- Yes, we are doing nails. - [Keith] It's without
instructions. We're making nails! Nailed it! - Why does that one look so shitty? - [Keith] It's just
disgusting how it lifts up off the nail bed. - I'm just gonna go ahead
and say (bleep) the edges. - [Keith] Could someone give me a hand? Look at this hand job. Is it cute and cool? Cuticle. Finger lickin' good. Winter winner chicken finger. (upbeat music) - Whoo! - Yeah! (upbeat music) - [Narrator] The Try Guys
are back in the workshop for another episode of
"Without Instructions." This week they're making gel nail art. - Why am I even messing
with this (bleep) light that turns off every 30 seconds? - [Narrator] Will they hands
down paint a masterpiece? - We're gonna have to
saw these fingers apart. - [Narrator] Or will they
be filed under disaster? - I've been spattered with blood. - I just couldn't help myself.
I'm so gay. I love glitter. - [Narrator] Fingers crossed. Each try guy will have two
hours to paint the nails on our beautiful mannequin
hands and present it to our panel of judges. - Hi, I'm Lauren, or LaurDIY. I am a DIY and women's lifestyle YouTuber. I also host a craft show on
HBO Max called "Craftopia." I'm actually the most qualified
out of all of these episodes of this series because I do love nail art and I've dabbled in nail art. - Hi, I'm Joey. I'm one of the Try Moms. I haven't gotten a
manicure in eight years, so I am severely under-qualified
to judge a competition, but I have lots of unsolicited
opinions. So here I am. - Hello. My name is Katie Masters also known as NailThoughts, and I am a nail artist with a salon in Santa Monica, California. And I'm here to judge all of the nail art. Nail art can be anything, first of all. I feel like you can
have abstract nail art. You can have hand painted nail art. You can do glitter, gems. It's almost like jewelry, in a way. Because you have it on
your hands. You have it. It's always out. So nail
polish dries by evaporation. It's not for strength. It's just, literally, you
paint the nail polish on and it air dries. And you can usually tell that it is dry when it doesn't smell anymore. 'Cause the nail polish has that smell. Acrylic is the powder mixed
with the monomer liquid. Acrylic is usually used for extensions or just overlays for
strength on the nails. You can put gel on top of it. You can put nail polish on top of it. And then gel is only thing
that cures under the light that needs the UV LED
light to actually dry. If someone were to do
this without instructions, probably wouldn't recommend it because gel can get a little complicated if you don't really
understand the intricacies and the technical issues that
you could have with gel. So. - We're not using our
hands. We're using these. - Not creepy at all. Prosthetic hands. - [Ned] Opposable fingers. - [Eugene] Whoa. Okay. Well, we have two hours to do one hand of our own original nail
art and I'm gonna start. - Hello child. Hello. - Ew. So, my creative for the nail art is little tiny hands on each nail. I'm gonna draw a little tiny
hand and that little tiny hand is gonna have little nails. And then if I can we'll
have little tiny hands. Ew, you can just stab 'em
into the skin. Stay in. - I'm sorta dressed like I'm on drugs. And today, I want my nail to
look like I'm on drugs too. I'm making psychedelic marble nails. My fiance, Maggie, has been really getting
into nail art lately. And every month she comes home and she's just been experimenting with like the coolest, craziest patterns. So I feel like I've really
got something to prove today. - [Ned] So I don't know
much about nail art, but I do know there's different shapes. One is like pointy triangle.
