Mardi Gras - 53 - Professional Biab builder gel - 15ml
Bold, unapologetic, and utterly Sydney. Mardi Gras—the annual celebration of pride and identity—inspired this hot magenta-pink that demands to be seen. The cream finish ensures the colour reads true and true alone, without shimmer or distraction. This is a shade that says exactly what it means.
Mardi Gras BIAB builder gel is for nails that need to be strong enough to match their attitude. The builder formula extends and reinforces natural nails while the cream finish maintains the purity of the colour, delivering saturation that doesn't apologize. Wear this when you're ready to be noticed.
Skin Tones: All complexions. Particularly striking on medium to deeper skin where the pink vibrates with energy; bold and beautiful on fair skin with warm undertones.
Best Worn For: Pride events, confident statements, evening wear, creative expression, celebratory moments, powerful occasions
Pairs With: Cradle Mountain (No. 51), Echidna (No. 54)
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.
