On Nail’d It Season 1 Episode 3, stakes were raised, tension was palpable, astrological designs are created and the three designers made something fit for a bride.
When the dust settled on Nail’d It Season 1 Episode 3, Florida nail artist Ashley Craig won the $10,000 prize and advanced to the two-part finale later this year.
Each week, three artists compete for $10,000, creating flat-paint nail designs or over-the-top 3D nail sculptures using gels, polishes, wraps, laces, etc.
The winners of each battle go on to compete in the show’s two-part finale for a $100,000 grand prize on the Oxygen reality show’s finale this fall.
In Tuesday’s show, Craig and two other women had two hours to create astrology-inspired designs for psychic clients using magnetic gel polish.
You can watch Nail’d It online to see the drama play out for yourself, but Craig won the challenge by designing a fairy-wing pattern for her Libra client.
In six hours, they had to make 3D flowers to be worn on a model’s fingers, and when her fingers come together, the flowers form a wedding bouquet.
Craig seemed confident at the beginning of the show, as she’s never lost a nail-art competition (these are a thing apparently) and this was no different.
“I’ve never lost a year that I’ve competed,” she told host Adrienne Bailon, backing up her talk by walking the walk. “And I don’t plan on starting now.”
Congrats, and good luck in the next round … where the competition is bound to be even steeper. No pressure, Ashley. No pressure what so ever.