One is called "coffins." So my idea is to get
deadly zombie coffins. I want a little more like Halloween, like dripping blood,
like skeleton iron cross. So my little skeleton could be like this. I don't think I'm gonna be
super great at the detail work. Yeah, I think you Eugene's
gonna just basically win all of 'em. - I have painted my own nails
and I am a good painter. So I am gonna give myself
some speed bumps with this. I'm gonna take the French tip. I mean, you guys can also share, but if someone wants a
French tip let me know. - I don't know if could
know the difference. - French tip is flat. So my nail inspo is Royal Flush. So I'm inspired by deck of cards, sort of like playing poker. All of the nails very much like cards, which I'm gonna paint
like cards individually are then gonna be stacked and glued on the edges of each other. Like they're flayed out so that the nails will come out at least, I
wanna get them to like a foot. So they're all the way out. - [Producer] Who would wear this? - No one would ever wear
this, but I like it. I like this idea. I think it's hilarious. I have to plan out exactly
where each design goes before I do it so that I have like an organization so that the
colors make sense as I build up. - I've spent all, I've
spent the first 20 minutes just trying to glue a pinky. Oh, it's gluing my skin in seconds. Oh, my god. It's like I
have sandpaper fingers now. - So with gel nail art,
first thing you wanna do is definitely figure out
what background you want. Do you want a neutral background? Do you want a really poppy background? And once you put that background color on, you cure it under the
light and then figure out what design you're gonna put on top. - So I want a nice base. So I think I'm just gonna
do a nice creamy color. See that. Ooh. Oh, how come
it's so streaky looking? Yeah, I think I want that creamy base. Pink is too much. - I kinda want something that, you know, evokes like a graveyard. Maybe
there's some texture to it. - [Zach] Ned, there's
some skulls over here. - Oh yeah. Glitter skulls, baby. - So I'm gonna start using the
coffin nail just for the base because it actually fits
the hand model better. - Oh, I hate the smell. I hate- I ask Becky always to
do this when I'm gone. I hate the smell of nails. - So we're gonna do three different types of gel designs today. First thing I'm gonna do is
I know I want my background color to be a milky white. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
just gonna paint a layer of milky white onto the nail,
and then actually cure that. If you're not curing between every layer of gel that you put on, you're
definitely making a mistake. Because the more you pile on
the less likely it is to cure. - [Keith] We're gonna let these dry and then we'll put another coat on top. Yep. That's what we're gonna do. And now we wait and I
guess I should just start. - No white top coat sealer. Do you think that goes on at the end? - Yeah. - I found some holo dust. I don't know how you do
it, but I'm gonna do it. I'm thinking that I pour
this in there, mix it up. When I see nail art, it's so intricate. You gotta be a really good painter, but you gotta be a
really good tiny painter. - [Keith] What are you doing over there? You put it in the box? - [Zach] Oh yeah. I'm drying my thing. - Yeah, that's a good idea. I have placed my silicone
hand into the sun UV box because it's there. And I
think it makes it dry faster. I'm doing it for the thirty second method, and then I'm gonna take the hand out and put more pink on it. - I've done one nail and I already, like, how do you stay within the lines? Like, I can clean it up at the end, but I know that
professionals don't do that. I'm just gonna go ahead
and say (bleep) the edges. - [Katie] It's super
important to not get any on the cuticles because what happens is, again, if I cured that and
it was on my client's skin, once it's on their skin,
it's already lifted. So if you've ever had that experience where you get out of the
nail salon and your nails a couple days later are catching
in your hair, your clothes. It means it was probably on your skin and it started growing out
and it was already lifted. So you really don't wanna
cure it on the cuticles or the skin. - So I'm doing a white
base for this first layer. This is so meticulous. Let's get in there. Great. Let that cook for a bit. - We're gonna use this later
to carve off the excess paint off of their fingers. Probably not how you're supposed to do it, but these aren't people here. This is a rubber gross hand. This is the best way to work on nails. So you can really isolate the fingers. Let me just say that this
client's hand flexibility makes nail work so much better. You can really torque
that pinky outta place. - How do I do just the
nail and not the cuticle? - Bro, if you find out you let me know. - It's like the ultimate
color in the lines challenge. - [Keith] Just let it overlap
and go in and clean it off. - [Ned] How do I do that? - [Keith] Just paint all over the place and go in and take it off. - I don't know if you can see
like the little plastic tip that I do think I
probably have to sand off. - [Producer] All right, you have an hour and 25 Minutes left. - Aye-aye-aye. I don't know, this isn't my strong suit. Honestly, this whole series
isn't my strong suit. Honestly, I told Rachel I really wish that I could just be cooking right now. 'Cause even when I don't
make a good dish, I have fun. Oh, crap. Oh, I just took off
a whole big strip of the nail. Oh, great. The hand didn't really fit in the thingy 'cause it's, you know, not a real hand. Oh, I feel like I undid
all of my hard work. - [Eugene] Oh, no, Ned.
