NovaGlow Ice ROG

Chunky Green–Gold–Copper Color-Travel Glitter for High-Impact Effects

INCI Name: Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxides

NovaGlow Ice ROG is a large-particle borosilicate pigment that shifts dramatically from bright green to metallic gold/bronze and warm coppery red-orange. With a 100–5000 μm particle size and semi-transparent coverage, it delivers intense, sparkling color travel for eye, face, and nail formulations. This vegan, carmine-free pigment is ideal for bold toppers, statement glitters, and multidimensional special-effects finishes.

Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Ice ROG

Chunky Green–Gold–Copper Color Travel

NovaGlow Ice ROG is a bold, large-particle borosilicate pigment engineered for dramatic color-shift effects. On application, it travels vividly from bright green through metallic gold/bronze into a warm, coppery red-orange, creating a high-impact, glitter-like finish. The semi-transparent flakes let underlying bases show through, making this pigment ideal for layering, spotlight accents, and transformative topcoats.

Built on a calcium aluminum borosilicate and silica substrate with titanium dioxide and tin oxides, NovaGlow Ice ROG delivers intense reflectivity and crisp, directional flashes of color. The white, translucent bulk powder disappears into clear or lightly tinted bases, while the chunky particle structure catches light from multiple angles for a sparkling, faceted appearance on skin and nails.

Formulating with a 100–5000 μm Large-Particle Pigment

With a particle size range of 100–5000 μm, NovaGlow Ice ROG behaves more like reflective glitter than a traditional pearlescent pigment. For eye and face formulas, it performs best in pressed toppers, gels, putties, and high-viscosity suspensions that can lock the flakes in place and minimize fallout. In nail systems, its large, plate-like particles create striking depth and multidimensional color travel when fully encapsulated in film-formers or gel matrices.

To optimize performance, disperse gently to avoid breaking the flakes, and choose binding or suspending systems that support the higher particle weight. Clear or lightly tinted bases showcase the full green–gold–copper shift, while deeper backgrounds can be used strategically to emphasize either the warmer or cooler side of the travel.

Frequently Asked Questions About NovaGlow Ice ROG

NovaGlow Ice ROG shows a vivid color travel from bright green through metallic gold/bronze into a warm, coppery red-orange, creating a bold, multidimensional sparkle on skin and nails.

Yes, NovaGlow Ice ROG is designed for use in eye-area formulations when properly bound or suspended. Because of its large particle size, it is best used in pressed, gel, or high-viscosity systems rather than as a loose, unbound glitter near the immediate eye area. Always confirm compliance with local regulations and your brand’s safety policies.

The extra-large 100–5000 μm particle size produces intense, facet-like sparkle but is intentionally more textural than a fine pearl. It is ideal for statement looks, toppers, and nail effects rather than sheer, subtle finishes, and performs best in formulas that can hold the flakes securely in place.

For maximum color travel, disperse NovaGlow Ice ROG gently into clear or lightly tinted bases and avoid over-pigmenting with opaque fillers. Using darker or contrasting underlayers can emphasize different parts of the shift, while thin, even films help the flakes lie flat and reflect light cleanly.

Yes, it performs exceptionally well in both solvent-based nail lacquers and UV/LED gel systems. When fully encapsulated in the nail film, the large borosilicate flakes create striking depth and dynamic green–gold–copper flashes.

Yes. NovaGlow Ice ROG contains no animal-derived ingredients and is formulated without carmine, making it suitable for vegan and cruelty-free product lines that still require warm, red-orange effects.

Use higher-viscosity bases, film-formers, or gelling agents that can support the weight of the large borosilicate particles and minimize settling. Add NovaGlow Ice ROG late in the process with minimal shear to preserve flake integrity, and consider packaging formats that can be gently mixed before use, such as wands, jars, or pots.
