The summer sensation of Love Island USA Season 6 wraps up tonight with the highly-anticipated reunion episode. Fans have eagerly awaited the return of their favorite islanders—not just for the drama but for the statement looks that accompanied them. From Kaylor’s striking revenge-red dress to Kordell’s off-the-runway ensemble, the fashion was brought. But one islander stole the spotlight with her reunion glam: finalist JaNa Craig. The best part? Her glam squad was powered entirely by Latinas.

Craig’s standout manicure was impossible to miss, especially when she whipped out a stack of actual receipts—yes, a bundle of papers with her points and questions to hold the islanders accountable. Against those white sheets, her square-cut, long nails, adorned with metallic silver details, took center stage with a futuristic flair. The abstract design, crafted by Ginette Ventura, nail artist and owner of GiniVee Studio, was inspired by a previous look Craig had admired on Ventura’s Instagram, but they gave it a unique twist. “JaNa actually went through my [Instagram] page and loved one of the sets I posted and wanted to recreate for the dress she was planning to wear, which was going to be a shiny silver number,” Ventura shared with Remezcla.

But the Latina talent didn’t stop at nails. For her makeup, which has taken the internet by storm, Craig turned to Mayerling (May) Cintron, makeup artist and founder of beauty brand Tuhlz.

Cintron worked her magic, creating a soft glam look that perfectly highlighted Craig’s features. “Whoever did Jana’s makeup for the reunion…YOU DID THAT !,” tweeted one impressed viewer.

Craig’s jewelry was also from a Latina entrepreneur, as she donned pieces from MyPerlitas, a brand founded by Kimberly Quiros. According to the brand’s Instagram, Craig wore the curvita earrings along with custom ring and bracelet stacks for the reunion that perfectly complemented her attire. 

It’s always a win when Latina talent and founders get their well-deserved spotlight, and JaNa Craig made sure they did with her show-stopping reunion look. Was this a subtle nod to her boyfriend, fellow islander Kenny Rodriguez, and his Latino roots? It’s worth noting that both Ventura and Cintron share a Dominican background with Rodriguez. Whether intentional or not, the results were undeniably stunning.

As the curtain falls on Season 6, we’re left eagerly anticipating what’s next for Craig and the rest of the islanders. We’ll be watching closely to see who they team up with for moments like this—especially since Ginette Ventura’s influence didn’t stop with Craig. She also crafted nail looks for Liv Walker and Leah Kateb during their time in New York City, proving that these collaborations have an impact.
