This series gives a gorgeous translucent pearl like shimmer over any color, and can be applied to a multitude of art mediums. Examples shown are pigments over black polymer clay. Simply press down or rub over conditioned raw clay, bake at the normal curing schedule. Multiple heats are fine, and, because our lusters do not contain any plastics, they will not melt or degrade in the clay. Once cured in the clay, the lusters should be permanent. Sealing is optional, but recommended for jewelry wear.
Works awesome in resins and transparent paints. Add them to transparent acrylic bases, the surface of resins, waxes or varnish. They may also be used over various mediums & sealed. Lumiere Lusters™ are non-toxic.

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'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.
