Sorry, I thought it was an ant. It's a mole.
I almost flicked it off!
(Estee) You don't talk to me about mole okay.
[LOL]
- (PD) Hi guys! - Hello! Hi!
(PD) Do you guys know what you are in for today?
Oh my god.
This cast, this combination plus the background...
- What? - So what is it?
Is it a revival of the worst episode of Singaporeans Try ever?
Last time, we did this length.
I think today we do like that.
Imagine if we had to do our toes!
I feel like today's episode might be our revenge, you know?
I got a little feeling we will be on the giving end instead.
Revenge? That means we put for (other) people?
- I put on you lah. - Hahahaha.
That one is your revenge only, you know?
Actually you are the one who should be revenging...
- He pangseh (abandon) you what! - Oh ya!
- Ya! - He pangseh you!
- I do your toe nail, I tell you! - You late!
[Flashback to when Hafeez removed his nails without Bolin]
(Hafeez) Why? Why you angry?
- (Hafeez) Eh? - Bloody hell!
(Hafeez) Eh? What happened?
Did you pay attention when the nail artist did your nails for the previous challenge?
Am I supposed to pay attention?
Were we supposed to pay attention?
Honestly, I was just angry most of the time.
Because this bish decided to put dangling things on my nails.
To answer your question, no, we did not pay attention at all.
No, actually, I paid attention to the initial part
where they buff and then cut your cuticles.
You watch them bathe?
Buff! What the hell...
(PD) In today's episode of Singaporeans Try, you guys will be attempting to do nails professionally!
- Full package ah? - Oh, professionally ah?
Wait, what do you mean...
That means we help them clean, extend and draw?
(PD) No extensions but there is drawing.
-Oh, okay okay. -No extensions, aiya.
(PD) Do you have steady hands?
Oh my god, I think you have the biggest fingers out of all (of us).
I think you...
Actually, harder right?
- Because they are so delicate, - Ya, harder.
Girls fingernails are so small.
Whoever kena (gets) me, good luck to you!
Do you have steady fingers, Jes?
- I think... _ This video is not paused.
I mean, I am pretty good with my hands but I don't know whether I have steady hands or not.
The only part where I'm very comfortable or confident in
is when she puts the lotion and then massages the hand.
I can massage your hand, very nice.
Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a nail artist.
I have been doing this for about five year now.
Currently, I am working at Oh My Chinggu.
We are a nail supply store that brings in Korean gels.
We bring in various brands and we supply them to not only nail salons
nail technicians who work from home, but we also open up for people who like to DIY.
Today, they will be learning freehand drawing so we will teach them tips and tricks.
Using tools like dotting tools, liner brushes
or how to use the gel straight away from the pot.
The rest is for you to find out!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how are you art skills?
Every week before go office, we need to do ART test so...
I think it's not bad ah.
Not bad ah not bad.
(Fauzi) Lame!
4 out of 10.
8 out of 10.
6 to 7 out of 10.
Wow, quite confident ah.
Actually, mine is also about 6 la.
- (Jes) Don't copy me leh! (Fauzi) Not bad, all of them think that they have very good art skills.
Today, we will do something like this.
Ya, we won't do something too challenging for y'all unless y'all are asking for a challenge.
Which one is challenging in your opinion?
Out of here, (the) rainbow.
Oh, rainbow is the most difficult.
- Take your nail file. - (Fauzi) Okay.
And then we are going to lightly buff the tip.
If you notice your tip, some of them are protruding out a little.
What we wanna do is make it smooth before we paint.
So lightly drag your file just across.
[Lightly buffing]
[How to not buff nails]
[Lightly buffing]
Yeah...
Oh!
Sorry, your nail came out.
You want to buff the (entire) finger or what?
- (Hafeez) Aggressive sia you! - (Jes) Ya sia.
This is my lightest strength already leh.
What do you have to do with this?
This one...
[Nail attempts to escape Bolin]
The nail come out!
Like that! Then...
[Nail attempts to escape again]
(Bolin) You'll be fine ah, whoever...
You'll be fine!
Grab the nude colours.
It's time to paint?
- Yeah! - So fast?
Sweep it against the neck of the bottle.
So you paint with the side that you've been...
You swabbed? Sweeped? Sweeped off.
Is it?
Swept.
Now you have one side that has gel and one side that doesn't.
The one that has, face (it) down.
You start from the center and pull down.
Which side to use?
The side with paint, is it?
{fly buzzing]
(PD) Why must your mouth be open when you paint?
This means I'm focused.
- (PD) I see, I see. - Yeah.
(Sarah) Top down.
(Sarah) Top down, drag down.
Like this ah? Then after that...
