Mallee takes its name from the vast semi-arid Mallee region that stretches across north-western Victoria, south-western NSW, and the eastern wheat belt of South Australia — a 250,000-square-kilometre landscape of multi-stemmed eucalypts, sandy soils, and the kind of light that turns olive foliage into pale gold by midday. Mallee eucalypts (*Eucalyptus* species like *dumosa* and *oleosa*) grow as low ground-hugging shrubs rather than tall trees, with grey-olive leaves that flush yellow-green in spring rain and shimmer silver under summer sun. This shade captures that exact spring-flush moment: a warm yellow-green base with the soft olive cast of new mallee foliage, fully pigmented and self-levelling, finishing to a clean glossy mirror surface. The base sits warm of centre — closer to chartreuse and olive than to bright fashion lime or cool emerald — and the cream finish reads as polished depth without shimmer interruption. The result is the most distinctly Australian green in the OPAL gel range: a colour with the specific geography of dryland ecology and the kind of editorial restraint that signals nature without resorting to stereotype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nMallee is the warm-weather statement green of the OPAL collection — distinctive without being shouty, springy without being saccharine. Pair with white linen, raw cotton, soft butter yellow, denim, or any earth-tone palette where the green leads. Layer over a creamy nude base for a softer pistachio direction, or apply solo for full saturation. For nail art, French-tip in clean ivory cream over Mallee for a contemporary high-femme tip, or run a single fine gold-leaf line down the centre. Application tip: brush in long single strokes — the green pigment self-levels cleanly when applied in one direction, and cross-strokes can produce slightly visible lines before cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nMallee flatters warm and neutral undertones especially well, and reads with confidence on every skin tone. Fair and porcelain skin tones gain editorial contrast that reads as fashion-forward rather than costume. Light and medium tones get a modern spring-summer companion that warms the back of the hand. Olive skin sees the green undertone come forward and complement golden complexions naturally.

Wattle takes its name from *Acacia pycnantha* — Australia's national floral emblem since 1988, and the source of the green-and-gold that defines Australian sporting colours from cricket whites to Olympic uniforms. Golden Wattle blooms in great fragrant clouds across the continent each late winter and early spring, signalling the seasonal turn from grey to warmth in the same week year after year. National Wattle Day falls on the 1st of September. This shade captures that exact bloom moment: a warm golden-mustard base with the soft amber cast of fully-opened wattle pom-poms, fully pigmented and self-levelling, finishing to a clean glossy mirror surface. The base sits warm of centre — closer to honey, saffron, and turmeric than to bright fashion yellow or cool lemon — and the cream finish reads as polished depth without shimmer interruption.

For nail art, French-tip in clean ivory cream over Wattle for a contemporary high-femme tip, or pair with sage or olive accents as a homage to the green-and-gold Australian sporting palette.

Whitsunday takes its name from the 74 islands at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, scattered across the Coral Sea between Mackay and Townsville on Queensland's central coast. The Whitsunday Islands are surrounded by some of the clearest turquoise water in the world — protected lagoons where sunlight breaks against soft coral and white sand bottom, sending shafts of teal and blue light up to the surface. This shade captures that exact lagoon-floor moment: a bright jewel-teal base alive with multi-size flake — fine teal microshimmer fills the water, with larger blue-iridescent fragments scattered through to mimic the way mid-morning sun catches reef coral and white sand. The base sits at the brighter end of teal — closer to lagoon water and aquamarine than to deep emerald or moody peacock — and the flake mix is dense enough that the polish reads as living water rather than flat colour. The result is the most aquatic shade in the OPAL gel range: a holiday colour, a Sunday-on-a-yacht colour, a colour that pulls everyone toward summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nWhitsunday is built for warm-weather statement and tropical-wardrobe contrast.

Layer over a black gel base for an even deeper reef-water finish, or apply solo over a clear builder for jewel clarity. For nail art, run a thin gold-leaf detail down each centre, or French-tip in a clean white over Whitsunday for a contemporary tropical pairing. Application tip: apply two thin coats rather than one thick one — the layered glitter shows depth more clearly when light passes through multiple cured layers, mimicking the way reef water layers in real lagoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nWhitsunday flatters every skin tone, with the strongest read on warm undertones.

Frangipani takes its name from the heady-scented flower (*Plumeria rubra*) that grows in lazy clusters along the verandas of Far North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and the northern New South Wales coast — five soft petals in cream that flush peach-pink at the centre, the unofficial fragrance of an Australian summer holiday. This shade captures that exact petal blush: a warm milky pink base with a gentle peach undertone, lifted by very fine silver microshimmer that reads as morning dew on petals rather than overt glitter. The base sits warm of centre — closer to coral and coconut milk than to cool rose — and the shimmer is restrained enough that the polish reads as a glossy creamy pink in low light and only sparkles when caught directly. The result is the softest, most wearable pink in the OPAL gel range: a quiet shade that flatters without effort and reads as polished rather than dressed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nFrangipani is the pink to wear when the brief is *looks like nothing, looks like everything*.

Scarborough Blush takes its name and inspiration from the golden cliffs of Scarborough Beach in Western Australia, where the ochre-orange earth meets crystal water and creates one of the country's most luminous sunsets. This is a true coral-orange, warm-toned and saturated without veering into artificial territory. What makes this shade distinctive is its ability to feel energetic yet wearable—it's bold enough to make a statement but grounded enough for repeated daily wear. The undertones lean slightly toward peach, creating a flattering warmth that photographs beautifully and catches light with a natural radiance. This is the colour of Australian summer: confident, accessible, and entirely without pretence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScarborough Blush works year-round, though it truly shines during warmer months when paired with white clothing, bronze jewellery, and sun-kissed skin. Wear it to beach days, outdoor celebrations, summer weddings, and casual social gatherings where you want to feel present and energised. This shade pairs beautifully with turquoise and teal accents, gold metallics, and warm neutral clothing. For nail art, consider a watercolour fade from this blush to white on the lower nail, or delicate tropical flower designs in matching coral tones. A specific application tip: this shade has excellent self-levelling properties, so focus on even application without over-working the formula. Apply in thin, smooth strokes and let the gel settle naturally.

Ningaloo Reef Sand takes its inspiration from Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef, where soft sand beaches meet pristine turquoise water and the shoreline becomes a study in golden tones. This is a warm beige-nude with subtle peachy undertones, a colour that feels both neutral and distinctly present. What makes this shade distinctive is its luminosity—this is not a flat or muted nude, but rather a warm, glowing tone that catches light beautifully and flatters every complexion.

The shade sits as a true coral rather than a pure coral pink—it carries genuine red undertones that give it substance and heat. It's the colour of healthy coral in brilliant light, of Mediterranean warmth translated to Australia's west coast.
