Crystal Opal - 29 - Professional Biab builder gel - 15ml
Soft, ethereal, and quietly precious. Named after the rare translucent opal variety treasured by collectors, this pale mauve-lavender carries the delicate luminescence of gemstones held to light. The builder gel formula strengthens nails while this creamy, subtle shade delivers gentle colour that feels both feminine and sophisticated.
Wear this when you want something with presence that reads as understated elegance. BIAB's structural system means stronger nails that support longer wear while this pale creamy finish maintains consistent luminosity through the growth cycle. The shade suits those who appreciate beauty in restraint and refinement in subtlety.
Skin Tones: Fair to medium complexions with cool undertones; equally beautiful on deeper skin with pink undertones.
Best Worn For: Bridal wear, formal occasions, creative workspaces, intimate dinners, refined casual styling, personal reflection.
Pairs With: Waratah Blush (No. 22), Boronia (No. 24)
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.