(Bolin) 'Cher, like that okay or not?
I don't like to respond to 'cher (short form of teacher).
(Bolin) Oh, then what you...
(Bolin) Teacher!
Wait.
[Hafeez the witch]
Is this okay or do I need to put more?
(Sarah) I think it's okay.
Oh my god! I finally passed in life!
Who's gonna be the lucky person?
[claps like a seal]
Okay la, for this one still not bad.
Yeah, sure.
I feel like a good student.
[sad noises]
I'm tired already.
We barely even started!
Why are you like this?
(PD) The phone under your table?
Oh. Sorry sorry teacher.
I feel like a good student.
We are doing the flower first.
Start from the front and drag down.
Okay the next thing you are gonna use is called a dotting tool.
Dotting tool has two sides.
You can take the one which has a bigger ball.
It's a grape! Hahahaha.
This is not easy.
Y'all really confident that y'all want me to do your nails? Sure or not?
I'll pay you money to just go home. How about that?
Eh, like aunty sia the design!
Why I do until like... ugly ah.
Liner brush is something we use to draw thin lines.
Place it right in the middle of the dot.
Just drag (it) down towards the center.
So instead of a blob, now you have a teardrop.
♫ Teardrops on my Guitar - Bolin Swift ♫
You mei you (have or not)?
(PD) Wow Bolin!
You mei you (have or not)?
Whoever kena (gets chosen) later, can la hor?
Jagged is a style la.
Now, the time has come for the honour of representing TSL in the 74th annual hunger games.
(PD) So it seems like both of you will have to sacrifice your nails.
Sacrifice is a strong word.
- It's a very hurtful word. - Yes!
- I'm suddenly very scared! - Relax man, relax.
Wah, this one is real finger. I very scared!
[Focusing on Bolin's face]
Eh!
You must focus here (the nails) la.
I'm scared because every time (other) people do mine, I pain.
(Estee) Ah!
You (quack)!
Hello!
(PD) Estee, what do you think? Now Bolin gets to hold your hand.
This is purely professional okay?
Wah, disgusting sia. I didn't need to hear that.
All I care about right now is to make sure the finger is intact.
Wow, standing up already ah.
- I cannot, the level like... - Getting serious.
You haven't even do the base coat?
You just started only, right?
You (just) started only la! Don't scare me.
Okay, this is the the...
[Brain: Loading]
[Crickets]
Base coat?
Teacher ah, teacher?
Teacher...
This is the base coat, right?
- (Sarah) Ya. - Okay, okay.
Bolin, you want to pangsai (poop) ah?
This is harder than pooping.
Wait. I'll clean later!
I'll clean later!
Okay, I'll clean. Wait wait wait.
Cannot waste (the nail polish) la.
(PD) They are curing already.
Fast doesn't mean good. Understand or not?
[Pray for Estee]
(Bolin) You... must have confidence, okay?
I think next time, you should just dip your finger then clean the excess off.
Isn't it easier?
(Fikah) Wow, you're very gentle with the hands.
I'm very gentle with girls.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
If my girlfriend is watching...
(Fikah) Censor my face, censor my face.
(Jes) Put her face.
(Fikah) You're holding my finger a bit tighter now.
Ya, I don't want you to move, b****.
Can call my customer b**** or not?
Can can.
Blow it yourself, please.
(Fikah) Her face quite cute with the tongue sticking out.
I have my first 5 star review, you know?
Out of 100 stars.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Please comment down below if you want me to paint your nails, okay?
Sekali (what if) no comment.
Okay, let me explain quickly.
This is called flying ghost with blue birds.
This is... what ah? They said BTS?
No, actually this is called ice cream sandwich.
The ice cream is in the middle. The bread is yam bread.
Strawberry flavoured flower.
It's just the normal sandwich, there's no yam flavour, but I put it vertically.
Ice cream. No sandwich, just ice cream.
Why you talk so much?
I would like to apologise and I will send you full refund.
(PD) Are you guys confident?
- Ah... - Honestly...
No.
For me, not too bad because
from there, the only way is up so...
Wah, how come your index fingernail (is) long compared to the others?
Is it a thing?
Is it prosperous?
Why is this short?
You bite ah?
(Fikah) No!
- Don't bite your fingenails! - (Fikah) I don't bite my fingernails!
Ah, 3 in 1.
Okay, that's all. Thanks for coming.
Do we have to put the base coat?
(Annoyed) Yes.
Okay la, I ask only what. So angry.
[Wiping non-existent sweat]
Hard work.
There are many things in life I can do, one of which is not paint nails.
Is that something I should tell my customer?
More efficiency.
