LATEST INSPIRATION
In the early 90s it turned Frankfurt into a centre of the European techno scene. We dedicate this styling to the legendary OMEN club and its founder Sven Väth and his companions. Blue sparkle pops out of the happy and extrovert Yellow base, like dancers in stroboscopic flashes. The almost complementary contrast, with a blue interference on top of yellow mirrors the lightheartedness and non-conformity of the whole early techno movement.
We live in a world where all global events and social shifts influence our daily lives, whether we want it or not. As the planet seems to spin faster and faster, we look for moments of calm and serenity to be able to make the best individual decisions and take the right collective moves forward. A necessary need for moments of stillness to reflect and learn from the past, to gather positive energy and jump into a sparkling future with hope and playfulness!
Coatings effect pigments are going digital. Experience how your favorite color translates from a panel to our sportive M-One car, resting in its garage or out on the road.
Elegant and colorful lip gloss formulation featuring Ronaflux® Peacock. This recently launched pearl effect pigment displays an eye-catching holographic blue/green pearl effect with a metallic-like appearance and excellent stability.
