Lana, simply referred to as 'Nail Lady'—a nickname she despises—has been running her salon in Dress To Impress, which has been a popular runway agency for the past five years. She debuted when the game was first released. In the April 20th, 2024 update, she eventually got replaced by her doppelgänger.
Appearance[]
The real Lana has a light skin tone, brown almond-shaped eyes, and thick, slightly wavy brown hair styled in her signature messy bun, with a few loose strands framing her face. Her outfit is minimalist, featuring a white turtleneck, a white mini skirt, and white high-heel pumps.
Lana's doppelganger shares a similar style but with subtle differences. She wears a white turtleneck like Lana's, but pairs it with white skinny jeans. She accessories with a grey belt that has a white buckle embossed with the letter 'K.' Despite being a nail artist, her nails are plain white, adding to her minimalist look. The real Lana has very light grey nails.
After the August 11, 2024 update, Lana was wearing bright green eye shadow, a nod to BRAT collaboration released on August 17. In the official video accompanying the announcement, Lana is one of the models strutting the new BRAT-themed runway. Following the collaboration’s release, her nails and nail filer were recolored bright green, with the filer now featuring the newly-added green sparkle pattern to match the BRAT aesthetic.
History[]
Forest[]
"Forest" is the first game that players can use to explore deeper into Lana's disappearance. Entering into the game begins a pathway towards a bigger sunflower maze, with Lana doppelgangers impacting the way.
Along the path, there are small sentences that reveal parts of, what can be implied to be, Lana's history. In summary, there was a girl that was diagnosed with a terminal illness, leading to the financial decline of her family and friends. Reaching to the end of this path brings players into a portal for the sunflower maze; turning right would reveal a grave with Lana's name engraved into it.
To get through the maze, players will need to follow the paintings and the sunflowers within its path. However, there are more Lana doppelgangers that will interfere with this process; it is advised to hide in bushes along the corners of the maze. After reaching the end, there is a script of code that reads:

Fired[]
In the August 30th update, Lana disappeared. Her chair had fallen over, and her desk was surrounded with moving boxes. Lana's Salon Was also renamed to "Salon Salon". The shelf in her salon is walk-through and leads to a basement with 2 jail cells, one labeled "Lana #001" and the other labelled "Lana #002". Lana's diary can be found on a drawer on the left side of the room, with the text "Are you hearing me? All the previous journal entries are deceptions. Please trust me. -L" The other page has the number 7198329488: a UserID which leads to the LinaDoesNails account.
Lina's description is "I've always wanted to work for them -- yet she was in my way. When she suddenly disappeared one day, I asked to fill in the gaps she had left behind her... of course, a salon can't function without the owner. I have a feeling everything I've worked for is just temporary."
The Lana clones around the map have disappeared.
On September 2nd, Lina was added to the game and replaced Lana as the nail tech.
September 28 2024[]
On September 28th, all traces of Lana have disappeared including the jail cell Lana was in at the secret room. On the walls the original text was not there anymore and there was a new message that said "STAY IN SCHOOL <3". In this room you can finally go into the neon yellow door which in the last update you could not and inside was a blue secret room. This was due to parent complains about the lore being too "scary" for kids.
A few days later Lana's family was leaked on a YouTube video about future updates on callmehaley's channel.
Halloween Quest[]
Chapter 1[]
If at least one player succeeds in finding the house, a cutscene launches in which a young Lana says, "Soon... In due time my... is his. Am I even me anymore? I took it. It's too late now. Now I'm leaving my home and my parents for who knows how long. I wonder if I'll ever be free again... He poisoned me, and I'm no longer well. I'm too drained to even pack the few essential items I do own. I wish someone could help me retrieve them... I still need to pack my teddy bear, camera, journal, nail file, Greek tales book, and palette. Could you help me find them and bring them back to me please?" In this cutscene and the quest that follows, Lana can be seen wearing a pink shirt with a white collar and sleeves, black flared jeans, and white sneakers as opposed to her usual white top and skirt.
When all of Lana's items have been collected, another cutscene will play of young Lana leaving with her suitcase and boarding a van. During the cutscene, she says, "It's time now... I wonder if I'll be safe there, or if he'll follow me. You [will] see soon enough. You're in my past, you must follow me into my future. Only then will you begin to understand." After this, the chapter ends and players return to the lobby.
Chapter 3[]
The next scene shows Lina, doppelgänger Lana, and the real Lana crying in her cage while "Temptation" by BSlick and Billy Martin featuring Annapantsu plays. Two hands wrap around the player's face, one white with elongated fingers and the other a human hand with red nails. Lina rises into the air, her fingers grow longer, she grows black tentacles, her skin turns white, and black streaks appear under her white eyes. She also dons a black dress that seems to be part of her tentacles.
How to defeat Lina[]
There are seven stages to defeat Lina. First, players must grab a scythe from the arena's entrance and destroy Lana's doppelgängers, which spawn out of two red portals in the middle of the arena. Second, rocks rise out of the ground and players must climb on top of one of these to avoid getting harmed by the black liquid that fills the arena. Third, rocks will shoot out from the stage and players must stay out of their paths. Fourth, spikes will rise up out of the ground. Fifth, Lina will come down from the stage and target a player. It is difficult to outrun her, as she moves as fast or faster than a player, and she is invincible during this time. Sixth, Lina will go to the center of the arena and emit circular waves that can harm players. After this, she will become vulnerable and players may hit her with their scythes to defeat her. If not, the cycle repeats until either the player dies or Lina gets defeated. A final cutscene plays upon her defeat:
Final Chapter Ending[]
Lina: NOOO- PLEASE, AGAMEMNON FORGIVE MY WEAKNESS! I- I PROMISE I CAN BE USEFUL. YOU NEED ME. I NEED YOU. PLEASE... (She falls to the ground.)
Lana: (Lana's cage dissolves in golden light.) Y-you did it. Am I finally free?! For the first time in years, I feel whole again. I can't even begin to thank you enough for saving me! Free mani-pedis on me! But after I take a vacation, because I DEFINITELY need one.
(Lana is shown relaxing on the beach. The scene cuts to her room, where she is lying on her bed facing the wall. A dark cloud hovers in the corner.)
Agamemnon: What? You didn't think this was the end of our little story did you?... No, no. It's not over, until I say it's over. Not even the almighty gods of Olympus can stop what is to come... My dear Lana, we shall meet each other soon enough. With Love - Agamemnon.
When the quest is finished, Lana will be working at the Salon for those who complete it. (If you don't complete the quest, Lina will remain there.)
Trivia[]
- You can get Lana back as a nail tech if you finish all 3 parts of the Halloween quest of 2024.
- Lana's birthday is assumed to be April 16th. It is unclear whether she was 17 or 18 years old in 2013, as she indicated that she's "almost an adult now".
- Based on this, Lana's current age is around 28.
