- We're gonna learn to work with these nails,
so that maybe if I like them,
we can keep them on for a long time!
(pounding)
(screaming)
(upbeat music)
- Hey everybody, I'm Kelsey!
I love to play video games, but I also have
always really liked fashion and looking nice.
A lot of the time, the two go pretty well together,
but one place that it really doesn't, are my nails.
- Hi my name is Drew. - I'm Jeff.
- I'm Jared and today we're getting acrylic nails
for the very first time.
- So over the weekend I'm going to present all of these boys
with different challenges, just to see how well they can
rock their nails, and if they're truly gonna nail it.
I think it's gonna be very funny for me,
but also probably pretty inconvenient,
and a big learning curve for them.
- I just slammed one of my nails off in the door!
- I am a gamer, I do game.
I have gamed, I build my own gaming PC.
Proud owner of a Game Cube.
- I'm a total console gamer.
I stick mainly to Xbox,
but depending on what game cause I'm a big superhero guy,
if you're going with Spider-Man I would say PS4.
- I've been a console gamer growing up,
but in my adult life, I've really embraced the PC lifestyle.
And I've heard that it's the typing on a keyboard
that is the difficult thing about having acrylic nails.
- One of the things I'm most worried about,
I was telling people, oh yeah I gotta get nails on,
and then the girl came up to me, she was like,
"How are you gonna wipe your butt?"
And I was like, what do you mean?
- I want them to go absolutely all out.
Give me bells and whistles,
literally if there's attachments, I want those.
The likenesses of the cast of, "How I Met Your Mother,"
or something, that'd be cool.
- Well enough talking, let's get
these nails on our damn hands.
Nails!
(rock music)
- Nail Boys!
- It's your first time in getting acrylic?
- It is my first time getting acrylic.
- Oh, how exciting.
- I already feel like a superhero, look at these.
- So what is this powder liquid thing?
- So basically, after we put the tip on,
we have to add this acrylic on to seal up the tip
so that it can be strong enough
for you to last a good two, three week.
Otherwise, the tip will break off right away.
- Oh so that's what makes it heavy.
This is the big things we're talking about.
- Yep. - Oh boy.
- This four year old's birthday party
that I'm going to tomorrow, is about to be lit.
- This feels wrong, am I, okay?
Wait, hold on, okay.
Yeah, okay good, we're good.
- How'd you hold it?
Ah see I just went like that.
(laughing)
- I guess you could just man handle the top, too.
- I see straws in our future.
- Oh my God she's beautiful.
I don't wanna like, jump the gun but I think
my nails are gonna be the prettiest.
- You can go for prettiest, I'm going for dopiest.
You can't have like black nails with red
and be pretty, I can't be pretty.
- I'm going for loud, I'm just going for loudest.
You know what I mean?
- We can be the best in our own categories.
- Yeah absolutely!
- We're all winning today.
- Yeah, truly.
- Who knew that nails would be such a bonding experience?
I mean, me, I hoped it would be.
And I'm glad that I was right.
- I could've just did Black Panther.
What am I thinking?
Black Panther has nails like this, what am I doing?
Stu- oh God.
- Are you trying to get your phone out of your pocket?
- Yeah.
- Good luck! - Thank you so much.
I got time.
- Let me help you.
- Oh for real?
Thank you so much.
So how do they do this before drills?
Or did they do this before drills?
- They actually use hand file?
- Really? - Just the whole time?
- The whole time. (laughs)
- I would've been like, no way!
Honestly, I feel fabulous, I knew I would like these.
I didn't know I would like these this much.
I already almost dropped my phone maybe five times.
This is horrible, I'm trying to text Devon.
- I am so excited for these.
Gorgeous might not be the word I'm using,
but I'm excited to show these off around the office,
and we're gonna see how that goes, and we'll game!
- I'm not feeling too bad.
I honestly thought it'd be way worse.
I didn't get too long of nails,
so it's just like an extended inch.
