Glitterbels Aurora Flakes Shape Shifter 0.2g

• Glitterbels Aurora Flakes in Shape Shifter, 0.2g
• Chromatic nail-art flakes for use over gel or acrylic
• Part of the Glitterbels Chrome Crazy Powders range
• Available in pressed, loose and flake formats across the range

Glitterbels Aurora Flakes in Shape Shifter are chromatic nail-art flakes designed to be applied over a cured gel or acrylic base for iridescent, holographic and shifting-colour finishes. Part of the wider Glitterbels Chrome Crazy Powders range, which spans 27 shades across pressed, loose and flake formats — flakes give a more textured, dimensional finish than the loose or pressed pigment versions, particularly nice for statement accent nails, gemstone-style effects and detail work rather than full-nail coverage. 0.2g is a small nail-art pot size that goes further than it looks since flakes are typically applied in small quantities as accents. The Shape Shifter name suggests a colour-shifting or multichrome finish (which most chromatic flakes deliver to some degree), though worth checking a swatch or the manufacturer image before recommending to clients to confirm the specific colour direction the flake shifts through.

How to use

Prep the nail as usual and apply your base gel or acrylic colour, curing per your usual routine. Apply a layer of no-wipe top coat or a designated foil/chrome adhesive gel and cure. While the top coat is still slightly tacky (or per the specific adhesive gel instructions), press or brush the flakes onto the nail in the pattern you want. Seal with a final top coat and cure. Colour-shifting flakes work best over darker base colours where the shift shows most, and pair well with black, navy or deep-jewel-tone bases as accent finishes. Flakes work best applied in small quantities as accents or partial coverage rather than trying to fully cover the nail.

Who it's for

These flakes are for nail techs and confident home users doing nail-art work with chromatic and colour-shifting finishes. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know shape-shifting or multichrome flakes are one of the most impressive-looking nail-art finishes when done well, the shifting colour catches light and movement differently through the day and gives the client that "did they change their nail colour?" effect. Best paired with darker base colours where the colour-shift shows most dramatically, though a light neutral base can also work for a softer effect.
