"I'm Judy Frank for Expert Village and we're going to do some nail art today. Alright, =I'm looking over the nails and I'm just looking at the colors that we've got so far and I think I want to add a tad bit of red so I might just, on the dry brush side, get a little bit of that red paint, knock some of it off, and just do a tad bit. I just want it to have a little bit more pizzazz at the end of my scene here. Okay, what I'm doing is I'm just dry brushing this red on here and I just want to add a little bit just to give it a little more dimension because the end result is where this is going to show up, not so much right now. We're just going to keep blending these colors down. This is more of a dry brush technique with this red. So I'm just loosely laying it on there. And I'm going to look back and I definitely need to add a little bit more yellow because yellow is a sunset color and I'm going to pick up a little bit of white with this yellow now just to lighten it up so it's not so dark. And I'll dry brush this on too so you just want to make sure your paint's loaded in your brush, knock some of it off. Now you can see it's a little much but it doesn't matter. There's no mistakes in this, you just keep going. And it looks better at the end when you see the finished result because this is not going to look like candy corn when we're done. It's going to look like a sunset. And I know it can look kind of funny with all these layers going down right now but it's coming together really good. So what we're going to do next is we're going to start to add the mountains. And the mountains are going to be purple."
