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.

The flake mix is layered — fine gold microshimmer fills the body of the gel for continuous warm sheen, and scattered larger gold fragments add chunky lift and reflective highlight.

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. Application tip: cure each coat for the full 60 seconds — the deep red-brown pigment benefits from longer cure to lock in the warm undertone and prevent the shade from shifting cooler under top coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nJarrah reads strongest on warm and neutral undertones, and especially well on medium-to-deep complexions. 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.

Silvereye takes its name from *Zosterops lateralis* — the small olive-and-grey songbird that flits in coastal scrub and garden hedgerows from Cape York down to Tasmania, marked by the bright white-silver ring of feathers that circles each eye like a tiny piece of polished metal. 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. Worn solo, it reads as transparent silver glitter on the natural nail. Layered over a cream, it converts that cream into a dimensional metallic. A single coat already glints; two coats deliver maximum scatter without blocking the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nSilvereye is built to be the most flexible piece in any nail kit — wear it solo for sheer occasion glitter, or layer it over any cream in the OPAL range to shift that shade into glitter territory without committing to opaque silver. Pair with cream silk, charcoal tailoring, ivory satin, leather, raw linen, or any hardware-heavy jewellery. Both warm and cool metals work because the flake reads neutral-silver. Layer over a deep navy or oxblood cream for a true jewel-on-velvet effect, or apply solo over clear builder for transparent glitter on the natural nail. For nail art, French-tip in Silvereye over a clean cream nude for a contemporary glitter tip, or run a single accent finger across four creams. Application tip: shake the bottle slowly for ten seconds before brushing — the larger flake settles to the bottom and needs gentle agitation, not vigorous shaking, which introduces bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nSilvereye is genuinely universal across every skin tone. Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a frost-bright lift that reads as quiet jewellery rather than full chrome. Light and medium tones get a clean silver brightness that flatters cool and warm undertones equally. Olive skin sees the silver settle into a slightly warmer pewter glow against golden undertones. Deep skin tones benefit most — the scattered silver flake lights up against rich complexions like polished sterling against velvet, and the sheer base lets natural skin tone read through the polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Best Worn For**\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Year's Eve countdowns, milestone birthday parties, festive dinners, end-of-year racing carnivals, opera and gala nights, school formals, hen's parties, awards evenings, modern bridal manicures, festival weekends, and any occasion where the brief is shimmer-forward and light-catching but doesn't need full chrome coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nLayer over a cream nude for the softest occasion glitter in the range.

Two flake sizes are layered into the formula — fine silver microshimmer fills the body of the gel, and larger mirror-bright fragments scatter at random across the surface for chunkier light-catch. Light reflects off both layers at multiple depths, producing a starlight-on-clear effect rather than the flat coverage of a fully pigmented metallic. The sheer base means the polish reads as transparent silver glitter on the natural nail and as dimensional metallic when layered over any cream. Top coat locks the finish without dulling the scatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Colour Type**\u003cbr\u003e\nNeutral-toned silver with mixed fine-and-chunky flake suspended in a clear sheer base.

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. The result is the most considered, mature shade in the OPAL gel range: a colour with the gravity of cellar-door tasting, the warmth of late autumn sunlight on barrel oak, and the kind of editorial restraint that signals taste over trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nBarossa is the autumn-and-winter statement red of the OPAL collection — deeper than any cherry, richer than terracotta, more grown-up than fashion red.

Layer over a black gel base for an even deeper near-black wine direction, or apply solo for full saturation.

The trail traces the spine of ancient quartzite ridges that turn from grey at midday into deep rust-orange at dusk, weaving past Aboriginal sacred sites known to the Western Arrernte people for over forty thousand years. This shade captures that exact dusk-rock moment: a warm rust-terracotta base with the soft brick-red cast of weathered quartzite under late afternoon light, fully pigmented and self-levelling, finishing to a clean glossy mirror surface. The base sits warm of centre — closer to brick, clay, and oxidised iron than to bright fashion orange or cool brown — and the cream finish reads as polished depth without shimmer interruption.

Bungle takes its name from the Bungle Bungles — the orange-and-black banded sandstone domes of Purnululu National Park in Western Australia's East Kimberley, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The Bungles' signature look comes from 350-million-year-old sandstone striped with bands of orange iron oxide and dark cyanobacteria, rising abruptly out of the spinifex plains in beehive-shaped domes that stand up to 300 metres tall. This shade captures the pure orange band of that sandstone at midday: a warm terracotta-rust base, fully pigmented and self-levelling, with a clean glossy finish that mimics polished Kimberley rock. The base sits between brick and burnt sienna — closer to a heated copper than to true brown — and the finish is dense enough to read fully opaque in a single coat.

Snow gum trunks are unmistakable: smooth silvery-grey trunks polished by snow and wind, dressed in flaking strips of cream, sage, and dusty rose, with a brushed pewter finish that reads almost metallic in late-afternoon light. This shade captures that exact bark moment: a brushed silver-pewter base with the warm undertone of weathered timber, lifted by fine silver flake that mimics the quartz-mica catch of granite seen through the trunks. The base sits warm of centre — closer to brushed pewter and burnished sterling than to the cool chrome of polished platinum — and the flake distribution preserves textural variation in the way bark does as it strips and renews.

The Pilbara's signature colour comes from the iron oxides in its sandstone, which turn the gorges and ranges of Karijini and the Hamersley Ranges into deep rust under midday sun and glowing brick at sunrise. This shade captures that exact iron-rich landscape moment: a saturated terracotta-rust base alive with fine warm shimmer that reads like sunlight catching iron particles in the rock. The base sits at the warm edge of red — closer to brick, oxide, and ochre than to rose or burgundy — and the suspended flake is deliberately subtle, dispersing across the surface in a way that suggests mineral depth rather than overt sparkle.
