 -

1. Apply two thin coats of ivory gel-polish. Apply top coat.

 -

2. Use a Sharpie to create lines from the top to the bottom of the nail. The more Sharpie you add, the darker it will get.

 -

3. Make two circles and draw around them to create a knot. Make a dot in the middle of the circle.

 -

4. Using a very fine marker, define the lines. Start removing some of the color with the acetone, making it look like leaves.

 -

5. Using a green Sharpie, fill out the leaves and define them with a fine marker. Add ornaments. Apply a top coat and cure.
