Nail games online put a hand or a foot in front of you and let you shape, polish and decorate the nails.

| Pedicure games | Care for the feet, then paint the toenails | Pedicure Nail Salon |

| Nail runners | Collect nails along a track | Nail Stack Run Challenge |
Nail salon and nail art games
The standard nail game: a customer's hand, a row of polishes and a tray of decorations.
- Nail Salon 3D fills your salon with customers who all want the right nail shape. You color the nails and apply glittery, glossy patterns.
- Fashion Makeup Nail Salon lets you design nails freely: try different skin colors, nail shapes and nail sizes, then add patterns, stickers and jewels that can be resized. When the nails are done you pick a picture as the background.
- Nail Salon Manicure - Fashion Girl starts with the hand: choose its color tone and the nail shape you want, then paint the five fingers in different colors and add rings and sparkling gems.
- Girls Nail Art Salon works by tapping: on a desktop you click to attach accessories to the nails, and on a phone you tap them on with a finger.
- All Seasons Nail Salon has you choose the shape, paint and polish, then pick accessories and tattoos. It plays with the left mouse button.
- Fashion Nail Salon - Manicure Game puts you in the role of a nail designer who makes colorful, patterned nails.
- My Nail Makeover has you carry out every step of a manicure in your own beauty salon.
Pedicure games
Feet get their own games, with a care step before the polish.
- Pedicure Nail Salon starts with foot care: clean the feet and give them a deep care, then choose a polish color. You can mix several colors or use a floral pattern.
- BFFs Beach Pedicure has you give friends a beach pedicure from a range of nail colors, patterns and cute accessories, then pick outfits from their wardrobe to match.
- Nail Art Fashion Salon calls itself a manicure and pedicure game, with brushes, many colors, stickers, rings, tattoos, patterns and rhinestones.
Holiday nail designers
These are nail salon games with a holiday theme, from Valentine's Day to Christmas.
- Valentine Nail Salon puts you in charge of a nail salon on Valentine's Day. Pick the length and shape, then paint a sweet, romantic manicure: a French manicure or a classic one, in one color or several.
- Easter Nails Designer 2 starts by making your own nail polish. Then you trim customers' nails to a good shape, apply the polish and add stickers and shiny diamonds.
- Christmas Nail Salon has you design nail art for the clients who come into the salon.
- Glow Halloween Nails is a glow-in-the-dark manicure: choose a skin color, shine the nails, clip them to the length you like, then polish and decorate them with glowing designs.
Nail runners
In a few games the nails are the thing you collect.
- Nail Stack Run Challenge has you collect nails and decorate them with polish, designs and acrylic nails while you avoid obstacles such as nail-biting saws.
- Nail Stack is a 3D collecting arcade game: you collect white nails to make the final length of your finger longer. There are also colorful brushes and decoration steps, and the description says there is no punishment mechanism. Slide the screen to move.
More runners are in the running games collection.
Tips for nail games
- Set the shape and length first. Valentine Nail Salon and Glow Halloween Nails both have you pick or clip the nail length before the polish, and Easter Nails Designer 2 trims the nails to shape before it applies the polish.
- Read what the customer wants. In Valentine Nail Salon the client wants a manicure for Valentine's Day, and in Nail Salon 3D every customer is looking for the right shape.
- Change one thing at a time. Fashion Makeup Nail Salon lets you try skin colors, nail shapes and nail sizes one by one, so you can see what each change does.
- Match the polish to the theme. Glow Halloween Nails talks about polish that matches a costume, and Valentine Nail Salon asks for a sweet, romantic manicure.
- In Nail Stack missing a nail costs nothing, according to its description, but it still recommends going for the colorful ones.
