Kalgoorlie takes its name from the Western Australian gold-mining town 600 kilometres east of Perth in the goldfields region — the heart of Australia's gold-rush history and home to the Super Pit on the Golden Mile, the largest open-pit gold mine in Australia. Since prospector Paddy Hannan struck gold here in 1893 the Golden Mile has produced over 50 million ounces of gold, making Kalgoorlie one of the most significant gold deposits in the world. This shade captures that exact polished-bullion-from-rock moment. The base sits at the warm antique end of gold — closer to oxidised yellow gold and aged-coin patina than to bright yellow leaf or cool white gold — and the suspended flake is a layered mix: dense fine gold microshimmer fills the body of the gel for a continuous glow, while scattered larger gold fragments lift the finish into chunky polished sparkle. The result reads as gold poured into rock and then polished smooth: warm, weighty, and luxurious without slipping into costume territory. A single coat already glints; two coats deliver full saturated bullion coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nKalgoorlie is full-statement metallic — wear it when the brief calls for warmth and weight rather than restraint. Pair with cream silk, oxblood velvet, charcoal tailoring, leather, dark green knits, or any rich palette that benefits from a warm metallic anchor. Yellow gold and antique brass jewellery especially flatter the warm undertone, and rose gold reads as a sister metal. Layer over a black gel base for a brighter polished-bullion effect, or apply solo over a clear builder for natural reflectivity. For nail art, French-tip in clean cream over Kalgoorlie for a contemporary gold-tip, or run a single accent finger across four oxbloods or deep greens for jewel-tone drama. Application tip: tap the brush vertically rather than dragging — vertical placement keeps the larger gold fragments lying flat instead of standing on edge, giving a smoother polished-bullion cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nKalgoorlie reads warmest on warm and neutral undertones, and especially well on medium-to-deep complexions. Light Peachy and neutral skin tones get a polished gold lift that reads as fine jewellery rather than overt costume. Medium and golden-undertoned skin tones see the warm gold come forward — the shade flatters golden complexions in the same way warm-yellow gold jewellery does. Olive skin glows in this shade, with the warm bullion settling handsomely against olive undertones. Deep skin tones benefit most — the saturated gold lights up against rich complexions like polished bullion against velvet, and the chunky flake reads as polished jewellery against skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Best Worn For**\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Year's Eve countdowns, festive long lunches, milestone birthday parties, end-of-year racing carnivals, opera and gala evenings, awards nights, festive Christmas dinners, modern bridal manicures with a non-traditional brief, gallery openings, and any occasion where the directive is shimmer-forward warmth and polished bullion rather than soft restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nPair with a deep oxblood or burgundy for a true festive jewel-and-bullion drama.

Lake Hillier takes its name from the saline lake on Middle Island in the Recherche Archipelago off the south coast of Western Australia — one of only a handful of naturally-pink lakes on earth, and the most vivid example of the phenomenon anywhere in the world. The lake's bubblegum-pink colour comes from a specific combination of salt-loving algae (*Dunaliella salina*) and pink halobacteria thriving in the hypersaline water, and the colour is so saturated that it remains pink even when the water is bottled and held up to clear daylight. From the air, Lake Hillier reads as a flat slick of bubblegum pink set against a thin border of white salt and the deep blue Southern Ocean — one of the most photographed natural sights in Western Australia. This shade captures that exact aerial moment. The base sits at the bright, saturated end of pink — closer to bubblegum and watermelon flesh than to rose or coral — and the suspended shimmer is very fine silver-white microflake, dispersed to read as sun-on-salt-crust catching light rather than overt glitter. The result is the brightest, most playful pink in the OPAL gel range: a shade that reads cheerful without sweetness, statement without shouting, and confident enough to anchor a summer outfit on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nLake Hillier is built for warm-weather statement and high-summer wear. Pair with white cotton, raffia, denim, sun-bleached linen, mint or sky-blue knits, or any holiday-leaning palette where bright happens easily. Both warm and cool metals work — silver and platinum read crisp against the cool pink, while gold pulls slightly warmer for a sunset-on-salt-flat direction. Layer over a clean white cream base for a softer translucent watermelon direction, or apply solo for full bubblegum saturation. For nail art, French-tip in white cream over Lake Hillier for a contemporary candy tip, or run a single accent finger across four neutral creams for a controlled bright moment. Application tip: cure each coat for the full 60 seconds — the saturated pink pigment benefits from longer cure to lock in the bubblegum brightness without shifting cooler under top coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nLake Hillier flatters every skin tone, with the brightest read on warm and neutral undertones in summer light. Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a healthy cherry-blossom flush. Light and medium tones get a clean summer-pink lift that reads as holiday tan-companion. Olive skin sees the bright pink come forward strongly against warm undertones, and the silver microshimmer reads as polished sea salt on the skin.

