Six color stories.

Infinite sculpted glory.

One very whipped gel.

 

Not your gel-next-door, OILWHIP has ATTITUDE.

Each shade was designed to be mixed, sculpted, smeared, or swirled with total freedom and creative wild abandon.

And every collection? A starting point, not a rulebook. From goth romantic to frosted fairycore to retro-dusty neutrals, there’s a palette here that gets your weird little pigment brain spinning.

These aren’t stiff color wheels or matchy-matchy sets. They're personalities. Textures. Vibes. The kind of gel that makes you wanna layer a floral, then ruin it on purpose.

So the only real question is: which art era will you dive into with these?

The OILWHIP System: A Sculptural Gel Palette for Artists

Think of this like a modular kit. A toolkit built for brush babes, palette mixers, and pigment obsessives. Whether you're pulling off detailed realism or loose, dreamy abstracts, each of these collections gives you new tools to work with, not rules.

Without further ado, let's meet the OILWHIP collections in all their sculptural glory.

 

🩶 NEUTRAL COLLECTION

For the grayscalers, the sketchbook brains, the ones who mix before they paint.

This is your base kit. Your oil paint starter palette. Your moody little toolbox of monochrome nail art gels and sculptural base tones. Built for shading, tinting, and custom blends.

 

Color Story:

Classic artist primaries. Black, white, gray, and earth tones. Designed to be your OILWHIP foundation set.

Inspo & Usage:

Inspired by oil painting starter palettes and traditional underpainting methods, the Neutral Collection is essential for building contrast, depth, and custom blends. Use Titanium White to tint, Burnt Umber for earthy realism, and mix Onyx Black and Graphite Gray for shading and shadow work. Perfect for sketch-style outlines, realism, and vintage trompe-l’oeil effects.

SHADE DESCRIPTIONS | NEUTRAL COLLECTION

• ONYX BLACK: A deep, pitch-black shade with a bold, inky intensity, perfect for dramatic, high-contrast textures.
  
  
• GRAPHITE GRAY: A rich, charcoal-infused gray with subtle depth, mimicking the smooth smudges of artist’s graphite on canvas.
  
  
• TITANIUM WHITE: A crisp, pure white inspired by the go-to pigment in every artist’s toolkit. Ideal for highlights, blends, and striking contrasts.
  
  
• BURNT UMBER: A warm, earthy brown with deep richness, reminiscent of the classic pigment used in old master paintings.
  
  
• ANTIQUE OCHRE: A soft, muted ochre with a golden undertone, bringing warmth and a vintage, sun-aged glow.

🔥 VIVID COLLECTION

For the bold liners, the color-blockers, the ones who love bold, clean color.

This is your pop art punch. Your hyper-saturated dream. A full spectrum of high-chroma art gels made for maximum impact, crisp detail, and electric contrast. Not for the faint of palette.

 

 

Color Story:

High-impact primaries and secondaries, engineered for bold expression and visual punch.

Inspo & Usage:

A modern update on Fauvist color theory, these shades were made to pop. Use Cadmium Red and Dioxazine Violet for graphic art, pop art, and abstract geometrics. Aqua Bloom and Spring Viridian pair beautifully with black linework for botanical paintings and impressionist blends. This set is perfect for high-contrast artwork, ombré blends, and electric detail work.

SHADE DESCRIPTIONS | VIVID

🍑 PASTEL COLLECTION

For the pipers, the petal-pressers, the ones who turn frosting into fine art.

Soft-washed pastels with a dreamy, diffused tone. Hazy, sweet, and buildable.

👑 REGAL COLLECTION

For the gothic maximalists, the velvet romantics, the ones who paint like it’s 1620.

Baroque and brooding with jewel-toned drama. These are your lacquered finishes and oil-paint shadows. Each shade begs for detail brushes, gold leaf, and a little over-the-top energy.

🪵 EARTHEN COLLECTION

For the terrazzo babes, the slow texture builders, the ones who find beauty in grit.

🌞 SUNBLEACH COLLECTION

For the faded florals, the soft nostalgics, the ones who paint with ghosts and chalk dust.
