Here is a closer look at the design that moved the judges to tears, and Ashley into the winners circle. Ashely placed dried flowers on her sugar skull design.

Ashley was always a bouquet of color. If you look closely, her tattoos match her multi-colored roses on the first of her final looks.

During the first 8-hour day of art, Kandi Banks sketches out her designs and makes notes on how her signature look will be placed on her nail canvas.

Lauren Wireman’s detail was impeccable and you can see why. She mapped out the times of each design to ensure that the allotted 16 hours would be enough.

Before adding the bright roses, Ashley’s design was perfect and, according to judge Jan Arnold, looked expensive.

This final set by Kandi looked good enough to eat. Her cartoon meets candy looks were a favorite amongst the 'Nail’d It' crew.

Everyone was dripping in sparkle and bling. Judge Elaine T. Watson came to shine with her glittery set.

On set our judges had to make some tough decisions and dole out hard advice but that never stopped them from smiling and having a great time.

Our models loved the art they were rocking and had a blast striking a pose once their designs had been jugged privately.

Since there were two looks per contestant we had double the models for the final episode. There was an entire room set up for models to get a manicure after hair and makeup.

Because this was the finale, our models got bright smokey eyes and sophisticated hair styles. They sat like princesses backstage before walking out.

Lauren’s poppy model made sure to sit still before judging. After one of her flowers was dropped during the competition, she sat safely in the judging area.
