What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB coating is a modern update to the classic Aurora Borealis finish. It allows more of the base color to shine through while delivering a luminous, color-shifting sparkle. Inspired by Swarovski’s shimmer coating, this lighter AB layer creates a refined and dreamy effect.
