Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Smooth GTV
Distinct Green-to-Blue Color Travel on a Silica–Mica Base
NovaGlow Smooth GTV is engineered to deliver a clean, luminous green-to-blue color travel effect on a silky silica–mica base. A carefully controlled titanium dioxide coating creates an interference layer that shifts from bright, almost lime-toned green through to a deeper, vibrant blue as the angle of light changes. The result is a smooth, high-shimmer pearl effect with refined reflectivity and no chunky sparkle, ideal for sophisticated multi-dimensional looks.
Optimized Particle Size for Seamless Shimmer
With a particle size range of 20–100 μm, NovaGlow Smooth GTV balances visibility of the color shift with a comfortable, non-gritty feel on skin and lips. The mid-sized platelets lay down as a uniform, semi-transparent veil that builds from a subtle wash of green-to-blue sheen to more intense, high-shimmer coverage as loading increases. This profile makes it especially well-suited for topper shades, halo effects, and layered, editorial color stories.
Formulation Considerations & Usage
The silica component contributes slip and oil absorption, helping powder and anhydrous formats feel silky rather than greasy, while mica supports a stable, consistent flake structure for even application. In eye and face formats, typical use levels range from low percentages for subtle green-blue highlights to higher loadings for bold, color-travel statements. In lip and nail systems, NovaGlow Smooth GTV performs best when suspended in clear or lightly tinted bases that allow the green-to-blue shift to remain visually dominant.
For best results, disperse the pigment thoroughly in your chosen medium, avoiding excessive grinding that could disrupt platelet integrity and diminish the travel effect. Pairing NovaGlow Smooth GTV with complementary matte or satin bases can help frame the cool green and blue reflections, enhancing contrast and payoff while keeping the overall formula comfortable and long-wearing.
