I am Judy Frank for Expert Village. And we are going to be doing some nail art today. Okay we've got our painters ready to go we can put on our next layer on; which is the water. So I like these little teal, it's the metallic paint mixed with the little bit of that opaque blue paint. Let's get a little bit of dimension here I think this darker blue is a pretty color but I do like a hint of that green it just gives it a little more like a sea quality so let?s get that going I got a lot of paint on there so you can dab away and get a little on the drier side. And just go straight across with this one so your water line is nice and straight. And remember to, if you need to you can turn the fingers either way just to help you to turn from side to side make sure you have each part of your nail covered and this is when you need a model who is really loose. If you can't get her to loosen up then just move them your self. This is usually pretty good if I didn't turn her fingers with my fingers like that I wouldn't be able to get all the way around. So, we are just going from nail to nail and I am wanting to remember I am going to be putting a sandy beach on here so the sand beach has to show up so I want to go up a little high up with that water line. So from left to right and there is a little bit of thickness in this paint so that's okay I am going to be putting a little white on here and that white is going to help make it more look more like the water the waves crashing up on the sea you know on the sand, it's going to make more sense in just a second. So always clean your brush when you've got that much paint on there.