- Oh, no. Yeah. I don't know if I'm gonna make good things 'cause I don't do crafty stuff very often. And the time limit is really hard. Why does that one look so shitty? Why does that one look so shitty? These were perfect a minute ago. Why am I even messing
with this (bleep) light that turns off every 30 seconds. They got all crinkly. - If you're doing gel and
you notice after you cure it that the gel is sort of, like
shriveling up or bubbling up. It means you put way too much
gel on and it's super thick. So you wanna make sure when you apply gel, you do it in nice thin layers. So you're not making the nail lumpy, but also not causing the
gel to shrink and wrinkle. - Why is it lumpy? Do I need to- Is that what Ned was talking
about with the patch and strip? If you can see, like, this
is what I'm not happy with. Like, these, this moment here. I don't know if that's
what this tool is for but that's how I'm using it. - Just gonna paint them first
and then stick 'em on second. It's never been done before. - Okay. So I cured that
first layer of milky white. And I'm gonna go through
again and do another one, but not cure it. And what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna take all my colors that I'm gonna use and blob
it onto my nail palette. Then I'm gonna take my brush. I have all of the colors on my brush and I'm going to start at the cuticle and just take my brush and bring it down. And with a kind of clean brush, all I'm gonna do is go around the edges and just play with it. Now I'm gonna cure it. - I am very delicately
trying to put one tiny piece of something and getting it to stick, but it has to land
straight. And it is so hard. I've worn nails quite a
few times at this point. But the designs that nail artists do are sometimes really wild. When I went to the Met Gala I wore nails by my friend, Soji, who
hand painted something based off of like, bacterial fungi. So a lot of the nail
artists I know, you know, have like very specific
inspo's that they do. Whether it be really glamorous, whether it be a little more high concept. For me, today, I'm thinking
I'm going to push more into like the conceptual territory and create something really cool that also probably is not very practical. 'Cause I want these nails to be long. - [Keith] I'm gonna try to
get some black nail polish and draw hands. Then I'm gonna put little
dollops of red on the fingertips. 'Cause red nails are a choice
for a night out of passion. I'd like to have, you know, at least little dimples of pink
where the knuckles would be. So there's some sort of texture. Okay. Let's get this hand back out here. See how good of a hand job we've done. - Let's see, Should I go with
crystal skulls? Indiana Jones. No, come on now. Don't don't
slide on me. Come on, guys. Maybe I'll just crank this
lady's fingers up to balance it. - What I do now is I choose my colors. I make a little swirly swirl. I did art as a kid. I loved art. I mean, it's really fun
to express yourself. I'm more of an avant-garde artist. I'm not good at precision. I think the only way
for me to win today is to lean in to my natural abilities. I'm not gonna try and make anything that's supposed to look like a thing. Yeah, there it (bleep) is. - [Producer] One hour and 9 minutes. - (groans) No, Nope, Nope.
You stay there. Stay there. Ooh, that looks kinda cool. Just a little fleck of blood on the skull. - [Keith] Okay. Now we just
go in and put some red nails on there and- - [Producer] Are you done? - Pretty soon. You tell
me that's not a hand. Gotta hand it to you, man. You
know a hand when you see one. - This is like impossible. All right. Ah-ha-ha-ha! (groans) Ah! Ah! I've been mattered with blood! Oh, god. I'm in the slasher movie now! - I'm going to dip my whole brush into this iridescent purplely glowy pink and paint over the whole thing. And since it's sheer, it just
adds another extra layer. - Ah. Ah. Ah. Oh, god, - [Producer] Don't step in it.
