Are you going for a more metallic finish, or would you like to sport a sheen like the smooth surface of a blue lake?
Shimmery polish will help you achieve just that and more.
If you’ve ever stared at the way a seashell catches the light and reflects subtle, pretty colors, you might want to match that with a shimmer polish. Gloss and glitter are too garish in this case.
Shimmer, on the other hand, is the perfect in-between that gives a more natural feel. In particular, this kind of polish is perfect for maritime styles and colors, reflecting the beauty and pastels of the ocean and rivers.
After all, shimmer is the word that describes the way the light plays off the water as it smoothly flows and ripples. For this reason, different shades of blue are great choices to consider.
From deep, dark ocean blues to light and playful aquamarine, these colors stand out in shimmer much differently than they would as more common glossy polishes.
In contrast, shimmer polishes look great in more subdued metallic colors.
Rose gold, silver, and metallic white are great colors to choose from when the occasion calls for some degree of subtlety.
Just as well, any color can be tried in shimmer rather than gloss as a stylistic choice alongside more stand-out highlights.
In that case, you may be inspired to try giving some old ideas a new look, putting patterns and designs on a shimmery back. Whenever you feel like your options have run out, try some shimmer on for size.
It may breathe some freshness into the lives of your nails.
