We invite you to choose FYOTEC's KalorFeel® as your manufacturer and supplier. We offer high-quality color-shifting and chameleon pigments for nail polish across a diverse range of series, enabling the creation of various nail art effects—from base colors to 9D cat-eye finishes—with natural color transitions and a comprehensive color palette.
These pigments are high-tech nail polish ingredients based on the principle of thin-film interference.
When nail polish formulated with these pigments is applied, the color dynamically shifts as the lighting and viewing angle change—transitioning from green to blue, orange-red to golden yellow, or silver-red to emerald green—effects that cannot be achieved with standard nail polish.
When combined with magnetic materials, the pigments can be aligned using a magnet to create 9D dimensional light bands, producing dynamic patterns such as "cat's eye" or starburst effects.
Our comprehensive product range enables the creation of nail polishes featuring high-gloss metallic mirror finishes, sheer jelly-like textures, vibrant color-shifting effects, and dimensional cat's eye looks.
FYOTEC's KalorFeel® offers a complete product portfolio to meet every need of nail polish brands:
● Classic Opaque Series: High-coverage metallic finish
● Transparent Series: Sheer, jelly-like finish
● High-Chroma Transparent Series: Dazzling color-shifting effects
● Silver Fantasy Series: Diamond-like sparkling and brightening effect
● High-Chroma Magnetic Series: Creates bold, intense "cat-eye" effects
● Sheer Magnetic Series: Creates delicate, airy "cat-eye" effects
● Magnetic Silver Series: A versatile "moonlight white" base color
The pigments cover the full color spectrum—including red, green, blue, purple, gold, and silver—offering a wide variety of color-shifting combinations.
The high-chroma series boasts exceptional color saturation, displaying smooth, seamless color transitions when viewed from different angles.
The magnetic series not only shifts color with the viewing angle but also allows for the creation of 3D patterns via magnetic fields, delivering visual effects far superior to standard pearlescent pigments.
The pigment flakes feature a smooth, flat surface that refracts light like crushed diamonds on the nail. Unlike the rough texture of ordinary large-particle glitter, these pigments elevate the overall quality and sophistication of the manicure.
The magnetic series utilizes a multi-layer thin-film structure with embedded magnetic materials, ensuring stronger magnetism and faster response times.
When used with a specialized cat-eye magnet—held 3–5mm above the nail surface for 3–5 seconds—a crisp band of light forms instantly. The effect features concentrated bright zones and clean dark areas with strong dimensionality, enabling nail technicians to work quickly and efficiently.
We offer a range of sizes, from 5μm ultra-fine powders to 65μm coarse powders, with some series even offering coarse flakes ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm.
Smaller particle sizes yield a finer, softer finish, while larger particles produce a brighter, more sparkling band of light.
The Magnetic Silver Series is available in six different particle size specifications, serving as a versatile foundation for color blending.
FYOTEC's KalorFeel® maintains an in-stock inventory of over 2 metric tons. We support small-sample dispensing starting at 2g and accept orders for standard colors starting at 100g. We also accommodate mixed-color orders for quantities of 1kg or more, ensuring a rapid response to nail brands' restocking needs.
In nail polish production, factors such as pigment flake particle size distribution, batch-to-batch color consistency, and dispersibility directly impact the application feel, curing performance, and final appearance of the product.
FYOTEC's KalorFeel® established an internal quality management system in 2002 and obtained ISO 9001 certification in 2013; for years, we have remained committed to continuously improving product quality stability and the effectiveness of our management processes.
We have implemented a comprehensive digital monitoring system covering the entire process—from PVD coating to ultra-fine pulverization—featuring real-time feedback on coating parameters, online laser monitoring of particle size, and color matching based on spectral analysis.
Through rigorous inspection of both semi-finished and finished products, combined with strict standard sample management and color difference control, we ensure high consistency in color effects and particle size distribution across every batch, minimizing batch-to-batch color variation.
To meet the specific requirements of nail polish formulations, we conduct dispersibility tests on every batch of pigment, ensuring excellent compatibility with most of resin-based gel systems, as well as ease of dispersion and resistance to settling.
For our magnetic series, we specifically test magnetic response speed and magnetic concentration; using standard magnets under identical conditions, we verify the clarity of the formed light band, the concentration of the bright zone, and the response time, ensuring consistent performance for nail technicians with every batch.

To avoid damaging the precise flake structure, do not use grinding equipment during dispersion.
Stir at low speed (300–600 rpm) in the nail polish base; first, wet the pigment with a small amount of the liquid ingredients from the formula, then add the main system and disperse for 20–40 minutes.
After applying the polish and before it cures, hold the specialized "cat-eye" magnet close to the nail surface (approximately 3–5 mm away) for 3–5 seconds to create a band of light.
Using the magnet from various directions and angles can create diverse patterns, such as starbursts or cat-eye effects.
FYOTEC's KalorFeel® magnetic silver series serves as a versatile base color, offering the wide range of particle sizes (6 specifications).
It can be used alone to create a minimalist, high-sheen finish or blended with colorants or other color-shifting pigments to produce a wide variety of gradients and special effects.
Conduct small-scale tests during formulation to verify the color effect and stability.
Results vary significantly depending on the base color: a soft fantasy effect appears on light or transparent bases, while vivid, dynamic color shifts emerge on dark bases (such as black, dark blue, or burgundy).
It is recommended to test the product over various base colors during formulation development.
It is recommended to add an appropriate amount of suspending agent to the formula to prevent pigment settling over time. Shake well before use.
