OPALLAC GEL POLISH OASIS PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Indulge in an oasis of colour, get your nails Summer-ready and escape to paradise with the NEW Opallac Oasis palette!

I talk about Opallac a lot on my socials, but incase you didn't know, Opallac is an Australian DIY gel polish system promising glamorous salon quality gel nails. The unique Opallac Gel polish formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp.

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home! Opallac is also proudly Vegan, Cruelty free and 10-free!!

Today I am reviewing the 4 fun gel polish shades that make up the Oasis Palette :) 

  TROPICANA  

Tropicana is a pink neon-pastel gel polish shade.

It should come as no surprise that this is my favourite from the palette! I mean come on! Just look at it! *heart eyes*

  VACAY  

Vacay is a yellow neon-pastel gel polish shade.

What a pretty shade of yellow. This would look SO GOOD on darker skin tones! OMG!

  SUNSET  

Sunset is an orange neon-pastel gel polish shade.

I can see myself wearing this all Summer! Just imagine laying by the pool with this on your toes! 

  BEACHSIDE   

Beachside is a mint green neon-pastel gel polish shade.

Love it! I am almost certain this shade will have people asking what is on your nails! A crowd pleaser for sure! So pretty!

*  *  * 

This colour palette is absolutely PERFECT for Summer! Are they neon? Are they pastel? They're a combination of both and I LOVE IT!!! My swatches do no justice! I have been wearing a skittle mani of the four shades all week and I cannot stop staring at my nails! I am genuinely so OBSESSED!!!

As per usual, Opallac have NAILED IT with their colour selection and formulas! I just adore how effortless Opallac polishes apply and cure, in a matter of minutes, under the Opallac LED nail lamp - it's seriously so quick and easy! All 4 shades in this palette are beautifully opaque in two thin easy coats. A ++

As always, I highly recommend trying Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products.

A fantastic option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home - literally no skills required for application or removal!

OPALLAC X METTLE GLOW PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Time for some cool new gel polish! Introducing the NEW heart-warming Opallac x Mettle GLOW palette!

I talk about Opallac a lot on my socials, but incase you didn't know, Opallac is an Australian gel polish system promising glamorous salon quality gel nails, that you can DIY in the comfort of your home. The unique Opallac Gel polish formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp.

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home! Opallac is also proudly Vegan, Cruelty free and 10-free!!

The GLOW palette is no ordinary Opallac gel polish palette - this palette was curated in collaboration with women's charity gift shop Mettle.

Mettle strive to employ women who have experienced homelessness as a result of domestic and family violence. Profits from every GLOW palette sold will be donated directly to Mettle from Opallac. This money will go towards providing a stable income, nurturing work training, and support in accessing safe housing for vulnerable women; to enable them to take steps towards the safe future they rightfully deserve. 

Today I will be reviewing the 4 inspiring gel polish shades that make up the NEW Opallac GLOW Palette in collaboration with women's charity Mettle :)

  STRENGTH  

Strength is a dusky sea-foam green gel polish shade. 

This would be PERFECT for Autumn / Winter time, if you match your nails to the seasons. 

Great Opallac formula we all know and love! 

Opaque in 1 - 2 thin easy coats!

  POWER  

Power is a dusky mauve purple gel polish shade. 

I adore this shade of purple! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Formula is, surprise surprise, perfect! 

Opaque in 1 thin easy coat!

  BEAUTY  

Beauty is a copper-pink-rose gold finely milled glitter with tiny holographic specs scattered throughout it. 

WOWZA!!! Can we please take a moment to appreciate this beauty...I mean come on!!! Is this real?! I have no words!

This has a great glitter to base ratio, not too chunky on the nail and easily buildable! Would look great as an accent nail or as a full mani like how I've worn it here - SO PRETTY!!! 

My swatch shows 2 thin coats.

  COURAGE  

Courage is a slightly greyed-out / off-white gel polish shade.

So elegant and classy! Looks white on your nails but not as stark and as obnoxious as white out. Think OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls but with a much better formula, AND its gel! 

Opaque in 1 - 2 thin easy coats!

