Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: D'Nails at 100% against Makeup Studio's 38%. D'Nails also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Makeup Studio's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. D'Nails sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Makeup Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
D'Nails holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup Studio has 2.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of D'Nails's written reviews are positive against 38% of Makeup Studio's.
D'Nails ships an update every 8 months, Makeup Studio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
