Pearl Pigments: The Opal Edition – Iridescent Color Bundle
Create stunning, Iridescent opal-inspired resin pieces with this shimmering collection of pearl pigments. Used by artist Jessica Abella to craft her signature opal tables, this curated bundle features soft, iridescent hues designed to mimic the layered, color-shifting beauty of natural opal.
PolyColor Resin Powders produce vibrant pearlescent effects when added to clear resins such as Alumilite Clear, Amazing Clear Cast, and Amazing Deep Pour. These ultra-fine powders offer big impact in small amounts, making them ideal for both detailed pieces and large-format pours.
Start with a small amount to maintain translucency and gradually build up to deepen color. Powders can be blended to create custom shades or paired with Alumilite Dyes for added richness and depth.
