The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report that ads appear after nearly every action, significantly detracting from the overall experience, and some have noted that the game feels like a cash grab due to the push for in-app purchases to remove ads. While some users have found a workaround by turning off their internet connection to avoid ads, the general consensus is that the ad frequency is excessive and needs to be addressed for a more enjoyable gaming experience.
“This is such a great game; there are almost no ads, and by doing new styles, you collect a lot of new things to decorate your nails.”
“Great game, reasonably priced in-app purchases.”
“I love this game; it's like the best game ever—no ads, so cool! You get to have a choice of two things to match to do freestyle, plus it's so fun for girls who love to do nail art.”
“Just disappointing to see that my favorite childhood game basically has just become a cash grab.”
“Far too many adverts..... 6 advert pop ups before even getting into the game... slows all interactivity for the kids and far too intrusive... then the notification pops up that ads are removed when an in-app purchase is made...so basically spend money or the game is spammed with ads.... easier option....delete app and find another one.”
“The constant ads to buy in-app purchases is ridiculous and annoying!”

The reviews highlight a mix of experiences with the game's story elements, ranging from personal narratives about gameplay changes to darker interpretations of characters like Hello Kitty, which some users describe as having a tragic and sinister backstory. While players appreciate the missions and creative aspects of the game, there are frustrations regarding the saving of progress and the overall coherence of the story.
“I love this game! It also has missions, and you can make your own nails. 😍”
“I know Hello Kitty's origin story: she has no mouth for a reason. There was a mother whose child had mouth problems. She tried everything to fix her, but there was no hope. In desperation, she made a promise to the devil, who would fix her child's mouth. When the child finally had a mouth, she turned evil. That's why Hello Kitty has no mouth.”
“Hello Kitty is a demonic doll. Here's the story: there's a lady in China whose daughter had mouth cancer, and she prayed for her daughter to get better.”
“I really want to rate this app 5 stars, but I can't. Going back to the first time I got this app, we could go in and do the design, and there was freestyle too. I obviously went to freestyle. After I played for a while, I closed the game. Months later, I played the game again, but something wasn't right; I couldn't go in freestyle anymore! That's the story of how it changed for me, but it possibly could have been updated. Tell me your opinion, please.”
“I helped her finish some of the quests for her, and it didn't save our nails or the progress of the quests.”
