Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Max VPG
Ultra-Large Borosilicate Flakes for Maximum Sparkle
NovaGlow Max VPG is engineered on a calcium aluminum borosilicate and silica platform, delivering oversized, transparent glitter flakes with exceptional clarity and reflectivity. With a dramatic particle size range of 100–5000 μm, this pigment creates a visibly chunky, high-impact glitter effect ideal for statement looks, festival artistry, and special-effects finishes where subtle shimmer is not the goal.
The borosilicate substrate provides a glass-like brilliance, while the optimized coating system ensures strong adhesion of the colorants for consistent payoff and durable wear in properly designed formulations. The result is a bold, textured sparkle that stands out in both dry and wet systems.
Cool-Toned Green-to-Blue-to-Violet Color Travel
Visually, NovaGlow Max VPG delivers a striking cool-toned color travel that shifts from vibrant emerald green to teal-blue and into deep violet, depending on viewing angle and lighting. On application, the flakes appear largely transparent in the base, allowing the dominant green, blue, and violet reflections to take center stage without adding heavy background color.
This makes NovaGlow Max VPG ideal as a transformative topper pigment: it can be layered over dark or colored bases to amplify the green-blue-violet shift, or over bare skin for a sparkling, prismatic veil that catches and redirects light from multiple angles.
Formulating with Chunky Color-Travel Glitters
The extra-large particle size and irregular flake geometry require thoughtful formula design. NovaGlow Max VPG performs best in systems that can lock the flakes in place, such as gels, high-solids suspensions, and pressed or panned formats with robust binding systems. In eye and face products, pairing the glitter with film formers or gelling agents helps control migration and maximize wear.
For nail applications, suspension-style lacquer or gel systems help keep the flakes evenly distributed and prevent settling. Because the base effect is transparent, you can tune the final visual by choosing contrasting or harmonizing background colors, using NovaGlow Max VPG as the hero effect rather than a coverage pigment.
