  1. Apply a base coat to protect your nails. Then apply 2 coats of orange polish, allowing each to dry completely.
  2. Using a fine liner brush and dark brown polish, create the tree bark pattern. Vary the thickness and direction of the lines for a natural look. Allow to dry.
  3. Apply a thin layer of clear top coat where you want to apply the gold leaf.
  4. Gently press gold leaf flakes onto the sticky areas. Use a small brush to arrange and press down the gold leaf.
  5. Apply a final top coat to seal the design and add shine. If using matte top coat on the bark, apply carefully around the gold leaf.

Expert Tip

To create a more realistic bark texture, use a dotting tool or a crumpled piece of plastic wrap to gently dab the brown polish while it's still wet. This will create subtle indentations and variations in the bark.