- There's blood ev- Well, what am I supposed to do? I need to wash my face. It's gonna stain. - This is a good way to
do your glitter designs or any sort of flakes
is while the gel is wet, put the flakes in it
so it cures all in it. Now I'm gonna cure it. So it makes my life so much easier when I put top coat on it's
gonna be way less sticking up. - And that's pretty frickin'
cool. (chuckles) Is that cool? This is, literally, just
the nails that Maggie has. You see how it's like gloopy 3D? Kind of really nothing I can
do about that now, though, 'cause it's dried on. I'm
gonna go in and fix this up. - Once you cure it, that's it. It's on there. Hardened. It's cured. So if you don't like something, the good news is you tell it when to dry. So you can just wipe it
off before you cure it and then redo it. But, don't put another
layer on top of your mistake that you cured because then
you're just gonna end up with a really thick nail. - Yeah. I would say I'm
starting to ruin it now. I think I made it worse. - Now, here's what I'm thinking
to make it more like a hand. Could I go in and saw
in between the fingers? Okay. We're gonna have to
saw these fingers apart. Perfect. It won't stay in these little cuticles. Do we have scissors? Do we have nail scissors? I guess I could use wire cutters. I think this is actually
working out pretty okay. They are disgusting in so many
ways, but they're fingers. - I'm probably the furthest behind 'cause I'm adding nails on my nails. I think the experiment,
at least, is really fun. I really wanted to extend these further, but it might be much more, I don't know, tame than I initially wanted. But I'm adding glitter and I'm
just trying to create designs to make it look like custom made. - That one was clean. I'm getting better. Would something like this be an upgrade? - [Producer] It's so glittery. - It's just a light sprinkling of glitter. I could just rebrand it to Zombie Disco. - Okay. So now we are going
to do a little tie-dye French tip action. First, I'm just gonna put like
a little neutral glitter gel in the background. We're gonna do one color at a
time and we're not curing it. Gonna swoop it down and almost
like a little French vibe. Underneath the blue, pink. And then finally, Zach, he's green, yeah? So he's the baby spoon in this design. He's the little spoon.
- [Producer] And in life. - And in life. And I'm gonna take that same
brush, I wiped it clean. Drag the gel down to make it look like it's bleeding into each
other like a tie-dye. I just made tie-dye and I didn't really have to work too hard for it. A lot of my designs are very
much just make the gel work for you so you don't have
to stress out about it. And once I like it, I'm gonna cure it. - We have about 30 minutes left
and we have different levels of doneness that we are. I'm pretty close to done. I
mean, look at these bad boys. They're looking good. - I'm trying to decide
if these little gems are- - Oh, these are cool.
- Better or worse. - These are like actually
good. I mean, according to me. I think girls would wear
these to a music festival. - Yeah, they're definitely messy. - [Keith] They don't look that bad. - [Producer] 25 minutes. - [Eugene] Damnit. I
should not use glitter. It flew over all the
other work that I did. So now it's ruined. - I don't- - So I have to go paint
over all the glitter that- - Oh.
- It was so clean. I think they look awful now. Should've just avoided the glitter. Just couldn't help myself.
I'm so gay. I love glitter. - I couldn't help myself. I'm
so straight. I love fingers. (laughing) - What do you like about what do you like about fingers, Keith? - I just love how they fing.
They have so many names. Fingers, phalanges. Ooh, and when you find a
criminal, you finger them. They do say that. They say,
"I've fingered a subject." - That is true. - And then it's like, looks like you've got your finger on it. - [Producer] They say,
"Caught red handed." - [Keith] They say that too. But they say, "I've fingered my man." (laughing) They say that. What does "fingered" mean in crime? The identification of the
subject of a criminal accusation. - [Eugene] Yeah. It's like- - Fingering. - Now we're gonna do some
hand painted peaches. You have a couple different
options for hand painted things. You can either actually hand paint it or you can find so many cute
little decals or stickers that you can put on the nail. So I'm gonna use this sort of milky pink. One coat of it and cure it. We gotta get the peach shape down. I'm gonna dip it into the coral, almost upside down heart, in a way. And once I have that layer
down going to cure it. So now I'm gonna take
this sheer magenta color and only on one side, I'm
gonna do a little outline. So that is just a little
shading just to add more depth so the design is way less flat. Dip it into this green. I'm gonna just do two
leaves on the bottom of it. So I'm gonna take my white,
little white dot there. Almost like it's a
little light reflection. Again, I like to cure in between layers. And now just a final little
step, subtle outline in brown. And there we go. See, it's very subtle, but it finishes it. Kinda just adds a little bit more depth. Now I'm gonna cure that. - [Producer] You're doing nail art. - [Ned] Oh, thanks. I'm trying to. - [Producer] You're painting them. - I'm painting them.
