Abstract

The composition having wet state clarity includes an aqueous latex binder combination of polymer particles with a diameter of less than 80 nanometers and a thickener. When glitter flakes are dispersed in these novel compositions in their wet state, they glitter more than conventional glitter compositions. Thus, they are more appealing to a consumer or an artist than conventional glitter compositions that tend to be cloudy or dull in their wet state.
