- I prefer to paint like,
birdhouses instead of nails,
'cause it's a larger palette.
(rock music)
- I think nail art is intense.
- I don't know how they do
the little designs.
- I don't think I have the attention span for it.
- I think that if you are good at nail art,
you're probably good at all art.
- People have been doing creative stuff with their nails
for a long time, so there's some really inventive,
like dope stuff on Instagram and real life.
- If I can come away as a person who at least understands
how nail polish works, I think that'd be a win.
- I don't anticipate that I will create a masterpiece
on my fingertips, but I do think I'll have fun.
- So, what are going to be doing here today?
- We are going to be learning
some intricate nail art.
- You're like, Instagram queen of nails.
- I'm trying really hard (laughs).
- Can I guess how long it took you to do those nails?
- Yeah!
- Two hours.
- It took about an hour and 15 minutes.
- Do you think that nail art
is like a sustainable part of a beauty routine?
- It's definitely a lot, but it's also something that
I think if you can find sort of peace or harmony in it
or enjoyment, then I then it's worth it.
(upbeat dance music)
- Okay, so first we're gonna take a cotton pad.
Oh, you're gonna grab
right over there (laughs). - Okay I was just like,
it's step one.
- Yes (laughs). - I'm already lost.
- And I'm gonna have you cover this and push down.
- Ooo, what is this?
- It's just nail polish remover.
- Oh, okay.
- And then just wipe of your nail.
Make sure there's no actual oils and that's all clean.
(upbeat dance music)
- A good rule of thumb whenever you're taking anything
out of a brush.
- Uh huh, no pun intended.
(dramatic violin music)
(laughs)
- Scrape the product off the side of the brush.
And then you take the side with product on it,
and that's how you start, and I like to start at the base
and the middle, and just swipe up.
It protects your nails from staining.
- Didn't even know that was a thing that happened.
(laughs)
Life is dangerous.
(exotic tropical music)
- This is Gray-t Escape.
- Great.
(snickers)
- It is 100% called Male Tears.
(laughs)
- It's beautiful, it's one of my favorites.
Tap it against your wrist,
or palm.
- That's therapeutic.
- It is kinda nice, right?
Go around the edge of the nail, and just make sure
that you've got the tip of your nail covered.
That looks beautiful.
- Oh well... - Yeah!
- I won't show you the part where I got it
all over my fingers. (laughs)
(exotic tropical music)
- We're both gonna use the white
as the white for our flowers,
and we're gonna pick a medium pink,
and a dark burgundy color.
And we're gonna blob it onto the palette.
- Oh, a dab. - Yeah!
- This is what the kids are doing these days.
- We're gonna take the pen and we're going to put it
right in between where the color divide is.
- The thing about me is, I have a master's degree in
effin' stuff up.
(laughs)
- Oh my God, my hand's shaking.
- Oh (snickers).
I saw that, I was watching it.
At this time, I want you to take the flower so that it's
sort of on the nail, half on the nail and half off.
- [Kristin] This is the most art that's ever been
anywhere near my hands.
(laughs)
(dramatic drumming)
- The worst thing that can happen, is you spend hours
on your nail art, and then you put on your top coat
and it smears everything.
- You have to like, basically use The Force to figure out,
- Yeah. - When you're nails are done.
- So good, so good.
- So good.
- So good, grab a little more.
- I've never delivered a baby,
(laughs)
but I feel like it might be kind of like this.
(light pop music)
(dings)
- I had an incredible time today.
But unfortunately, I can only pick one winner.
Kristin did a great job.
I think she came in and she sort of
didn't know what to expect, but she went with the flow.
I guess the one thing is maybe the sizing of the flowers.
She could've placed them a little bit more
intricately on the nail.
Despite the shaky hand, I think Devin did a great job.
I wasn't sure how one of the flowers was gonna turn out,
but we were able to turn it into something really positive.
Jen also did a great job,
this is really a tough competition.
I think that Devin is actually the winner
of the Nailing It competition.
- I didn't win, that's absolutely not what happened.
You're lying to me.
- I did a thing!
I did it good.
- They said it couldn't be done,
but look what I just done.
- I feel like I'm still a winner.
I feel like this thumb is still a winner.
- And what's even better is I'm gonna go eat some
spaghetti and shrimp after this.
People oughta know that even though
I do not have cool nails, I'm still feminine.
