What is Shimmer AB?

Shimmer AB is a softer and more ethereal version of the traditional Aurora Borealis effect. Designed to enhance the base color without overpowering it, the Shimmer AB finish on Blue Violet adds a glowy rainbow reflection that shifts in the light—ideal for dynamic stage or runway looks.