- [Producer] By hand. - I'm painting them by hand. I'm being careful. I know. - [Keith] I think these are
really clean pirate girl nails. - Right - [Keith] Like, I'm
going to a pirate party. - Clean pirate party. - These are like, I'm going to
a death metal music festival. - Right. Right. - [Ned] I've replaced the
pointer finger with a skull and crossbones. - I think all I have left
to do is the top coat. Although, I'm trying to give
these nails a manicure now, so that nothing's too sharp. - What do you think the
top coat does, Keith? - I think it makes- I think it seals it. And then I also think
it makes it look good. - Top coat is basically very
necessary for a gel manicure because gel needs something to seal it in. The color isn't going to
stay shiny without top coat. The color is not gonna
last without top coat. And now we're all done. And here's all of the
nail out we did today. - Would I be crazy to do one last layer? Rachel, would you hate me if
I just tried to do it better? If I just tried. - [Producer] It's your 6 minutes. - If I just tried. Okay. This is where I make or break. I would say, I would say that was worse. Worse mistake. - Well, I did about 10
skull and crossbones and one looks okay. - ♪ Fingers ♪ ♪ Fingers in the mornin' ♪ ♪ Fingers in the evenin' ♪ ♪ Fingers at supper time ♪ ♪ When fingers on your fingers ♪ ♪ You can have fingers all the time. ♪ Look at all these fingers. Finger puppet. Ooh, lady fingers. Vienna fingers. - Sausage fingers.
- [Keith] Sausage fingers. - Foam fingers. Finger lickin' good fried chicken. - Ugh. She really gave me
the cold finger last night. (laughing) - Touching fingers. - [Producer] 3, 2, 1.
All right, fingers up. - Oh, Jesus Christ. - Fingers! Yeah! Let's show our fingers to the judges. - Today, we will be judging
on creativity, execution, and, "Is it nail art?" I think because you don't
have to cure the nail polish until it's good. I just feel as if it's really
easy to wipe off the cuticle around it before you stick
it into the UV light. - Didn't even occur to me as an option. - No? Oh, good. So I just feel like there's
just really no excuse to have a lot of mess. - I love it when someone just goes ham on their individual style. Something that like screams
like, why I did this, as opposed to just going,
like, I don't know. I just picked one color for everything. - I don't want it to be
messy where it ends up just looking like mud. But I want it to be kind of weird. and I wanna see everyone's
personality come out. - Awesome. (laughing) Really. - [Producer] They will let you down. - [Katie] Yes. - Judges, I present to you
my deadly coffin nails. - [Lauren] Oh, god. - Ooh! - [Lauren] Is this blood splatter? - [Ned] Yeah. It's blood splatter. - [Lauren] Listen. - [Katie] Ned! - [Joey] It's kind of
too pretty to be deadly. - [Lauren] Oh, my god. These skulls. - [Katie] Yeah. - [Ned] Some crystal glitter skulls and then some accent nails
with the little skull and crossbones. - I love this. - [Lauren] I'm really-
- [Katie] I'm so impressed. - [Lauren] Yeah. I'm so impressed. I'm so impressed that you
got the skull and crossbones on the pinky. - And remember when I was
talking about with gel, right, you have to cure it. And sometimes if you put it
on too thick what happens is it doesn't cure underneath. And you chose, like, the hardest color. You chose straight black. So I can see that, like, it's
a little wrinkled on the side. Especially with colors
like black, white, and red, if you put it on too thick,
they're really pigmented. And so what happens is the light can't go all the way through. So
it only cures the top. So underneath is still wet
and then it just shrinks and like wrinkles up from the side. - Yeah. I definitely
had some failed attempts that were super wrinkly
and I was like, "What?" - [Katie] And you're
like, "What is happening?" - How is that happening? (laughing) - [Katie] And I do see it on the pinky, but other ones, I don't see it. - I really love, and I'm
sure this is intentional, that the eye sockets in the
skull are different sizes to give that extra spooky, like, did this person have a larger eyeball? - [Katie] Yes. Are intentional. - Absolutely. - That's like, like, what
was your inspiration? Like, you went in and you said this or did it take a while
for you to think of it? - One of the few things
I know about nail art is one of them is called a "coffin" shape. That's part of where it started. - Got it. - My son is very into
spooky stuff right now. - Like, this is definitely
something that you would, if you typed in like, "Halloween
Pinterest Nails" or like "Spooky Nails" on Pinterest. Like this could definitely
be something that comes up. Yeah, for sure. I'm almost kind of disappointed
that it wasn't like, more chaotic, 'cause I was
ready for like, a shit show. This is really nice. - Wow. - Just you wait.
- Just you wait. - [Lauren] Oh, okay. Is it
going downhill from here? - [Producer] Yep. - [Lauren] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. - [Producer] Probably. - Is it nail art? - Absolutely.
