Southern Ranges - 216 - Professional Gel Polish 15ml

Subtle, sophisticated, and grounded. Southern Ranges draws inspiration from the ancient mountain chains of southeastern Australia—the Great Dividing Range, the Snowy Mountains, and the Grampians—where cool-toned forests and weathered stone create palettes of slate, sage, and shadow. This is a cool-toned sage-grey-green with moderate saturation and medium lightness—a shade that exists between defined categories, belonging equally to green and grey families. The colour possesses remarkable versatility and depth, reading as sophisticated rather than plain, neutral rather than colourless.

Southern Ranges suits professional environments, minimalist aesthetics, and those seeking neutral complexity. Pair it with whites, creams, cool greys, and soft blues for effortless coordination. Wear with silver and white-metal jewellery to amplify the cool undertones. The shade accepts minimal geometric work, negative space designs, and thin metallic accents with quiet elegance. Seasonal versatility spans entire year, though it resonates particularly with spring and summer when cooler tones become more naturally appealing. Application note: apply in thin, even coats to reveal the subtle grey-green balance—one heavy coat may read more grey than green, while graduated thin coats develop the full colour complexity.

Skin Tones: Southern Ranges is a cool-toned neutral that flatters cool and neutral undertones across fair, light, medium, and deep complexions. Cool-toned fair skin experiences the shade as sophisticated and subtle. Light and medium skin tones enjoy the depth without heaviness. Olive skin tones benefit from the cool undertones creating gentle contrast. Deep skin tones find the moderate saturation offers visibility without appearing pale or washed.

Best Worn For: Professional corporate environments and formal business settings. Everyday minimalist styling and understated aesthetics. Transitional seasonal dressing and wardrobe foundations. Creative fields requiring subtle sophistication. Academic and intellectual pursuits. Nature-inspired styling and outdoor activities. Gallery visits and cultural venues. Neutral bases for rotating nail art designs.

Pairs With: Turquoise Crest for a cool tonal contrast. Snowy Mist for a soft, cool-toned study. Derwent Slate for layered cool-grey complexity.

About the Finish: The cream finish on Southern Ranges produces a smooth, sophisticated sheen that emphasizes the subtle grey-green balance. Light reflects evenly, creating a finish that reads as refined and professional—neither glossy nor matte, but peacefully neutral.

Colour Type: A cool-toned, muted sage-grey-green with moderate saturation and medium lightness. This is a tertiary colour blending green, grey, and blue frequencies—designed for cool undertones seeking sophisticated neutrality across professional and personal contexts.
