Find the shine that was mer-made for you

11 Jan 2023

The mermaidcore trend, also known as pearlcore, hit the fashion runway in 2022 and is now making a statement within home interiors. If you’re looking to add a bit of iridescent flair to your home, Resene FX Pearl Shimmer can help you do just that.

Resene FX Pearl Shimmer is a waterborne pearlescent glaze ideal for creating shimmering wall finishes and softly sparkled features, adding visual interest and diversity to any colour scheme.

Create subtle iridescent accents like this DIY artwork using Resene FX Pearl Shimmer with warm white walls painted in Resene Half Blanc. Floor in Resene Eighth Blanc, plinth in Resene Eighth Blanc and Resene Double Blanc, DIY artwork in Resene Eighth Blanc with polystyrene balls glazed in Resene FX Pearl Shimmer and frame in Resene Double Blanc and vases in Resene Double Blanc and Resene Triple Blanc.

If you can’t get enough shimmer and shine, you can opt for applying Resene FX Pearl Shimmer as a shimmering glaze on your favourite furniture piece over your chosen colour. If it’s a more subtle option you’re after and you’re sticking to neutrals, try using it on a certain element like the shimmering pearls on the wall art above.

Colours such as deep blues, lush purples and rich greens can be used with Resene FX Pearl Shimmer, and if you’re looking to go full mermaid these colours will do the job. Try colours like Resene Biloba Flower, Resene Anise or the aqua toned Resene Riptide.

With the subtle sparkle coming from the embedded glitter, using Resene wallpaper can be an alternative option to painting your walls, and you have so many choices! You can even use leftovers or cut-outs to stick to your drawers or create mermaidcore inspired artwork.