- Yes. - Yeah. - Judges, thank you. - Great job, Ned. - [Keith] Fingers, fingers, fingers. - Oh, my god. - We all wish we just
had a few more fingers. Judges, please open your eyes
and behold all the fingers. - Okay.
- Keith, what the fuck? - Fingers. Little hands on your nails. - [Joey] Oh, my god! I see what you did. - [Keith] I was inspired by hands. - This is so creative. - 30 fingers. - [Keith] Yeah. You know. - [Katie] Did you cut the
nails to be like actual. - More like fingers. - Wow. - Fingers are useless
if they're all fused. - [Joey] There are knuckles on them. So you really see the
difference between the tarsals. - [Keith] There's even little veins. - [Lauren] Oh, is that
what that is? A vein. - [Keith] Yeah. See the little blue- - [Lauren] Yeah, yeah, I see the blue. - [Keith] strips. Little tiny faded veins. - [Katie] Wow. - I mean, listen, the
concept is fully fleshed out. - Yes. - Boom ching.
- Aha! - Yeah. - This is very creative.
- Thank you. - [Katie] I really like this. - Is it cute and cool?
Cuticle. (chuckling) - [Joey] It's cool
- [Lauren] Oh, boy. - Obviously, it's not
wearable in like regular life. But I feel like this
is one of those things where people would-
- [Lauren] Couture. - Yeah. - Hey, Katie, have you
ever had fingernails to look like this? - Oh, absolutely not. - [Joey] But is it something
that you're gonna try? - Um. - Absolutely not.
- Absolutely not. Only because I'm doing
people that are, you know, living their life. Living
their regular life. It's not necessarily to live regularly. - [Keith] No, it's art. - I think overall the execution is okay. The veins don't read as veins. The knuckles don't
really read as knuckles. - Honestly, I did a way better job than I could have supposed I
would making little fingers. I'm thrilled. Lastly, is it nail art? - Absolutely. - Yes. - I think it's nail, nail,
nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail,
nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail,
nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail, nail art. (all cheering) - [Lauren] Yeah! - I at least presented
the most nails today. - Judges, we're looking
to have a great hand. So I've stacked the deck in your favor. We're waking up in Vegas because I'm proudly presenting
my Royal Flush nails. - Oh!
- Oh! - Oh, my god! - [Lauren] Wow. - [Joey] Are these cards
painted or did you use a decal? - [Eugene] No. - [Katie] That's gotta be stickers. - [Eugene] Those are little
decal. Little stickers. - [Lauren] So then did you
paint the club, spade, diamonds? - Honestly, I wish I had 'cause
like, I used little decals. But it took maybe 30 minutes to even try to place them correctly
with little tweezers. - I think your use of the
little stickers though, like really, really helps. - It translates the
meaning of the thing better with the cards. - No, I mean that, it, I
think would look shittier without the stickers. - Oh, I wholly agree. I completely agree. - Gotta be honest, the execution of like this middle portion though, is not the greatest in
terms of like the goopy and height of it. - [Eugene] Yeah. It's a little rough. - [Katie] Did you combine two
nails or did you have a thing- - [Eugene] I combined two nails. You know what it was, too,
is I tried experimenting with like free glitter, loose glitter. - [Katie] Yes. - [Eugene] And then it got everywhere. And then so I had to like
repaint over other areas, which made it really clumpy looking. - Yes. Glitter is hard 'cause
it can kind of get like lumpy. - [Eugene] Yeah. - [Katie] And even if it
was like a glitter gel, I feel like you would still have the lump. - [Joey] I really like the rhythm of all of the different color changes
and the shapes, though. Like, you really did
each nail differently. - I think it's grand, Eugene. MGM grand. (crickets chirping) - Oh, wow. - We're all gonna fold after that joke. - Would you wear these nails? - I would wear them for a music video. So judges, is it nail art? - Yes.
- Yeah. - Yeah, totally. - Would you wear these? - No.
