pearlized
Shimmering like nacre
Pearlized describes a surface treated or finished to have a lustrous, iridescent sheen resembling mother-of-pearl: pearlized nail polish, pearlized buttons, pearlized car paint.
The effect catches light at different angles, creating a soft shimmer rather than a mirror-like shine.
Common in cosmetics, plastics, and automotive finishes.
