Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Polished Mani at none against Lacquergram's 4. Polished Mani also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Lacquergram's advantage is ratings volume (206 vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
