Mardi Gras Scarlet - 36 - Professional Biab builder gel - 15ml
Vibrant, celebratory, and rooted in Sydney's legendary harbour celebrations, Mardi Gras Scarlet is a true scarlet-red with unmistakable presence and joy. This is the colour of confidence in its purest form—a bright, saturated red that sits at the heart of one of Australia's most iconic cultural moments. The builder gel formula ensures colour intensity while providing the strength and durability serious professionals demand.
This shade refuses subtlety. Wear Mardi Gras Scarlet when you want to own the room—when your work speaks for itself and your nails need to match your conviction. The BIAB structure supports extended wear and bold colour saturation, while the creamy application ensures flawless results without compromise. Perfect for those who lead rather than follow.

Best Worn For: Creative direction meetings, festival appearances, leadership events, charity galas, party hosting, performance nights
Pairs With: Kakadu Sunset (No. 35), Lightning Ridge (No. 41)
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.
