Golden Sunset Flake - Orange Gold Lumiere Lusters Color Changing Chameleon Metallic Foil Art Pigment
$2.00
* "Golden Sunset" is a gorgeous, fine flake, color shifting Lumiere Luster that shifts from golden red, tangerine and brilliant gold depending on the angle it is viewed. Best applied over dark backgrounds, it is a brilliant bright coppery orange shifting up to bright yellow gold tones. Great for adding bling to your nails, resin art, polymer clay, alcohol ink paintings, you name it! Treat them like gilding flake!
* As best we can guesstimate for weight/sizing of the FLAKES, weight averages:
Small holds about .25 actual gram weight
Medium holds about .5 actual gram weight
Large jar holds approx 1 gram actual weight.
Sample bag holds a fluffy teaspoon of flakes to test out.
You may get more or less depending on color/type of pigment. These flakes are extremely lightweight, bulky and fragile, each color actually weighs differently. Please see our photos for size comparisons.
* Brilliant reflective dichroic reflection with color changing qualities depending on viewed angle are NON_PLASTIC. Made with a silica-based micron thin glass substrate with prismatic metallic oxides fused to the surface. Our flakes work more like fine foil or gold leaf on many different mediums. Solvent safe, and great for body and nail art! A little goes a long way.
* LAMPWORKING ARTISTS; this color is tested safe for high temp use and displays a multitude of oranges and golds under encasement and over dark colored bases. It's gorgeous!
* PRO TIP: these flakes are extremely lightweight! Make sure you don't have any fans or open drafts in the area where you work. Non-toxic, but we recommend wearing a light dust mask to prevent inhaling any flying particles if you're working with them a lot.
Our Lumiere Lusters™ Flakes have been thoroughly tested with our glass lampworking artists, and produce amazing dichro-like effects embedded in the glass. They don't have a specific coefficient, and can safely be used with soft or hard (boro) glass. Take care not to expose the flakes directly with the torch flame, as it may make them burn out and fade the colors. Work quickly and keep temps as low as possible during the torch session, and keep kiln garaging times shorter at lower temperatures. This will ensure the flakes keep a brilliant color.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your pigments cosmetic safe?
Many of them are! Each listing gives specific uses or exceptions to a particular pigment, so look for that in the description section. When in doubt, feel free to send a convo.
Can I use your pigments in resin or polymer clay?
YES! As a working artist, I love the versatility of using unique pigments across many creative mediums, so I only stock those that are solvent safe, are non-fading, are safe for heated mediums up to at least 400F and of course are non-toxic to our health. All you need is a transparent carrier to suspend the pigments in, or raw polymer clay to put them on the surface, and you're good to go!
What about nail art?
Of course! All of our pigments are suitable for nail art and will create amazing unique effects. I would recommend using the flakes or powders with a gel coat medium and UV cure lamp for instant results.
Can I use your pigments to embellish something edible?
Although our flakes and powders are non-toxic, they should not be considered edible or ingestable. I would stick with food-quality products only.
Why are some pigments called "high temp", but not others? Do I need anything special to use these?
The original Lumiere Luster line is a new dichroic-like product for lampworking artists, such as myself, which is where the flake's high temp designation originated. But I found that they are just as amazing to work with in other mediums, not just for lampworkers! However, for lampwork or glass enamel use, use only those that are in our "high temp" section to ensure they're safe for glassworking temperatures (1000+ degrees F). If you would like a copy of my free PDF tutorial, just message me and I'll get you the info!
If you're not a glassworker, the "high temp" designation is pretty much meaningless, so you're safe to use ANY of the pigments in any medium you like, with beautiful results.
Why are these flakes of yours so "fly-away"?
We get that a lot! It's the nature of this particular product. Kind of an industrial marvel if you ask me how lightweight they are! We like to fill the jars right up to the top so it might be a little messy when you first open the jars; we sincerely apologize for this. Just be sure you aren't working with the flakes around any open windows or fans and it should cut down on how much they fly around. Remember: Art is Messy! 😁
Can your flakes be used on paper or scrapbooks?
Yes. There's quite a few awesome YouTube videos out there about paper embellishment with metallic foils or gilding flakes. Our flake pigments (and powders as well) will work exactly the same as metal leaf or foils. Take a look at this great video for some inspiration and a how-to use with different types of "glues" to stick down the flakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtq_UeJddyc
In addition to that, we've had some watercolor artists ask if they can make custom watercolor pan pigments with our fine powders and the answer is "yes"! It might take a little fiddling to find the right ratio of pigment to binder, but that's where your creativity comes in. Experiment with our ultra fine Discotek powder or ultra fine super shift powders!
Can I use your pigments in soaps and lotions?
Most likely, yes. I don't know all the different base formulas in soap arts but most of our mica based pigments should work just fine and are cosmetically safe. I would not recommend our chameleon flakes, however, unless it is used as a surface finishing touch (not mixed in). Testing is recommended for coloring and shimmer effects desired.