*  *  * 

Ok, it's offical! I am OBSESSED with this palette! This is quite possibly my favourite Opallac palette to date! A beautiful selection of colours, with perfect formulas, that support a great cause! 

It's an A +++ from me! I've been wearing a skittle mani using the 4 shades in the palette all week and I can't stop staring at my nails and neither can my colleagues!  

It should come as no surprise that I highly recommend trying out Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products. A great option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home with literally no skills required for application or removal! I'm someone with a massive nail polish collection (shocker) and I literally only ever wear Opallac these days! You honestly just can't go wrong! So much love for the brand!

I think its time you get your hands on some new gel polish and support an amazing charity!

*  *  *

RRP: $58 AUD for the set 

The GLOW palette is exclusive to www.opallac.com

100% OF PROFITS FROM EVERY GLOW PALETTE SOLD IS DONATED DIRECTLY TO METTLE!

OPALLAC GEL POLISH ALLURE PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

It's time to take your mani to the next level with the NEW elegant and stylish Opallac Allure palette!

I talk about Opallac a lot on here, but incase you didn't know, Opallac is an Australian gel polish system promising glamorous salon quality gel nails, that you can DIY in the comfort of your home. The unique Opallac Gel polish formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp.

I have the NEW Opallac Allure Palette, made up of 4 chic gel polish shades designed to suit all skin tones, to review for you today :)

  PLUSH  

Plush is a soft baby pink gel polish shade. 

It's nothing fancy, but it's pink so you know I love it! Can you ever really go wrong with pink nails? This is a good one.

Nice formula and opaque in 2 thin easy coats.

   LAVISH    

Lavish is a warm mauve pink gel polish shade. 

I LIVE for these kinds of shades. It's sophisticated AND easy to rock at work. This is joining the ranks of Soy Capp and Faux Fur - my ultimate fave work appropriate shades. 

Fantastic formula, nice and opaque in 1 easy coat! Amazing!!!

  OPULENT  

Opulent is a chic cool grey gel polish shade. 

Ok, so I like this one a lot more than I thought I would. I find grey's can be a bit hit or miss with me but I liked this tone. I think this would look GREAT on deeper skin tones *insert heart eyes*.

Another perfect formula, opaque in 1 easy coat!

  MAJESTIC  

Majestic is a shimmery white pearl gel polish shade. 

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (did you totally just hear Fergie's voice in your head?). This is lovely! I'd personally prefer to use this as an accent to add a touch of sparkle to my nails rather than wearing this as a full manicure, but that's just me.   

It applies smooth and evenly with no brush strokes. Opaque in 2 thin easy coats.

*  *  * 

What a luxurious colour palette! Such elegant and chic nail colours with the amazing Opallac gel polish formula we know and love. I am obsessed!!! 

As per usual, I highly recommend trying out Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products.

A great option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home with literally no skills required for application or removal!

I have the NEW Opallac Neon Palette, made up of four illuminating neon gel polish shades, to review for you today :)

 LIMELIGHT 

Limelight is a neon green gel polish shade. 

WOW! JUST WOW! IT ACTUALLY GLOWS!!!!

 INTOXICATED  

Intoxicated is a neon yellow gel polish shade.

Literally the colour of a yellow highlighter! I'm fairly certain this is an Opallac re-release but you can't have a neon colour palette without a quintessential neon yellow!

 WILDFIRE 

Wildfire is a neon orange gel polish shade.

Eye-searingly bright, you will definitely need sunglasses around this shade. I LOVE IT! My camera really doesn't do this one justice!

 FLAMINGO 

Flamingo is a neon pink gel polish shade.

What dreams are made of! Who doesn't love a good bright pink? My favourite for sure!

*  *  * 

Super BOLD and bright NEON GEL nails WITHOUT needing a white base coat? WITHOUT A WHITE BASE COAT? YEAH YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! These are without a doubt the best neon nail polishes I have EVER tried!!! Opallac have seriously nailed it!!!

