Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Shift PGO
Warm Gold-to-Pink Color Travel with Copper Transitions
NovaGlow Shift PGO delivers a vivid, warm color-travel effect that moves from luminous gold through coppery orange into bright fuchsia pink. Built on a hybrid base of silica, natural mica, and synthetic fluorphlogopite, this pigment creates a high-impact, shimmery metallic finish that remains smooth on the skin without visible chunkiness. The semi-transparent coverage allows the underlying base tone to influence the final look, making it ideal for layering and multidimensional designs.
The combination of titanium dioxide and iron oxides on a mixed mineral substrate gives this pigment both brightness and warmth. On light bases, the gold and peachy-orange notes appear more pronounced; over deeper or black bases, the vivid pink takes center stage while the gold and copper create a halo-like edge. This balance of reflection, color travel, and warmth is especially powerful for eye, lip, and nail formats where movement and shift are key.
Optimized 10–80 μm Particle Size for Sparkling Smoothness
With a particle size distribution of 10–80 μm, NovaGlow Shift PGO sits in the sweet spot between refined shimmer and eye-catching sparkle. The finer fraction supports smooth application and comfortable wear on sensitive areas like the eyelids and lips, while the larger platelets amplify reflectivity and enhance the warm gold-to-pink shift under movement and directional light.
This particle range is versatile across anhydrous, emulsion, and solvent systems. In pressed powders, it maintains good press-ability and adhesion without feeling gritty. In gels, glosses, and nail lacquers, the platelets remain well-suspended when paired with appropriate rheology modifiers, ensuring consistent payoff and minimal settling.
Formulating Across Eye, Lip, Face & Nail
NovaGlow Shift PGO is designed for professional multi-format use, from bold eye looks to statement lips and high-impact nail art. In eye products, its warm travel from gold to copper to pink delivers a dramatic lid color or topper that changes with every angle. In lip formats, it transforms clear or tinted bases into radiant, warm-shifting glosses with a smooth, cushiony feel when properly dispersed.
For face applications, use this pigment sparingly in highlighters, face toppers, and blush-toppers to add a warm, luminous veil without overwhelming the underlying tone. In nail systems, NovaGlow Shift PGO creates striking, warm color-travel effects in both traditional lacquers and UV/LED gel formulas, particularly when applied over dark or contrasting base shades.