The shimmer is very fine silver-white microflake, dispersed evenly through the formula so the polish reads as a glossy bright pink in low light and only flashes silver when caught directly.

Jarrah takes its name from *Eucalyptus marginata* — Western Australia's signature hardwood, growing only in the south-west corner of the continent and prized worldwide for its deep mahogany grain. Jarrah timber has built railway sleepers from London to Cape Town, paved Victorian-era streetscapes in Britain, and floored heritage homes across Perth and Fremantle for over a century. When the timber is freshly cut it reads almost orange, but with age and oil finish it deepens into a saturated chocolate-red with a fine copper-bronze figure running through the grain that catches light from across a room. This shade captures that exact aged-and-oiled jarrah moment. The base sits at the deepest end of warm brown — closer to mahogany, polished hardwood, and dark chocolate than to milk-coffee or rust — and the suspended flake is fine warm copper-bronze microshimmer, dispersed densely enough to read as the metallic figure of polished grain rather than as scattered glitter. The result is the most grounded, material-rich shade in the OPAL gel range: a colour that reads as heritage timber rather than fashion brown, made for adults who value craft, weight, and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nJarrah is the autumn-and-winter occasion brown of the OPAL collection — deeper than a soft cocoa, warmer than a cool espresso, more material than a fashion mahogany. Pair with camel-coat tailoring, cream cashmere, denim, leather, terracotta knits, oxblood velvet, or any earth-toned palette anchored in warmth. Both warm and cool metals work, but yellow gold and antique brass especially flatter the copper undertone. Layer over a creamy nude base for a softer chocolate direction, or apply solo for full mahogany saturation. For nail art, run a thin gold-leaf line down the centre of each nail, or French-tip in soft ivory cream over Jarrah for a contemporary timber tip.

Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a striking heritage-warmth contrast that reads considered rather than heavy. Light and medium tones get a polished autumn companion that flatters every season from late March through August. Olive skin sees the warm chocolate come forward and the copper shimmer settle beautifully against golden undertones — the shade was practically made for olive complexions. Deep skin tones glow in this shade, with the warm mahogany reading as polished bronze hardwood against rich complexions and the copper flake catching light like grain figure under lamplight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Best Worn For**\u003cbr\u003e\nAutumn weddings, winter dinners, festive long lunches, gallery openings, opera and theatre nights, end-of-financial-year corporate events, weekend markets in cooler months, Mother's Day brunches in autumn, log-fire weekends, anniversary dinners, milestone birthdays, and any occasion calling for grounded warmth and material-rich depth rather than bright fashion red or cool fashion brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nPair with a soft buttery cream for a high-low autumn-palette contrast that lets Jarrah dominate.

Fairy Floss takes its name from the iconic Australian colloquialism for spun sugar — known elsewhere as cotton candy or candy floss, but in Australia spelt and named for the fairy-tale wisp of pink it most resembles. Generations of Australian children first encountered it at sideshow alley: the Royal Easter Show in Sydney, the Royal Adelaide Show, the Brisbane Ekka, the Perth Royal, and every regional country show in between, where vendors spin warm sugar onto paper cones until it builds into a soft cloud the colour of dawn. This shade captures that exact spun-sugar moment. The base is a milky baby pink — clean, slightly cool of centre, sitting closer to spun sugar and rose quartz than to coral or fuchsia — and the suspended shimmer is very fine silver-white microflake, dispersed to read as sugar dust catching fairground light rather than as overt glitter. The result is the most playful pink in the OPAL gel range: a colour that feels celebratory without statement, sweet without sugariness, and confident enough to wear from a brunch date through to a hen's afternoon.

For nail art, French-tip in clean white cream over Fairy Floss for a contemporary milkmaid look, or run a single accent finger across four neutral creams.

