Nails DIY: Manicure Master

Nails DIY: Manicure Master is made by WeLoPlay and sits in Poki's beauty games. It is a dress-up game with one subject: a set of nails, done from start to finish. You begin by picking a style for the set. Poki names cute, ocean-inspired and bright styles among the options, and the choice sets the mood for everything that follows.

Next come the nails themselves. You choose the shape and the length, then move on to polish. Polish comes as solid colours, gradients and special effects, and you apply it by holding and dragging across the nail. When the colour is on, stickers can go on top. The job is only done when every finger is finished, so a set usually means working through the whole hand one nail at a time rather than painting one and stopping. There is no timer on any of these steps in Poki's description, so it is fine to try a colour, look at it against the others and change it before moving to the next nail.

The last steps are a ring and a photo. You choose a ring for the hand and then take a photo of the result, which closes the round. Controls are the same on every device: tap or click to pick a polish or a sticker, hold and drag to paint. The game was released in July 2024 and was last updated on Poki in January 2026.

• Decide on the style before touching any polish. Cute, ocean-inspired and bright each point to a different set of colours, and changing direction halfway through shows in the photo.
• Settle shape and length first, so you judge the colours on the outline they will actually have.
• Try a gradient or a special effect on one accent nail and keep the others solid. The set reads more clearly in the final photo.
• Add stickers after the polish; they sit on top of the colour, and a busy base makes them hard to see.
• Choose the ring with the whole hand in view. It is the last decision before the photo, so it can tie the colours together.

Players who like picking colours, patterns and small details, and younger players who want something relaxed with simple tap-and-drag controls. It also works as a short, low-effort break: one set, one photo, done.

Drawbacks, in small print

• Poki is ad-supported, so an ad may appear before the game starts or between sessions.
• The game is about styling rather than goals. Anyone looking for a challenge or something to beat may find it thin.
• Painting by dragging on a small phone screen may feel less precise than with a mouse.

• Prismo Coloring — Also about choosing colours and filling shapes, on illustrations instead of nails.

Is Nails DIY: Manicure Master free?

Yes. It is free on Poki, and no sign-up is needed to play.

How is the polish applied?

Tap or click to pick a polish, then hold and drag across the nail to paint it.

What happens at the end of a manicure?

Once every finger is finished, you choose a ring and take a photo of the result inside the game. The photo is the end of the round; starting again means picking a new style.
