Boronia - 24 - Professional Biab builder gel - 15ml
Muted, dimensional, and distinctly sophisticated. Inspired by the delicate burgundy-mauve blooms of the native boronia shrub found across Australia's cool forests, this muted dusty plum carries depth without darkness. The builder gel formula constructs nail strength while this creamy tone delivers understated colour that reads differently depending on light and skin tone.
This is a shade for deliberate styling—perfect on longer nails where its tonal complexity becomes apparent. BIAB's reinforcing properties mean stronger, more resilient nails that support extended wear. The creamy finish develops a natural lustre that suggests intentional elegance rather than obvious glamour.
Skin Tones: Cool to neutral complexions; particularly striking on fair and medium skin tones with pink or olive undertones.
Best Worn For: Gallery visits, sophisticated dinners, luxury retail environments, creative meetings, evening events, cultivated minimalism.
Pairs With: Cooktown Orchid (No. 28), Whitsunday (No. 32)
How To Use
Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any existing gel, polish, or product completely using an appropriate remover.
Removes natural oils, dust, and any moisture — all of which cause lifting. Then apply nail bond or primer if needed.
Apply a thin, even layer of OPAL Gel Base Coat over the entire nail. Cure immediately under your LED lamp.
Using the OPAL Builder Gel brush, scoop a small bead, place it in the centre of the nail and allow it to self-level for 2–3 seconds before spreading. Cure under LED for 60 seconds.
Apply a second, slightly larger bead for your desired strength and length extension. Cure for 60 seconds.
Using a 100/180-grit Opal nail file, shape the free edge to your desired finish — square, oval, almond, coffin, or round. Work in one direction to prevent cracking.
If applying gel polish colour, apply a thin, even first coat and cure for 60 seconds. Follow with a second coat for full opacity and cure again.
Apply OPAL Gel Top Coat in a smooth, even layer over the entire nail surface. Cap the free edge to seal the product and prevent tip wear. Cure for 60 seconds.
Pro Tip
Allow each bead to self-level for 2–3 seconds before spreading. Work in thin, controlled layers — it’s easier to add thickness than to remove it. Always cap the free edge with your top coat to prevent tip wear.
