What do Honey Boo Boo and nail art have in common? Soon, both will feature prominently in your nightly guilty pleasure reality TV veg-fest. Variety reports that Oxygen network is jumping on the tippy-tail end of the extreme nail art bandwagon with "Nailed It!," a new competition pitting breakout nail designers against each other for worldwide nail art domination.

The show will follow standard competitive reality TV protocol -- think: Project Runway and America's Next Top Model with a roster of typecast nail artists competing in twice-weekly challenges that focus on their "ability to work with extreme themes and custom designs." At their disposal, nail artists will have nearly every material known to nail -- gels, wraps, polishes, glitter, lace, rhinestones, 3D objects and other "extreme" (unnamed) materials.

In other breaking nail art news, Oxygen's announcement coincides with a recent order for Swedish track competitor to remove the rainbow polish from her nails at a track competition in Russia. The high-jump athlete painted her nails to protest recent anti-gay laws passed in Russia, but was informed that the act was in violation of conduct rules. The athlete, Emma Green-Tregaro, then painted her nails red, "for love," she said.
