'Nail Files' '/' TV Guide Network

No one could ever accuse nail-salon owner and overnight reality vixen Katie Cazorla of being dull. Find out just how wild Cazorla's life can be when the star of the TV Guide Network's top-rated unscripted series "Nail Files" returns for a sophomore season of employee/client drama, business expansion and glamour.

The Season 2 opener debuts Sunday, Aug. 19, and will not disappoint with its high number of overblown crises. For starters, Cazorla, 34, must attend the ASCAP awards with her fiance Walter Afanasieff, a music producer, but doesn't have a dress. Gasp!

 

Later in the episode, Cazorla, who has a whole new roster of nail techs, has to reprimand an employee for feeding foot scrub to a client. Egats and ewww!

But Cazorla is as ambitious as she is likeable and despite the show's insipid nail-salon setting, this woman who started out in Hollywood as an extra on "Suddenly Susan," is magnetic. How else can you explain the 1.1 million viewers, mostly women, who tuned in when the show debuted last year?

 

Sure, Cazorla's salon attracts C and D-listers such as Candace Cameron (last season) and Marissa Jaret Winokur (this season) but it's Cazorla who draws you in and keeps you watching.

 

"Nail Files" returns for a second season Sunday, Aug. 19, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the TV Guide Network.
