What's in a finish? - Glass Fleck

     *Nothing to Disclose*

    Hello everyone. Today on the what's in a finish series I have the Glass Fleck finish. A glass fleck polish has small particles of glitter often mixed in a jelly base. The small particles give the illusion of pieces of glass floating in the polish.

     A flakie top coat is an example of a larger particle glass fleck finish. Although it is not the only type of polish to be classified as a glass fleck.

     Glass fleck polishes have a very smooth finish with lots of sparkles. Usually, sheer, they can have a duo-chrome, a multi-chrome or iridescent look.

     I have heard quite a few bloggers describe a glass fleck polish as having an almost 3D look to them and I would say I have to agree. The particles seem to be suspended in the polish as if they were frozen in time.

     Thanks for stopping by and reading my post. Be sure to check out past posts in this series. Happy Polishing!
