Nilaya Arc Pearlescent
The pearlescent Nilaya Arc — the same lime base as the Matt, finished with a delicate iridescent sheen. Three quite different looks come out of the same tin depending on how the final coat is laid: a natural pearl finish by roller, a vintage finish brushed criss-cross, or a cloudy effect worked with a sponge.
- Lime based paint
- Three finishes from one tin — natural pearl, vintage pearl, cloudy enigma
- Silicon tactility for durability
- Stain cleanability against pencil, crayon, marker, ketchup, tea, coffee, turmeric and lipstick
- Low VOC, no added lead, mercury, arsenic or chromium
- Over 100 shades inspired by heritage
