Creative Eruption: The Top 2 and the Bottom 2

Challenge 9, sponsored by Gel II, asked the Top 4 to create Hawaiian-themed nail art, including a volcano. This week’s guest judge was So Yong Yu of Gel II.

In alphabetical order, the Top 2 are:

Ashton: You are a master of color and composition. Upon closer inspection, the art and detail are extremely well done. The only critique the judges have: this may be too predictable at this point in the competition.

Nixxi: The judges were delighted with the version of Hawaii you showed us. You utilized every aspect of the Volcano Spa product line. Remember to teach more in your videos.

Unfortunately, there always has to be a bottom group. The bottom 2, in alphabetical order, are:

Carly: Your message of creating and destroying life was well-received. You are an excellent teacher! All your elements separately (the turtle in particular) are incredibly beautiful, but together it’s hard to appreciate the scene and overall balance. The car in particular was dark and hard to decipher.

Kelsey: The judges applaud your unique take on this challenge. The color choices of dark blue and bright orange really made for a beautiful lava effect. However, the judges craved more 3-D work from you. The missing video component also hurt your score.
