Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Smooth VRO

Peach-to-Pink-to-Violet Color Travel on a Silica and Mica Base

NovaGlow Smooth VRO is a sophisticated color travel pigment engineered on a balanced blend of silica and natural mica, finished with a titanium dioxide interference coating. When applied, it delivers a smooth shift from warm peachy orange through vibrant pink into deep violet, creating a fluid, prismatic shimmer rather than chunky sparkle. This semi-transparent effect makes it ideal as a transformative topper or as a stand-out primary shade in eye, lip, face, and nail formats.

Optimized 20–100 μm Particle Size for Seamless Shimmer

With a particle size distribution of 20–100 μm, NovaGlow Smooth VRO sits in the sweet spot between fine pearl and visible sparkle. The platelet structure glides onto the skin in a thin, even layer, delivering high reflectivity and a smooth shimmer that appears refined and camera-ready. This range supports excellent suspension in liquids and gels while still pressing cleanly into powders without excessive fallout.

Versatile for Layering, Toppers, and Hybrid Textures

The semi-transparent nature of NovaGlow Smooth VRO lets the underlying base color influence the final look. Over light bases, the peach-to-pink-to-violet travel reads airy and luminous; over deeper bases, the violet and pink intensify for a more dramatic, editorial finish. This makes the pigment especially powerful in modern hybrid formulas such as liquid metal eyeshadows, gloss toppers, multidimensional highlighters, and nail effects.
