Beautiful Starry Sky Nail 2

Only one hand fills the screen when the game opens, fingers spread and nails completely bare. The first step is almost always a base coat, and picking a dark navy or deep purple instead of a pale shade changes how every decal on top of it reads later.

Tools sit in rows below the hand: solid polish colors, a scattering of glitter finishes, tiny star and moon decals, and a couple of gradient options that blend two shades into one nail. Decals can be dragged onto individual nails one at a time, so a thumb might get a full moon while the others get scattered stars, and layering glitter over a finished color is allowed without wiping the base away.

Working nail by nail instead of copying one pattern across the whole hand puts this ahead of typical nail decorating games, since each finger can carry its own combination of base, decal, and glitter. A finished set ends with all ten nails filled in and shown together in a close-up shot, with an option to start fresh on a second hand if the first set isn't right.

Painting the base coat dark before adding decals means the stars and moons actually show up, since pale polish washes out white decals almost completely. Working the thumb and pinky as accent nails instead of matching all ten keeps the glitter from overwhelming the whole hand. Blending two colors on just the ring finger, rather than every nail, gives the set a focal point instead of ten competing patterns.
