What is Shimmer AB?

Shimmer AB is a lighter version of the traditional Aurora Borealis coating. Designed to enhance the base color without overwhelming it, Shimmer AB adds a soft rainbow sheen that shifts with movement. On Black Diamond, it delivers a mysterious and graceful sparkle, perfect for upscale or artistic designs.
