Performance & Formulation Insights for Fiesta Gemini BRO-28
Advanced Chromatic Shift on Synthetic Mica
Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 achieves its dramatic blue-to-orange color travel through a precise coating of iron oxides and silica on an ultra-pure synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate. Unlike natural mica, synthetic mica offers a smoother surface and higher purity, which results in cleaner, brighter, and more chromatic color expression. This advanced structure allows for a vivid and distinct color shift as the viewing angle changes.
Formulating with Large Particle Pigments
With a particle size range of 80-180 μm, Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 is designed to create a bold, sparkling, and glitter-like effect.
When formulating, it is crucial to use suspension aids and rheology modifiers in liquid-based systems (like nail polish or lip gloss) to ensure the particles remain evenly distributed. In pressed powders, its larger size contributes to a dazzling, high-impact finish.
