What's in a Finish?-Frost and Pearl

     *Nothing to Disclose*

     Today in my what's in a finish series I take a closer look at the frost and Pearl finishes. A frost finish is a very fine, shimmery polish often having an icy look to it. Predominantly having a metallic look, a typical color balance is more frost than pigment.

     The big downfall for this finish is it often shows heavy brush strokes. Even a good top coat can have a hard time covering them up. This can tend to make people want to shy away from using them and they are losing popularity. Which is a shame since they usually are really pretty colors.

     The Pearl finish is very similar to the frost finish except that it has a pearly sheen and a satiny look. This is another finish that seems to have lost popularity because of the brushstrokes and is mainly found in older polishes.

      Overall I think these finishes have some good qualities to them, but the brush stroke factor has limited my purchasing and use of them. How do you feel about them?
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