The formulas of these glowing neons are literal perfection! They apply so beautifully onto the nails and are all super pigmented and opaque in 1 - 2 thin EASY coats. They cure perfectly under the Opallac LED nail lamp - they even glow under the light. So SO cool! Forget your glow-sticks, your nails will light up the room at a disco rave! And did I mention they don't need a white base coat to look this bright? If you could only see these in person - the level of neon is insane!!

As always, I highly recommend trying out Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products.

A fantastic option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home - literally no skills required for application or removal!

OPALLAC GEL POLISH PASTEL PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Spring is here, which means it's time to bring out the pastels! Treat yourself to a lavish pastel mani with the NEW Opallac pastel palette!

Opallac is the Australian gel nail innovation promising glamorous salon quality gel nail colour; designed to last up to 14 days. The unique Opallac Gel formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp.

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home! Opallac is also proudly Vegan, Cruelty free and 10-free!!

I have the NEW Opallac Pastel Palette, made up of four perfectly pastel gel polish shades, to review for you today :)

 FROSTED 

Frosted is a pastel blue gel polish shade.

Who doesn't love a dreamy pastel blue? I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be obsessed with this shade. Gorgeous!

 MARSHMALLOW 

Marshmallow is a pastel pink gel polish shade.

Nothing too unique about the colour, but you can NEVER go wrong with a pastel pink, and this is a good one! So pretty!!

 LOVENDER 

Lovender is a pastel purple gel polish shade.

It's pastel. It's purple. Need I say more?.. You need it!

 BUTTERMILK 

Buttermilk is a pastel yellow gel polish shade.

Now, I don't generally rock yellow nails, as I personally think they make me look jaundice, but this one is super wearable! Such a lovely tone of yellow and has an amazing formula! I suspect this shade will be a favourite for many. Would also look great on darker skin. 

*  *  * 

I am OBSESSED with this palette! Opallac have seriously nailed it again with these perfectly plush pastels. 

As per usual, the formulas of these lavish pastels are lovely. I love how smooth and evenly Opallac polishes apply as well as how easily opaque they are - you would think that these kinds of lighter pastel shades would be difficult to apply, but all four pastels apply beautifully, are opaque in two thin easy coats, and cure perfectly under the Opallac LED nail lamp.

As always, I highly recommend trying out Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products. 

A fantastic option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home - literally no skills required for application or removal!

OPALLAC NEW SHEER SHADES - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Turn your simple mani into something sheerly stunning with the new luxurious sheer gel nail colours by Opallac.

Opallac is the Australian gel nail innovation promising glamorous salon quality gel nail colour; designed to last up to 14 days. The unique Opallac Gel formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp. 

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home! 

What more could you want? 

I have the 3 new Opallac sheer shades to review for you today :)

  DEAR SHEER  

Dear Sheer is a classic sheer pink gel nail polish shade.

I love this one! Could not stop staring at my nails when I wore it! So SO pretty!

The formula is great and it applies effortlessly! 
It isn't streaky or patchy, self-levels well, and builds up to full opacity nicely in two thin coats. Lovely!

  BARELY THERE  

Barely There is a sheer peachy nude gel nail polish shade.

A classic neutral. A crowd pleaser for sure!

The formula is great and it applies effortlessly! 

It isn't streaky or patchy, self-levels well, and builds up to full opacity nicely in two thin coats.

  FLUFFY BUNNY  

Fluffy Bunny is a milky white gel nail polish shade.

I love that this isn't your typical stark white-out white - It's so much more wearable! 

The formula of this one is slightly thicker than the rest, so it's important to apply the thinnest coats possible. It isn't streaky or patchy though, self-levels well, and builds up to full opacity nicely in two thin coats.

*  *  * 

I have been on the hunt for some good natural / sheer everyday, work appropriate polishes. In my pursuit I have noticed sheer polishes tend to apply unevenly and require lots of coats to look nice. 

I can wholeheartedly say that Opallac have nailed the sheer nail trend!
The new Opallac sheers are elegant, and the formulas are lovely (I always adore Opallac gel polish formulas, and how perfectly they cure under the Opallac LED nail lamp!)

Let's be honest, not all neutral nail polish shades suit every skin tone. But I can guarantee you that at least one of these new neutral sheers will suite you!


As per usual, I definitely recommend trying out Opallac!