I got Spider-Man, so it's pretty dope.
I'm wearing a Spider-Man shirt, so it all fits.
So when I go out this weekend, I'm gonna let 'em know.
I'm rocking Miles Morales.
(mysterious music)
- Hey guys, thank you so much for going above
and beyond what I challenged you guys to do.
I was thinking you'd get something
more close to my length of nail
but you really went the distance so, mad props!
The first thing I'd like you to do
is try to open a can.
- [Jared] It's too, do you see how it like
hits the edge of the can?
I cannot get this side of my - ow!
- [Female] Turn your finger more flat way, yeah.
And like--
- [Jared] And with what leverage?
- [Female] I don't know.
- Okay, oh no!
(painful screeches) - Oh no Jared, oh my god!
- It feels bad.
(laughs)
(keys rustling)
(beep)
(can cracking) (dinging)
- Ta da!
- What if I do it on an ID badge?
They're also for service.
- [Female] You're gonna break your ID badge.
And ah you did it!
- Look at this!
(can cracking) (dinging)
- There we go!
No broken nail, opened up.
- Oh my God you guys, no!
No, okay, it hasn't even been like a couple of hours,
also oh my god, I can't stop doing this.
I just slammed one of my nails off in the door!
My poor nail.
Oh no!
I'm a monster.
No!
I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna put her in my pocket for later.
Not even a day into the challenge, and I've ruined her!
- This controller is like being kinda spotty
so I'm gonna change the batteries in this thing.
Jeez.
Step one is done.
In you go.
You know honestly these nail things aren't that bad.
I mean they're not great, I don't like wearing them,
and they hurt my fingers,
but the more accustomed you get
to the weird pulling sensation in your fingernails
whenever you touch anything, you just kinda deal with it.
- [Jared] Stop!
Harvey, just don't eat them.
Harvey, chill out.
Brother!
- Hey Levi!
Come here I wanna show you something.
- What's going on?
- Waddup dog?
- What are those?
- You don't like my nails?
Wait, is that Dan?
My other roommate?
What do you have to say bro?
I'm gonna take it out tonight.
- Bro, what are you doing?
- Your next challenge is to just
give somebody a nice little back scratch.
This is probably one of my favorite things actually.
It's not so much a challenge, it's a gift, you're welcome.
- This is my son, this is Douglas.
Say hello Douglas, okay.
- What the?
Get outta here dude.
Come on.
- My bad, my bad.
- What the-- - Kelsey, I'm sorry.
I had to do it.
- Oh here we go.
(meowing) (dinging)
- Yeah okay!
Oh I see.
Oh yeah, there it is.
- How about it.
(dinging) (laughs)
- Don't moan!
- I'm not moaning!
- Disgusting!
(jazzy music)
- What have you done?
- I tried really hard to play Dead by Daylight
with the controller, not only do I not know how
to play that game with a controller,
but still using a controller with these is not easy.
I was raging so hard.
(yelling)
The nails are hurting!
The right bumper on this controller is bull (beep)!
- I need your opinion.
I'm going out this weekend,
can I rock this and still pick up some girls?
- Wear all black. - Facts.
- Make sure you wear all black.
Wear a cool beanie,
and wear some glasses and just make a statement.
And you gotta do it and be confident, make a full statement.
- So I decided to take Hugh's advice,
wear a little bit of black shoes, black pants,
black shirt, rocking a little bit of red,
there's a little bit of red on the nails,
so this is what we're gonna do.
Just full confidence, and see what happens.
- [Jeff] Okay, we're just gonna go ahead and.
(crinkling)
Just gonna, go ahead and.
(crinkling)
We're just gonna go one nail in that.
So that's.
Okay, yeah it's a fork and knife situation.
- Yo, he really did it.
- We're out here. - He really did it.
- You can't talk shit, Miles Morales, we're out here.
- He did it yo, he did it.
- Shout-out to the boy. - Yeah we out here.
- He did it. - I did not pick on.
