Catch the Light
Shimmer nail polish adds a soft, reflective glow to any look. From ultra-fine metallic sheens that catch the light at every angle to color-shifting multichromes that flicker between hues, shimmer polishes work as a full look on their own or layered over a cream base for a lit-from-within effect.
Types of Shimmer Finish
- Metallic shimmer – a smooth, mirror-like sheen with a consistent color
- Duo or multichrome shimmer – shifts between two or more colors depending on the angle of light
- Micro shimmer – ultra-fine particles that give a subtle glow without obvious glitter
- Aurora shimmer – a color-shifting effect inspired by the northern lights
