Chameleon Flakes vs Powder in Resin - Which Finish is Better?

75| Chameleon flakes or chameleon powder - which finish is better for resin art? We tested both in epoxy resin so you don't have to guess which one to buy.

Both create gorgeous colour-shifting effects, but the finishes are totally different. One gives you chunky sparkle drama, the other delivers smooth iridescent shimmer. If you're wondering which chameleon product to use in your resin projects, this comparison breaks down everything you need to know.

WHAT WE COVER:
✨ How to apply chameleon flakes in resin (and why they're messy little devils)
✨ How to apply chameleon powder in resin (spoiler: way easier)
✨ The black backing technique that makes colour shift pop
✨ Side-by-side finish comparison - sparkle vs shimmer
✨ Which one we'd actually buy again (honest answer!)
