"I'm Judy Franck, for Expert Village, and we are going to be doing some nail art today. Ok, I want to talk a little about my water pot too, this little thing I've been using this thing for years its perfect, cause it's just a little clay pot, it holds water perfectly and I don't mind if it gets all gooped up and it doesn't matter to me , but the thing is, it's nice and heavy so I wont tip it over getting in and out of here. So I hope I don't tip it over today. So I don't have like, the first time here, but anyway, this is my little water pot. And I like to have a little rag down, so I can wipe my paint and I like a wet rag virus a dry rag, just helps me keep my paint wet so it doesn't dry out in my brush. So what we are going to do is, I'm just going to show you the steps of how we get our background going here and I like to get the paint brush wet, get all the excess paint off cause sometimes water will sit up in the little shaft and if the water sits in that shaft and you point your brush down that water will fall out of there on your nail and you don't want that, if it should happen, you can always just blot your paint on your nail and pull the water right off, if you catch it quick enough and it wont mess up the nail art you've already done. So I want to make sure we don't have any water in there, sometimes you just to make sure you can put it down on your dry paper towel just to double check. So we are going to start with the background."
