Mulga Timber - 52 - Professional Gel Polish 15ml

Colour Story & Identity

Deep, grounded, and inherently sophisticated. Mulga Timber draws inspiration from the dense, dark wood of the mulga tree, native to Australia's inland regions and prized for its richness, durability, and warm-brown density. This deep warm grey-brown carries the same sense of permanence and natural beauty as aged mulga timber—a colour that speaks of substance and quiet strength. The shade sits at the intersection of brown and grey, with warm undertones that prevent it from appearing cold or ashy. What makes this colour distinctive is its versatility across contexts; it reads as both professional and artistic, both formal and approachable. The cream finish amplifies the richness without adding glitter or shine, allowing the pure, warm-toned pigment to perform. This is a colour for those who understand that depth and restraint often command more respect than brightness.

Wear Experience & Styling

Mulga Timber is the sophisticated everyday colour for those who value substance over trends. Wear it to professional settings, casual outings, creative workspaces, and anywhere a grounded, artistic aesthetic is appreciated. Pair it with charcoal, black, cream, camel, and warm rust tones for maximum impact. Complement with warm bronze, copper, or gold jewellery. For nail art, try a metallic bronze or copper accent nail for warm contrast, or a delicate cream outline for subtle sophistication. The colour suits all seasons but particularly shines in autumn and winter months when deeper tones dominate. Apply in two coats for optimal depth and coverage—the self-levelling formula ensures an even, professional finish without pooling.

Skin Tones: Mulga Timber performs beautifully on all skin tones, though it creates particular striking contrast on fair and light skin where the depth of the colour becomes most apparent. On medium, tan, and deep skin tones it reads as warmly harmonious and grounding. Warm and olive undertones benefit from this shade, as the warm brown-grey tones complement natural skin warmth without competing.

Best Worn For: Daily office wear, professional presentations, creative workspaces, autumn and winter social events, casual-formal occasions, gallery and museum visits, weekend outings, and professional contexts where understated sophistication is valued.

Pairs With: A soft cream or taupe for a warm, neutral French twist. A warm gold shimmer on accent nails for subtle luxury. A black or charcoal on alternating nails for dramatic contrast. A burnt sienna on the ring finger for warm, artistic depth.

About the Finish: The cream finish on Mulga Timber creates a smooth, dense surface that emphasises the richness of the pigment. Light diffuses evenly across the nail without creating shine or reflection. The effect is sophisticated and intentional, suggesting professional quality and substance. The finish reinforces the grounded, natural aesthetic inspired by timber.

Colour Type: Mulga Timber is classified as a deep warm grey-brown, positioned in the black-and-grey family with distinctly warm undertones that prevent it from appearing cold. The colour is fully saturated and opaque, appearing darker and more sophisticated than simple taupe. It leans warm despite the grey component, making it more accessible and less clinical than pure greyscale. It is fully opaque and professional.
