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.
