Liquitex Iridescent Mediums: Add Shimmer and Shine to Your Acrylic Paints

Liquitex Iridescent Mediums are specially formulated to give your acrylic paints a luminous, pearl-like shimmer. These transparent or translucent mediums contain fine mica particles that reflect light, creating a striking iridescent or metallic effect. When mixed with acrylic paints, they enhance the visual depth and brilliance of your colors, transforming ordinary hues into shimmering, light-catching tones.

These mediums are versatile and easy to use—blend them directly into your paint to adjust the level of sheen, or apply them on their own to create radiant highlights and surface accents. They also increase transparency and slow drying time, giving you more flexibility and control in your creative process.