- Oh, did I win? - Oh, yeah!
- You like cannot press any of these buttons
without first of all,
these feeling like they're gonna rip off,
or like pressing one of the number buttons too.
So I'm like I wanna trim these bad boys.
This is a horrible idea, nobody ever do this.
I just need to be able to play computer games today.
I literally can't.
(smashing)
(yelling)
- Your next challenge is to just get a card
out of your own wallet.
- [Drew] All right folks, so this next challenge
is pretty easy, take a card out of your wallet.
So we just use your thumb
(dinging)
then, here you go.
(dinging) - I don't know if this is like
supposed to be this simple.
- [Drew] Just kinda like that, bing bang boom!
See, easy peasy.
- We're gonna just do a little
(dinging) boom.
And then there's the credit card out the wallet.
- [Jared] This is not difficult Kelsey.
I could do this on and off 100 times.
Oh f**k, Oh (beep).
Wait.
- [Megan] (laughing) Do you need my help?
- [Jared] Wait, you really can't grab this!
Whoa!
Hold on, wait.
There's no one behind us.
- [Megan] Do you need me to get it?
- I can't do it at all, oh my God.
Thanks Megan!
- I got short little nails!
Missing data entry, God (beep).
- The problem with this is like
whenever it hits this X button, my nail gets caught
and it feels like I'm ripping my thumbnail off.
- So, I'm not surprised, I mean as we expected,
let's look, they're walking right now, but I took the L.
I was the Browns, he was the Colts I mean.
- What can I say, I mean, I think it was the fingernails?
- 33 to 13, it was a bad one.
- I'm gonna take these, these are mine now.
- [Jared] Honestly I think this is the worst part
of having these, it's not wiping my own butt,
it's picking up her poop with these (bleep) crazy tips.
These suck.
This is very difficult, I hate this.
- Did you just breathe into your voice text?
- No, I'm trying to use my nose.
- [Jared] Yes!
I can press them, oh my God,
I can just barely use these keys.
Here it is boys, we got our first victory of the day
and an S minus rank on Yuumi.
These nails, they ain't holding me back no more,
and neither are these (bleep) number keys.
- Your next challenge is to write a note.
Just you know, tell me your feelings.
- [Jared] What, how do you?
- Now, I went to a bar on Friday and I had to sign
a receipt, but I just kinda like fisted it.
So this is gonna be interesting.
I'll write to myself after I get these off.
- Okay, finished the note. (dinging)
But I wrote it to Kelsey.
So I'm gonna just read it out for you guys.
The challenge has taught me many things.
One, that nails, they're great head scratchers.
That's true, they are great head scratchers.
- [Jared] I can see where this really isn't that bad.
You just have to hold it like a 10 year old would hold it.
- Oh this is awful, oh my God.
(laughing)
Drew.
- [Jared] Well certainly not the prettiest handwriting,
(dinging) especially down here.
But you know, we did it, give me the points Kelsey.
- Okay, well at least, how about that, huh?
That's not.
(dinging) That's not bad!
- First of all, I am so glad to have my fingers back.
It really was a minor form of torture having those nails on.
- The longer I have these on, the less I actually mind them,
I don't hate having these on, I'm not thrilled about it,
but you know I've actually kind of gotten used to it.
- There was a lot of looks, a lot of questions,
a lot of what's going on, but that is to be expected.
It was interesting, but the hardest part
was playing those video games, man.
I'm telling you, I can't wait to get these bad boys off.
- You cannot use a keyboard, couldn't play a single game
where I needed to use WSAD, just wasn't gonna happen.
Using a controller was barely any easier.
- I wish I had gotten them prettier.
It's not worth the sacrifice to lose your dexterity.
- Kelsey, I don't know how you do it, but more power to you
and more power to actually
whoever does this 'cause I am not the one.
- I have a whole new found respect for people
who put these on decisively
and pull it off in a more fashionable way.
- If you're a gamer and you have acrylic nails,
kudos to you.
