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.

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 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!

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 GEL POLISH DARK PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Add luxury to your next manicure withe the new deliciously rich and enticing Opallac dark gels!

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 Dark Palette four-pack to review for you today :)

SAPPHIRE

Sapphire is an inky sapphire blue gel polish shade.

There's something unique about this particular tone of blue. It's kind of jelly-like / see-through and looks squishy, in a good way. Very cool! Who doesn't love a good blue? 

Opaque in one - two thin easy* coats.

(It looks fine with one, looks even better with two).

*I'd like to note that the formula of this one is slightly thicker than the rest, but it's still super easy to apply.

CAVIAR

Caviar is a deep plum purple gel polish shade.

So dark it will most probably look black from afar, but up close you can definitely see the plum purple colour. 

I'm always such a huge fan of almost-black nails. So sexy!

My swatch shows ONE easy coat! 

You could possibly need a second coat if your nails are longer than mine.

GRANITE

Granite is a dark grey gel polish shade.

Darker then the tone of grey I tend to wear, but still such a pretty shade. I'm surprised with how much I liked this one. So luxe!

My swatch shows ONE easy coat!

EMERALD

Emerald is a deep emerald-teal green gel polish shade.

Now this is a hard one to describe - it literally looks different depending on the lighting. I want to say its more of a teal green then emerald. Either way it's beautiful. Possibly my favourite from the lot! So pretty!

Opaque in one - two thin easy coats.

(It looks fine with one, looks even better with two).

*  *  * 

Let's be honest, wearing dark polish comes with it's hassles. As much as I LOVE rocking a good blue and basically any almost-black shade, I always question whether the application struggle is worth it. 

"I'm going to make a mess", "It's going to bleed into my cuticles", "My skin is going to stain", "I'm going to be stuck with Smurf hands", "This is not good for my OCD", "Oh the horror!!!", "Messy manicures are so much more obvious with dark polish!", "If you look at it from afar it's not that bad right?...Right??" - I literally think these things over and over again during application of dark polish, but because I love dark nails, I put up with the torture.

Although I can never fault Opallac, I was genuinely worried that I'd really struggle with these and potentially hate them. I mean I'm scared of applying regular dark polish, Gel polish is a whole different ball game because, well, it sticks! My biggest concern was "What happens if I cure a messy dark gel manicure?".

Well, well, well... let me tell you, without a word of a lie, I have never had such a pleasant manicure experience. I don't think I have applied dark polish quite as effortlessly as I did with these dark gels! 

These dark shades have the same perfect Opallac gel formula we have become accustomed to. They are super pigmented and apply so smooth and evenly. The amazing Opallac wide brush also perfectly contours to the nail for easy, mess-free application in three easy strokes! Cure under the Opallac LED nail lamp and you're good to go!

As always, I highly recommend trying out Opallac!

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!

Don't let Winter suppress your inner goddess, treat yourself to a luxurious Opallac Gel mani today! You deserve it!

OPALLAC GEL POLISH NUDE PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

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!!

Indulge in the perfect neutral palette of gel polish shades, designed to suit and compliment all skin tones with the new dreamy Opallac nudes!

I have the four-pack Nude Palette to review for you today :)

 SMOKE & MIRRORS 

Smoke & Mirrors is a chocolate brown gel polish shade.

I don't usually like brown nails, but I genuinely like this one.

Such a pretty and wearable shade of brown. 

 MAUVE ASIDE 

Mauve Aside is a deep nude gel polish shade.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a mauve, but each to their own.

This is giving me serious Soy Capp vibes (which I'm not mad about, it's one of my favourite Opallac shades!), it's just a tad deeper in colour. I love it! 

 OVER THE TAUPE 

Over The Taupe is a rosy nude gel polish shade. 

This reminds me of one of my favourite polishes of life OPI "My Very First Knockwurst" - I have wanted a gel equivalent forever and I think I have finally found it! It's the best! I just love it so much! 

 TRUTH OR BARE 

Truth or Bare is a light taupe gel polish shade.

Elegant and fresh. A crowd pleaser for sure! So so beautiful!

I think this would make a lovely pedicure colour too! 

*  *  * 

As per usual, Opallac have absolutely nailed it - I've come to expect nothing less!

These new nudes are stunning and right up my alley!
The formulas are simply perfection! 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 shades would be difficult to apply / require multiple coats, but they all apply beautifully in one - two easy coats, and cure perfectly under the Opallac LED nail lamp.

Let's be honest, not all nude shades tend to suit every skin tone. But I can guarantee you that at least one of these new neutral shades will suite you - and if for some bizarre reason these particular shades don't tickle your fancy / suite you, Opallac have a massive range of other neutral shade options available. It's time to release the nudes!

As always, I highly recommend trying out Opallac!
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!

Pick your new nude, grab a drink, and give yourself that Opallac mani you deserve!

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!
