The guide

Overview

The hippo fashion star has opened the best nail salon in the city, where the most talented manicurists work. Her nail salon has become a favorite fashion center for all animals. Let's learn to make manicures with Hippo today. Choose from nice nail polishes and stickers for the critters, and we can even make henna tattoos for them. Let's start.

Fashion shows, salons, kitchens and bedrooms are the usual settings. The games inside them are gentle and open. A session often starts with a character who needs a look or a dish, moves through a series of choices, and ends with a reveal. Some include small mini-games, like washing hair or stirring a pot, that break up the choosing with a bit of hands-on tapping.

How to play

1Select your character or task from the opening screen, then look for the panel of options along the edge of the play area.
2Tap items to apply them. Swipe or use arrows to scroll through more choices in each category.
3Complete any mini-game prompts, such as dragging a brush or tapping a timer, to move to the next stage.
4At the end, look for a camera, heart or star to save or rate your creation before starting a new one.
