Olive Gold is the cat eye that belongs with a trench coat and a market bag. A muted olive base carries a warm gold flash that brings the muddy green to life without ever making it bright, and the short round shape keeps the whole thing deliberately understated. It is the earth tone that does something when the light hits it — a neutral that turns out to have a trick in its pocket.

How this look is done
- 01File to a short round and apply an olive-green gel base in two thin coats, curing each.
- 02Apply the magnetic gel in one even coat.
- 03Hold the magnet flat and centred for four seconds so the gold spreads as a soft band rather than a hard line, then cure.
- 04Seal with a glossy top coat and cure.
Who it suits
Olive and deep skin tones wear it most naturally; fair skin gets a pleasing contrast as long as the base stays muted rather than yellow. Short round and short square keep it casual. It goes with denim, rust, cream and camel — most of an autumn wardrobe, in other words.
How it wears
Two to three weeks in gel. Muted mid-tones are the most forgiving colour family for regrowth, and the gold flash keeps its warmth under indoor lighting where a silver one would go grey.
Softer or bolder
Softer: a sage base with a champagne flash, which is almost a neutral. Bolder: a deep moss base with the magnet pulled into a hard vertical line for real definition.
