You will need:

  • Brown gel polish.
  • Glossy gel polish top coat.
  • Gel polish cleanser.
  • Clear acrylic powder.
Step 1
Prep the nail, then apply two layers of brown gel polish, curing after each application.
Step 2
Apply a glossy gel polish top coat. Cure, then use a gel polish cleanser to remove the tacky inhibition layer.
Step 3
Using the same brown gel polish, paint thin swirls over the nail surface. Do not cure.
Step 4
Sprinkle clear acrylic powder over the uncured gel polish, ensuring every area is completely covered. Fully cure.
Step 5
Lightly brush off the excess powder to reveal a textured suede pattern.
