FAQ'S

Manicure Roulette is a card-based decision tool created for professional nail techs to use with their clients.

It’s designed for those moments when a client can’t decide what they want - or says the classic: "I don’t know… you decide."

The cards are organised into themed decks such as Art Theme, Colour Palette, Nail Shape, Finish, Detail, Foundation, Nail Formula and more. The deck names will depend on the system you choose.

Simply shuffle the decks, draw as many cards as you like, and use the result as the inspiration for your nail look.

Many nail techs use Manicure Roulette during consultations - when a client isn’t sure what they want.

You can shuffle the decks and draw cards yourself, or invite your client to draw them.

Not at all.

Manicure Roulette isn’t about advanced nail art skills - it’s about helping you make manicure decisions faster and provide original creativity.

You can keep the results simple or take them in a more artistic direction.

Yes.

Many nail techs use Manicure Roulette purely to help decide things like shape, colour combinations or simple design details.

You can adapt the cards to suit the services you offer.

No - expansion packs can be used on their own.

However, we recommend starting with one of the starter systems, as they offer the best value per card and provide a more complete decision-making setup.

Expansion packs are designed to build on the Manicure Roulette concept by introducing new themes, creative directions and design ideas.

Yes.

Many nail techs invite clients to draw cards during consultations. It’s a fun way to involve them in the design process while still keeping appointments efficient.

Of course.

The cards are designed as a starting point for creativity, not strict rules. You can follow them exactly or use them as inspiration for your own design direction.