Andamooka takes its name from the small outback opal-mining town in northern South Australia, 600 kilometres north-west of Adelaide on the edge of Lake Torrens — the only place on earth commercially mining the rare matrix opal, where rainbow play-of-colour sits suspended in translucent host rock rather than sitting on its surface. Hold a polished Andamooka matrix opal up to the light and the stone reads as a clear, frosted window with sudden flashes of pink, green, blue, and gold appearing at depth as the angle shifts. This shade captures that exact stone-as-window moment. The base is a clear gel — the natural nail still reads through — and the suspended flake is fine holographic glitter packed densely into the formula, calibrated to flash a different colour every time the hand moves. From one angle the dominant flash is silver-white. Tilt the hand and pink emerges. Catch direct sunlight and the green and blue come up. The overall read sits cool-of-neutral but never reads as a fixed colour, because the holographic flake refracts whichever wavelength is strongest at any given moment. The result is the most dimensional finish in the OPAL gel range: a polish that reads less as a single shade than as a controlled flash of light. A single coat already throws colour; two coats deliver maximum density without blocking the natural-nail base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nAndamooka is a celebration shade — wear it when the occasion calls for movement and light. Pair with sequins, satin, leather, mesh, raw silk, or any festival-leaning palette that benefits from refracted light catching it. Both warm and cool metals work because the flake refracts every wavelength in turn — so gold, silver, rose gold, and copper jewellery all sit cleanly. Layer over a deep navy or oxblood cream for an opal-on-velvet effect where the rainbow fire pops against deep base, or apply solo over clear builder for transparent rainbow glitter on the natural nail. For nail art, French-tip in Andamooka over a clean white cream for a contemporary holographic tip, or run a single accent finger across four creams for a controlled flash moment.

Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a frost-bright lift with strong cool-pink flashes coming forward. Light and medium tones get a clean rainbow shimmer that flatters cool and warm undertones equally — pink reads stronger on cool hands, gold reads stronger on warm hands. Olive skin sees the warmer flashes settle handsomely against golden undertones, with copper and gold pulling forward.

Birdwatchers know the species by that ring alone: a glint of silver against soft-feathered grey, easy to miss until the light catches it. This shade captures that exact glint-against-soft moment. The base is a clear, light-filled gel — the natural nail still reads through — and the suspended flake is mixed: dense fine silver microshimmer fills the body of the gel, while larger mirror-bright fragments scatter at random for chunkier flash. The overall read sits warm-of-neutral — closer to brushed sterling and weathered platinum than to icy chrome — and the result is a topper-and-statement hybrid.

Barossa takes its name from the Barossa Valley — the 13,000-hectare wine region 60 kilometres north-east of Adelaide that has produced some of the world's most acclaimed Shiraz for over 175 years. Settled by Silesian and German immigrants in the 1840s, the Barossa is now home to the oldest continuously-producing Shiraz vineyards on earth, including the legendary 1843 Old Garden Mourvèdre at Cirillo Estate. This shade captures a glass of Penfolds Grange held against candlelight: a deep wine-red base with the warm bruise-violet undertones of fully-ripened Shiraz, fully pigmented and self-levelling, finishing to a clean glossy wet-stone shine. The base sits between burgundy and oxblood — closer to a cellared Aussie Shiraz than to bright cherry red — and the cream finish reads as polished depth without shimmer interruption.

Sturt takes its name from Sturt's Desert Pea (*Swainsona formosa*) — the Northern Territory's floral emblem since 1961, named for the colonial explorer Charles Sturt who first documented the flower while mapping the inland river systems in the 1840s. The desert pea grows across the arid centre of the continent — South Australia, the NT, western Queensland, and inland WA — bursting into bloom each spring after winter rain in vivid scarlet petals with prominent jet-black centres. Indigenous Arrernte and Pitjantjatjara peoples have known the flower for tens of thousands of years; today it remains one of the most photographed wildflowers in Australian botany. This shade captures the pure red of those petals at peak bloom: a true mid-bright red, neither cool nor warm-leaning, fully pigmented and self-levelling, finishing to a clean glossy mirror surface. The base sits at the colour-wheel centre of red — precisely between Waratah's deeper crimson and Bottlebrush's warm vermilion — and the cream finish reads as polished depth without shimmer interruption.

The riberry has a tart, clove-like flavour that has made it a favourite of contemporary native-cuisine chefs, appearing in everything from bushfood jams to cellar-door pairing sauces.

This shade captures that exact mirror-pan moment: a dense uniform silver base packed end-to-end with fine silver flake, polished to a continuous metallic surface rather than scattered sparkle. The base sits cool of centre — closer to brushed sterling and polished platinum than to warm pewter — and the flake is dense enough that a single coat reads as fully metallic, with no breaks or gaps in coverage. The result is the most reflective shade in the OPAL gel range: a true mirror finish that catches light like a polished sheet of silver across the back of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nLake Gairdner is full statement, not subtle layering. Wear it solo for high-occasion silver nails, or pair it with cool-tone tailoring, leather, sequins, and silver hardware. Black tie, charcoal velvet, ivory satin, and platinum jewellery all sit cleanly against the cool mirror finish — both warm and cool metals work because the silver itself reads neutral. Layer over a black gel base for an even brighter mirror cure, or apply solo over a clear builder for natural reflectivity. For nail art, French-tip with a clean black for chrome contrast, or run a single accent finger across four creams. Application tip: cap the free edge generously — the dense flake can wear thin at the tips first, and a sealed edge extends wear by several days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nLake Gairdner is universal across every skin tone. Fair and porcelain skin tones gain editorial brightness without coldness. Light and medium tones get a clean mirror sheen that flatters cool and warm undertones equally. Olive skin sees the silver settle into a slightly warmer pewter glow against golden undertones.

