Wella Professionals - Illumina Permanent Creme Hair Colour Opal-Essence Series 60ml

Step into the world of sophistication with this premium collection of metallic-infused permanent hair colours that deliver ethereal, multidimensional results with exceptional luminosity. The Illumina Opal-Essence Series represents the pinnacle of colour innovation, featuring revolutionary Microlight technology that surrounds copper deposits on the hair cuticle, preventing them from interfering with colour development whilst increasing cuticle protection for smoother, clearer cuticles that allow light to pass through freely. This carefully curated collection of four bespoke shades—Silver Mauve, Platinum Lily, Titanium Rose, and Copper Peach—offers a sophisticated palette of metallic-inspired tones that create subtle, refined opalescent effects rather than bold fashion colours. The innovative formula illuminates the hair's natural highlights and lowlights from within, creating multidimensional metallic tones that shift and change in different lighting conditions, mimicking the captivating play of light seen in precious opals and metals. Whether creating icy lavender-silver hues, delicate platinum-blonde effects, soft rose-gold dimensions, or subtle peachy-copper reflects, this collection elevates hair colour to a new realm of sophisticated elegance.

What distinguishes the Opal-Essence Series from standard permanent colours or fashion shades is its exceptional sophistication and wearability. Each meticulously formulated shade creates refined metallic dimension rather than flat, artificial colour—Silver Mauve delivers cool silver with subtle lavender undertones for an elegant take on silver-blonde, whilst Platinum Lily offers a delicate, barely-there lilac cast that transforms blonde to a sophisticated platinum with extraordinary luminosity. The Titanium Rose variant creates the perfect subtle rose-gold effect with balanced warmth and coolness for universal flattery, whilst Copper Peach delivers a refined peachy-copper glow that brings dimensional warmth without brassiness. The gentle yet effective formula maintains optimal hair condition, allowing for these sophisticated metallic effects without the damage typically associated with fashion colours or metallic tones. Professional colourists particularly value these shades for their ability to create premium-looking dimensional effects that appear far more sophisticated than typical fashion colours, appealing to discerning clients seeking subtle enhancement rather than dramatic statements.

Each 60ml tube of Illumina Permanent Creme Hair Colour contains enough product for a full application on medium-length hair, making it equally suitable for full head applications, partial colouring, or creative techniques. The premium cream formula offers optimal control during application with a comfortable development process that's gentler than many traditional permanent colours whilst still delivering sophisticated, long-lasting metallic effects. These opalescent shades perform best on pre-lightened or naturally light blonde hair, with the level of intensity varying depending on the starting shade—creating everything from subtle reflects on darker blonde bases to more pronounced metallic effects on lighter backgrounds. The sophisticated colour technology ensures these metallic tones remain true from application to application, with minimal fading or unwanted tonal shifts. For the most dimensional results, colourists often use these shades to create bespoke combinations—Silver Mauve pairs beautifully with Platinum Lily for a multifaceted cool blonde, whilst Titanium Rose and Copper Peach can be combined for the perfect dimensional rose-gold effect with exceptional depth. Whether creating an elegant silver-lavender blonde, a sophisticated platinum with lilac dimension, a subtle rose-gold glow, or a refined peachy-copper sheen, this premium opalescent collection delivers metallic sophistication with natural luminosity for dimensional colour that appears lit from within.
