This ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Star Celebrated The Show’s Renewal With A $200 Splurge | CNBC Make It.

When Fox announced Thursday that the police comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was canceled, actress Stephanie Beatriz started planning for the worst.

"Essentially, we had lost our jobs for a moment," Beatriz, who plays an officer named Rosa on the five-season show, tells CNBC Make It.

She began asking herself, "What can I cut out of my monthly budget that isn't necessary? What can I shed?" Beatriz says. "That was the initial thing."

Then, late on Friday May 11, NBC agreed to pick up the series for a 13-episode sixth season.

"We're all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best-cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy lineup," Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement reported by The New York Times.

For Beatriz, that was a reason to splurge.

"When we got the pick-up, I went and got my nails done," she says. "They were $200."

The nail artist went to Beatriz's house and crafted a pink and gold glitter mani, which Beatriz showed off Monday at NBC's Upfront presentations.

"I would never do that on a regular basis, but because we had just gotten the pick-up, it was like a gift to myself," Beatriz adds. "Some people go to fancy dinners, I get my nails done."

While researching her role as Rosa — a tough, no nonsense character for "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" — Beatriz discovered that some women in the real police force also sported extravagant manicures now and again, she told Seth Meyers on a recent episode of NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

"I interviewed various female detectives," the actress said. "My favorites were the beat cops because all of them had serious nails."

When "Brooklyn Nine-Nine's" cancellation was first announced by Fox, the show's fans, including stars like Lin-Manuel Miranda, took to Twitter using the hashtags #SaveB99 and #RenewB99.
