"I'm Judy Franck from Expert Village. And we're going to be doing some nail art today. Now that we've done all the nail art. And we've got the clear art in here, what I?m going to do is show you the end result. We do still have to clean up the edges which is easy with one of these polish corrector sticks. These are nice. If you can get these, these are the best tool you'll ever have as a nail tactic. Because that will clean you up so fast. Use a little bit of acetone. The lid works good. You just go ahead and dip your tip of your polish corrector pen in your acetone and what you want to do is you want to go around the whole nail make sure that you can get all the paint off. The paint will come off the first time she washes her hand but we don't want to let her walk out the door with her fingers messy. We want them to be cleaned up before she leaves. So don't let her do that later. See how this cleans up so nice and just go around the edges holding her fingers firmly so that she doesn't move or pull away because what you could do is erase your nail art too if we're not careful. Hold onto those fingers really good and just spike the edges and we are about done. Now this one is the last one. Sometimes you have to press kind of hard to get that off. But just go around the edges very carefully and we are done with our nail art. Now if you use a t-shirt like sometimes I have in the past. You can get a brush, back up your nails just a tad bit. Take your paint; you might want to use a thicker brush. Then you can do your palm trees on your paper towel today your t-shirt and then you're going to sign the bottom. And just give them the shirt with the nails. That's always fun to do. So if you have a t-shirt here and you have it lying out, it makes it really fun. So just keep that in mind, they're colors are going to go with they're nails for the next two or three weeks, however long they have them. Now these are finished. This is the end of our nail art. I don't think there's anything that we've missed on here. I think we showed you everything real well how to do this. I especially like the little surfer dude and love the palm trees. Doesn't it make you feel like you're in Hawaii? I feel like I'm vacation just looking at them. So wearing them all week or two weeks or however long she keeps them on, she'll feel like she's gone on vacation without leaving home didn't cost her a dime."