- No. - Okay. Perfect. Good night. - [Zach] Judges, let's get psychedelic. Here are my nails. They
remind me of drugs. - Maggie just had these, motherfucker. (all laughing) - [Zach] So what you have
here is marble nails. Absolutely inspired by my fiance. I went with like a nice
milky base on the bottom and then tried a marbling technique. It's psychedelic. It's fun. And then to create a border of
sorts, I did those diamonds. - [Lauren] Great color choice. I mean, some of these marbles are really, like the marbling on like
specifically this finger, is really good. I almost wish you hadn't done the gems or gone for something
a little bit smaller. I think they're a little bit oversized. And again, like it's definitely
like a sensory overload. - The nails that Maggie's done, she had like a much cleaner border and I realized that was done
with another layer of paint. And so I think the gem was
my way of making up for my - Hiding.
- Ineptitude. Yeah. - I do see that, also,
what happened to you is - [Zach] It's starting to pop up. - [Katie] Yeah, like,
I can squish it. It's- - It wasn't like that two days ago. - [Katie] You did it very thick. - Yeah, I did. - [Katie] Yeah, so it
just didn't cure properly. - [Zach] There was a
nail that I did not like, and so I did it again and
then it got way too, just fat. It never even occurred to
me that I could rub it off. - Yes.
- That's the best part. - Wipe it off, yeah,
that's the best part. Yep. - [Zach] I didn't do that. - [Lauren] I think it's creative. This is probably the closest one to what I would pick for myself. - [Katie] Yeah. Me too. - It was an immediate like,
wow, that's so pretty. As opposed to like, oh,
that's a creative statement. You know, and I think that- - A creative choice. - Yeah. Most people who go
and get their nails done they want that like (gasps)
moment. Let me see your nails. And then-
- [Lauren] Yes. - We had that moment. - Judges, is it nail art? - Yeah.
- Yes. - Totally. - I honored the love of my life. That's normally Ned's thing. So creative. - Yes. You were inspired by that. Yes. - I was inspired by
Becky, she's got hands. (all laughing) - So first of all, let me just tell you, you guys did a really good
job for your first time. - Thank you.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - We're pretty handy.
- Yeah. - And now in fourth place, it was a hand that gave
us all a little scare. It was a hand that none of us would wear. And even though I can hardly
bear to deliver this news in fourth place is Keith. - Seemed like she liked
delivering that news. (all laughing) - Unfortunately, it's Keith. - Quite the turn at the end of that poem, Keith doesn't even rhyme
with any of those words. The task was to only do five nails. I did 30, so I get it. I over delivered. Thank you, judges. - And in third place, we
chose a nail that accessorized and you know, really used the materials that they had available to them. And in third place we have Eugene. - Seems like I had the
losing hand the whole time. And, Vegas. - Oh, my god. Whoa. - Look, he's gone! - And we never saw him again. - No I'm still here. - Oh, god.
- Oh, god. - Oh, god! - The last two gave us great nail art. Got some gems in there. Got great shapes. But we decided that the first place is... - [Lauren, Katie, Joey] Zach! - [Zach] I am the finger king! (all cheering) - You did it! - [Ned] Congratulations,
Zach, you nailed it. - I got finger- Oh, that's good. 'Cause I was gonna scream "I fingered." - And with Ned's third
second place finish, we head into the finals next week. Who will win and will Ned
get another second place? - Thanks for watching. We'll
see you next week. Bye! - Bye!
- Bye! - Bye! - Oh, oh, oh! (upbeat music) Next week on Without Instructions: Wedding Dresses! The toughest challenge yet. - Woooooow!
- Yes!
- What?! I've never struggled with anything so hard in my life. Nooooooo!!!! I assume that you need to cover nipples in order to successfully
call yourself a wedding dress.
I loved this video!! I loved they got a nail artist to be a judge - and I follow her on Instagram so I loved seeing her there! There are big nail art accounts & a big following on social media & YouTube so it makes so much sense for them to try this!
I feel it's a bit odd that they keep doing these with things that Eugene does in his spare time. It was kind of like with the WAR when Ned was really into baking bread.
I really hope that one day they do redos of all their without instructions videos but with an instructor or with instructions. Would be so cool to see their without instructions attempt versus the with instructions attempt.
Way too excited for the next Without Instructions episode!! 👰♀️🪡🧵
Honestly I'd rather watch them attempt those projects with instructions. They still feature a professional, so why not actually TRY and learn? You know, like they did with pottery, knitting, crotcheting... I love Without A Recipe, but crafts like these are way more fun when they just goof around together instead of competing.
Pardon my ignorance. Joey introduced herself as a Try-mom. How is she associated with them?
Ned should have won
Possibly my least favorite “Without A…” video
