Shimmer: A shimmer nail polish is a type of nail polish that contains small, light-reflecting particles or shimmering pigments that add a subtle sparkle or shimmer effect to the nails. These shimmer particles catch the light and create a multidimensional and lustrous finish.
Shimmer nail polishes often have a translucent or semi-opaque base that allows the shimmer particles to shine through while still providing some level of color coverage. Overall, shimmer nail polish is a great choice for those who want to add a touch of sparkle and radiance to their nails, creating a captivating and luminous finish.
Metallic: A metallic nail polish creates a shiny, or metallic-like appearance on the nails when applied. This finish is characterized by a reflective, lustrous quality that gives the nails a polished and almost mirror-like sheen. It typically contains metallic pigments or reflective particles that can create a metallic, shimmery, or even a chrome-like effect when the nail polish dries.
The finish can vary in intensity, with some metallic nail polishes providing a subtle shimmer, while others create a bold, high-shine metallic look.
