Metallic Splitcakes

Pearl and shimmer finishes rather than flat colour, useful anywhere a design needs to catch light under a marquee or stage rig. TAG's Pearl Unicorn, Pearl Rainbow and Pearl Dream Base Blender sit alongside Diamond FX's #48 Elsa's Magic and #58 Green Fairy, and Fusion's shimmer-heavy Frozen Shimmer, Unicorn Sparks and Mermaid Tale 50g cakes. Natalee Davies' Gold Range, Blossom Fairy, Blue Wren, Fern and Violet, brings the same pearl finish to a signature 30g line, with a matching Gold Collection palette for all four in one case.

Where the shimmer belongs

This is the finish behind most mermaid and fairy designs, and it overlaps naturally with split cakes for Frozen, since icy themes lean pearl by default. For fluoro rather than pearl brightness, neon UV split cakes is the other special-finish shelf worth checking.