Broome takes its name from the pearling town on the Kimberley coast of Western Australia — the historic capital of the Australian South Sea pearl industry, where for over a century divers have brought up *Pinctada maxima* oysters from the warm waters of Roebuck Bay. South Sea pearls are the largest and most valuable pearls on earth, and their distinctive luster is exactly what this shade captures: a milky translucent base with subtle warm-cool iridescence, lifted by very fine silver micro-shimmer that reads as inner glow rather than overt sparkle. The base sits cool of centre — closer to fresh cream and mother-of-pearl than to ivory or champagne — and the shimmer is restrained enough that the polish reads as a glossy luminous milk in low light and only flashes when caught directly. The result is the most subtle shimmer in the OPAL gel range: a near-clear shade that adds quiet luminosity without changing the natural nail's tone, and the most flexible topper in any nail kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nBroome is built for two distinct moments — wear it as a stand-alone bridal or formal manicure where understatement is the brief, or layer it over any cream in the OPAL range to add a soft pearl-luster topper without altering the base colour.

For nail art, hand-paint a single fine line in chrome silver down each centre, or French-tip in soft milk over a clear base for a contemporary pearl-tip look. Application tip: apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat — the shimmer lifts more visibly when layered through depth, and a single thick coat tends to sink the flake to the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nBroome is genuinely universal and acts more as an enhancer than a colour.

For two months a year, the trees drop their bell-shaped flowers in carpets thick enough to walk across, and the country looks briefly as though it has been dipped in violet ink. This shade captures that exact bloom-on-bough moment: a saturated jewel-purple base alive with dense silver-white shimmer that catches the light like sunlight through a flowering canopy. The base sits cool of centre — closer to electric purple and royal violet than to warm aubergine — and the shimmer reads as broken sunlight rather than fine glitter.

Crux takes its name from the official astronomical title of the Southern Cross — the constellation that has guided Australian and Polynesian navigators for over forty thousand years and sits at the centre of the Australian flag. Crux is the brightest small constellation in the southern sky, and on clear nights deep in the outback it looks less like five stars than a scatter of crushed silver across velvet. This shade captures that exact celestial moment: a clear, light-filled base packed dense with fine silver and platinum flake, layered with larger mirror-bright fragments that lift and flash from any angle. The result reads as pure starlight on the nail — luminous rather than chrome, dimensional rather than flat. It is the hardest-working shade in any kit: a stand-alone statement, a celebratory accent, a layering tool for dressing up creams, or a French-tip on its own over a clean nude.

For nail art, French-tip in Crux over a creamy nude for a modern silver tip, or run a single-finger accent against four creams.

Argyle takes its name from the legendary Argyle mine in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia — for four decades the world's only commercial source of the rare pink diamond, now sealed shut and prized by collectors from Tokyo to Geneva. This shade captures the exact moment light catches a polished pink diamond face-on: a soft rose blush layered with dense rose-gold metallic flake that lifts and scatters under any lighting. The base sits on the warm champagne side of rose — closer to petal than to fuchsia — and the suspended fragments shift between rose gold, antique copper, and burnished pink depending on the angle. The result reads as celebratory rose gold rather than novelty glitter: shimmer that whispers occasion rather than shouts. It is a dressed-up nude, a soft metal, and a love letter to the rarest stone in Australia's mining history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nArgyle is a finishing flourish — wear it on the eve of something worth remembering.

Tamborine Blossom draws inspiration from the native wildflowers and cultivated gardens that flourish across Mount Tamborine in Queensland's scenic hinterland, where lush botanical gardens display blooms in warm peachy-coral and rose tones. This sophisticated dusty coral captures that botanical aesthetic—a colour that feels pulled from a nature artist's palette rather than created artificially. The shade sits between coral and burnt-rose, with warm, romantic undertones that create softness rather than boldness. What makes this colour distinctive is its balance between saturation and mutedness; while coral shades can appear harsh or overly tropical, Tamborine Blossom maintains an artistic, gallery-worthy quality.

For nail art, try a delicate peachy-coral ombre into cream, or a soft watercolour effect for artistic, organic appeal.
