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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From October through January, bottlebrush flowers fire across the continent in vivid red bursts, drawing rainbow lorikeets and spinebill honeyeaters in for nectar.

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 result is the most balanced, classically-Australian red in the OPAL gel range: a colour that signals the inland landscape and the kind of editorial confidence that needs no surrounding palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nSturt is the year-round true red of the OPAL collection — neither cool fashion-red nor warm summer-coral, sitting cleanly between.

For nail art, French-tip in clean ivory cream over Sturt for a contemporary high-femme tip, or paint a single black accent down the centre as a homage to the desert pea's signature black eye.

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 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.

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.

Snow Gum takes its name from *Eucalyptus pauciflora* — the most resilient eucalypt in Australia, growing higher than any other tree in the southern hemisphere across the Snowy Mountains, the Victorian Alps, and the Tasmanian highlands. 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 result is the warmest, most textural silver in the OPAL gel range: a quieter cousin to high-occasion mirror metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nSnow Gum is the silver to wear when full chrome feels too cold and starlight feels too celebratory.

For nail art, run a single sage-green leaf detail down each centre, or French-tip in soft cream over Snow Gum for a contemporary alpine pairing.

Pilbara takes its name from the vast iron-ore region in Western Australia's north — 500,000 square kilometres of red rock and red dust, holding some of the oldest exposed geology on earth at 3.6 billion years. 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. The result is the most grounded, earth-rich shade in the OPAL gel range: a confident statement red without the brightness of a fashion red, made for adults who know what suits them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nPilbara is the autumn-and-winter red of the OPAL collection — deeper and warmer than the bright reds, more saturated than the nudes.

For nail art, run a thin gold-leaf detail down the centre, or French-tip in a clean cream over Pilbara for a contemporary tip.

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.

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.

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.

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. A single coat already glints; two coats deliver full silver-on-velvet coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Wear Experience \u0026amp; Styling**\u003cbr\u003e\nCrux is built for occasion and accent in equal measure. Wear solo for celebration nails, or layer over any shade in the OPAL catalogue to convert it into a metallic. Pair with sequins, silk satin, leather, or any hardware-heavy jewellery — both warm and cool metals work because the flake itself reads neutral-silver rather than icy. 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. Application tip: tap the brush vertically rather than dragging — vertical placement keeps the larger reflective flakes lying flat instead of standing on edge, giving a smoother mirror-like cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Skin Tones**\u003cbr\u003e\nCrux is genuinely universal. Fair and porcelain skin tones gain a frost-bright lift. Light and medium tones get a clean silver brightness without the cold pull of true chrome. Olive skin sees the silver settle into a warmer pewter glow against golden undertones. Tan and deep skin tones benefit most — the silver flake lights up against rich complexions like stars against a dark sky.\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, and any occasion where the directive is shimmer-forward, light-catching, and unapologetically celebratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Pairs With**\u003cbr\u003e\nPair with a clean black gel for a classic monochrome contrast that lets Crux do the heavy lifting.

Lightning Ridge takes its name from the small New South Wales opal-mining town 700km north-west of Sydney — the only place on earth where the rare black opal is pulled from the ground in commercial quantity, and the spiritual heart of the gemstone OPAL is named for. 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. The result reads as a true precious-stone moment: rich, mineral, deeply considered.

For nail art, run a thin gold line down each centre or French-tip in a contrasting caramel cream for high-femme drama.

This shade captures that exact bird-on-wing palette: a powdery petal-pink base flecked with fine silver-white shimmer that catches the light like the underside of a wing in flight. The base sits slightly cool of centre — closer to fairy-floss and rose quartz than to coral — and the shimmer reads as silver dust rather than glitter.

For nail art, run a hand-painted silver line down the centre, or French-tip in clean white over a Galah base for a contemporary milkmaid look.
