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. Deep skin tones gain striking contrast, with the bubblegum saturation lifting strongly and the shimmer reading as starlight sand against rich complexions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Best Worn For**\u003cbr\u003e\nFestival weekends, summer music events, beach holidays, garden weddings, baby showers, hen's-party manicures, sweet-sixteen and twenty-first birthday parties, summer brunches, Christmas Day lunches in warmer months, end-of-year celebrations, school formals, sun-soaked Sunday markets, and any occasion calling for cheerful saturated pink rather than soft restrained romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nPair with a sun-bleached white cream for high-low summer contrast that lets Lake Hillier dominate.

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.

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.

Both warm and cool metals work — silver and platinum read crisp against the cool undertone, while rose gold pulls the pink slightly warmer. Layer over a clean white cream base for a softer translucent direction, or apply solo for the milky pearl-pink finish in two coats. 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.

Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a healthy pink-from-within glow. Light and medium tones get a clean baby-pink lift that reads as polished without sweetness. Olive skin sees the cool pink soften against warm undertones — the silver shimmer reads brighter against golden hands.

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. Application tip: apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat — the holographic flake refracts more vividly when layered through depth, and a single thick coat tends to bury the deeper flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nAndamooka flatters every skin tone differently, and the read shifts more by lighting than by undertone. 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. Deep skin tones benefit most from the holographic mix — the rainbow flake reads as polished play-of-colour against rich complexions, with green and blue flashes lifting most clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Best Worn For**\u003cbr\u003e\nFestival weekends, summer music events, New Year's Eve countdowns, milestone birthday parties, school formals, hen's parties, modern bridal manicures with a non-traditional brief, awards evenings, gallery openings, end-of-year racing carnivals, holiday celebrations, and any occasion where the brief is movement, light-catch, and refracted colour rather than a single fixed metallic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nLayer over a deep navy cream for a true matrix-opal-on-velvet effect that lets the rainbow fire pop.

The flake is fine holographic glitter, calibrated to refract a different wavelength at every angle — pink, green, blue, gold, and silver flashes appear at different depths as the hand moves. The clear base lets the natural nail read through the polish, so the holographic flake reads as suspended fire rather than coverage. Light reflects off the flake at multiple depths to mimic the play-of-colour of polished matrix opal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Birdcage is colour-coded by season: rose gold and blush dominate the marquee linens, fascinator fields, and confetti cannons that mark every winning sprint.

The Adnyamathanha people, the traditional custodians of the land, have moved through this country for over 50,000 years; the pound itself was formed in deep geological time when sediment beds folded into a near-perfect oval rim. This shade captures the quartzite at twilight: a warm taupe-grey base with a cool mauve undertone, lifted by fine silver flake that mimics the way mica catches the last of the light against shadowed rock. The base sits in the smoky middle ground between grey and mauve — closer to dust, weathered concrete, and stormcloud than to true silver — and the shimmer is dense enough that the polish reads as living rather than flat.

Lake Gairdner takes its name from the third-largest salt pan in Australia, lying in remote South Australia north-west of Port Augusta — 160 kilometres of dazzling white salt stretched flat across a basin so still it is used for land-speed-record attempts run by Dry Lakes Racers Australia. When the sun catches the salt crust at the right angle, the pan turns into a continuous mirror, and the air above it shimmers with heat-haze diamonds. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Black opals display a dark body tone shot through with sudden flashes of teal, green, blue, and red fire, and this shade captures the deepest of those flashes: a saturated jewel-teal base alive with fine silver-teal shimmer. The base sits at the cool end of teal — closer to peacock and malachite than to tropical turquoise — and the suspended flake catches the light at multiple depths to mimic the inner fire of a polished black opal turning under a jeweller's loupe.

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.

For nail art, leave one accent finger in Argyle and run a chrome line, or pull a French tip in pure metallic over a creamy nude.

The shade accepts minimal geometric work, negative space designs, and thin metallic accents with quiet elegance. Seasonal versatility spans entire year, though it resonates particularly with spring and summer when cooler tones become more naturally appealing.

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.
