As an non-native speaker “nailed it” for me as good as only exists in his ironic or sarcastic incarnation. So both “screw up” and “nailed it” would be used in a negative way, but in a different context

As a native speaker, nailed it is not always sarcastic.

E.g. “Did you see that shot he took from mid court? He fucking nailed it!”