Shining shoe ah.
After this, you will have clean knuckles too.
Forgot to ask you, what kind of designs would you like?
Can.
- (Estee) Easy ah? - (Hafeez) Can be done.
(Estee) Eyes and smiley face.
(Hafeez) Can.
When I do it on myself, I feel more confident.
When doing it on other people, cannot sia.
(Fikah) Is it because when you do it on yourself, you're okay with making mistakes?
Yeah.
Okay, let me tell you I am okay with mistakes.
I'm fine. You know we are human?
It's fine.
Do you feel more reassured right now?
(Fauzi) No.
Okay.
Have you ever seen a nail salon run by two Malay boys?
Wow! What a cute little rainbow.
Very, um...
LGBTQIA+.
Sorry, I thought it was an ant. It's a mole.
I almost flicked it off!
Sorry.
(Estee) You don't talk to me about mole okay.
[LOL]
(Hafeez) I'm gonna **** up your fingers!
This (hand massage) will not increase your rank.
(Fauzi) I'm just helping her get softer hands!
(Fauzi) You don't want?
(Fauzi) You want to get my soft hands or not?
Suddenly I feel like a new woman.
(Fauzi) Wow. That's like the first time a lady has ever said that to me.
Okay, so now that we're done with our masterpieces
we're going to let our lovely teachers
rank our work from 1st to 4th.
I already stand by (for) 4th already.
This is the 4th.
(PD) Bolin.
Putting it nicely, it's very abstract.
Putting it not nicely, I think my nieces could have done better.
Why? Is she the Simon Cowell of nails?
Basically, you can see from his technique. It's really bumpy.
No effort in correction was made.
A lot of effort went into trying to mask the disaster zones.
But well, for 30 minutes of learning, it's not bad la.
Okay, hafeez has art talent.
You can tell he at least has a bit of art sense.
He tried his best but ignored directions.
You can tell that he put a lot of effort because
he actually tried to follow her direction for the request for rainbows.
Solid colour wise, I think can be improved.
But again, for first timer it's okay la.
It's not bad.
You know when you said that white looks so much better
and I actually agreed with you, right?
Um...
Can I take that back?
This is like those things with massage points that people step on.
Very good to touch when stressed.
I really wish that he had painted like... not on your fingers.
Plus point I can give you is that you massaged her hands.
Yes!
Got plus points one ah?
Estee! Come, we massage.
Faster! Come come!
(Sarah) No amount of massage can save whatever you did, I'm sorry.
The proudest one.
- Wow! - Favourite child!
You (can) see the difference between this and the rest.
Actually, there was an effort made to try not to touch the cuticles.
Consistency and effort was made.
- Oh my god, so nice! - Okay, we have the obvious winner here.
Yay!
(Sarah) Ranking?
It's a close (tie) between the two of y'all.
(Sarah) But we have very clearly the 1st and the last in the correct place.
(Sarah) Overall, all not bad for 30 minutes.
I only recommend y'all never paint your partner's nails.
This video is very good.
'Cause it will turn them off forever.
You roasted me as hard as the past 5 years has roasted me.
(PD) How was the challenge?
Honestly, it just goes to show that nail artistry is not my career of choice. (PD) How was the challenge?
Honestly, it just goes to show that nail artistry is not my career of choice.
I'll leave it to the professionals.
I'll let them paint my nails.
I'll pay them money to do it.
Don't pay me money to do anything for you.
Basically, what he said just now is the same for me.
Dude, I will pay you money not to paint my nails.
Wait, that's a business!
You pay me now.
You go around chasing people.
You want or not?
I don't always do this, you know.
Maybe every 10 years, I do it once.
So Estee, remember. Don't go and clean it.
It's like the NFT like that.
Scarcity. Understand or not?
Ugly never mind, expensive can already.
So you're saying that your artwork is expensive.
- I mean it's my... - According to who?
Which art gallery?
Don't take out! I will take a photo and upload as NFT.
I tell you!
But I gotta give it to the artists
because it takes a lot of effort and focus.
I was drained after the 45 minutes.
Honestly, making one dot was already a struggle.
- Ya, ya. - My hand was like that.
Why would I?
Maybe on a giant's nail.
- Oh no. - Big enough for me to draw.
Oh! Giant is like that ah?
- Real giant's nail. - Like an iPad?
No, I think I would do it on myself. I think I learnt techniques for my own nails, you know what I mean?
I think before we end the episode, we would like to thank the hand models.
For sacrificing their hands and dignity to let us paint on them.
Actually, why don't we get the girls in this...
you guys, to paint our nails?
It's okay la, it's okay.
- We outro now. - Outro! Outro!
