. Finish: tap the tick again. The customer rates the nail, you earn money and Next Day brings the next customer.

What you see on screen

• Top bar: a restart button, the day number and your money.
• The nail: a large finger in the middle of the screen.
• Bottom bar: polish bottles while painting, stickers while decorating.
• Side buttons: the green tick on the left and tool buttons on the right.
• Rating card: a word of praise, the money you earned and the Next Day button.

Tips

• Add a sticker for the ratings. In our test a painted nail with a sticker averaged 26 of 30 rating points, against about 22 without one.
• Do not chase the money with effort alone. The pay for one nail ranged from $53 to $79 and did not follow how much we painted.
• Find the sticker button. After painting, the green tick goes straight to the rating; the blue button on the right opens the stickers first.
• Read our nail art game tips for the numbers behind these tips.
