5 Fab OPI Polishes that Helped AJE Nail Its Australian Fashion Week Aesthetic

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of Australian Fashion Week. The dresses, the drama and the impeccable attention to detail. And this year, the AJE x OPI collaboration, at the stunning Pier Pavilion in Barangaroo, delivered proof that fashion and beauty go hand in hand … literally!

To unveil their Impression Resort 26 Runway Show, contemporary Aussie fashion brand AJE showcased its famed frills, flounce and fabulousness. Complemented by a curated nail colour palette by equally iconic OPI to perfectly echo the collection’s vibe. Think raw beauty, tough femininity, and effortless cool all wrapped up in five gorgeous Infinite Shine shades.

Given that AJE’s signature is all about a balance between laid-back essentials and standout occasion pieces, OPI’s understood the assignment by delivering polish colours that underscored the outfits, and amplified the whole mood. It was the kind of detail that has become synonymous with AJE’s style. And, made the entire show unforgettable.

Michele Boulos, Senior Marketing Manager at Wella & OPI, summed it best, saying, “We are so excited to be partnering with Aje for Australian Fashion Week 2025. AJE’s signature is a curated mix of effortless essentials and statement occasion pieces, and we believe that the OPI addition complements and emphasises that. With five of our Infinite Shine shades hand-picked by Aje, we really do have a shade for every look.”

So, what were the OPI colours in question? Shades ranged from soft, understated nudes to bold, commanding hues – a true nod to Aje’s raw yet feminine aesthetic. And so, whether you’re into a sleek and subtle polish or prefer a punchy pop of colour, if you experiment with any of the hues below, you’re sure to nail both your both and fashion look!
