What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB effect is a softer, lighter variation of the traditional Aurora Borealis finish. It enhances the Capri Blue base with a glowing, rainbow-like layer that reflects ambient light while still letting the rich color underneath shine through. This finish is ideal for elegant, multidimensional sparkle without being overpowering.
