"tI'm Judy Franck for Expert Village. And we are gonna be doing some nail art today.Ok,now we want to clean up our little surfer guy here . we want to add a little grey detail to him just to make his surf board to stand away from his body so it doesn't all blend together. I don't want to use white for that cause its too stark but a little grey will actually help tie that in. I dab the brush because I felt there was a little too much water in there and what happens is thats when you get your big water blob come out,.So dont let that happen to you. So the next thing were gonna do is take our green and make the green, the right shade, we want it to get a little tropical looking, so we don't want it to be grass green we want it to have a little limey look to it, so lets mix up the yellow and the green swirl it around to get the right color remember to keep it thin and keep rolling your brush to make it so thats theres no water in there, take it dab it if you need to, and just go back to the palm tree branches and just speck a highligh is good, you dont even need to do alot just a little bit that little bit will make a huge difference in the end its just gonna make it more fruity colored, so its a littlle bit prettier to look at and you can leave it black if you want but this green really makes it pop to me I like the little bit of green in here. I'm not following it exactly I'm just placeing a bit of paint in there just so you have a chance to draw more attention up instead of down. And you can leave it alone I'm sure most people would be fine with it black Ireally like this little green in here just enough to make it more dementional. Remember to keep looking at your brush to make sure there is no water in there and we are almost done with our trees. Now alot of times you end up with a real pretty paper towel and if you like what I have done before is I've taken a tee shirt and laid it down and patted on the teeshirt and when it's done then I put the palm tree on there you know a deliberate palm tree on my paper towel today, I'll show you, but on their teeshirt so they actually have some funky art to wear on an old teeshirt that really didnt matter and you can sign it if you want to its kinda fun."
