SAND GRAIN! Trend Colour of the Month July

SAND GRAIN: With its wonderfully warm rose-gold shimmer, our colour of the month celebrates the magic of nature. Depending on light incidence, SAND GRAIN changes from fine shimmer to delicate glitter. This appealing character turns the new colour into a definite must-have for sophisticated consumers.

The stunning effects of SAND GRAIN are due to two pearlescent pigments: the radiant EDELSTEIN Sunstone Champagne plus the gold SYMIC A 393 which is responsible for the lustrous glitter.

SYMIC A 393 provides the golden shimmer in which the sun also makes the beach glitter.

The soft beige hue of SAND GRAIN comes from a mixture of the synthetic pearlescent pigments EDELSTEIN Sunstone Champagne and SYMIC A 393. The inimitable colour shade of EDELSTEIN Sunstone Champagne creates the base of this trend-color.
