The 40 metallic-coloured balloons are round 25 cm latex balloons with a pearlescent sheen, in a mix of pink, yellow, blue and teal. Hang them in bunches above the birthday table or tie them to chairs and doorposts with ribbon, so their shine catches the light from every angle. Because the colours are mixed, they are easy to combine with rainbow decorations or garlands in the same colours.
Shine, size and box contents
- You get 40 latex balloons in one box, enough to decorate a living room or party venue.
- When inflated, they measure 25 cm, or 10 inches, a handy size for bunches and arches.
- All forty are made of 100% latex.
- The colour mix includes fuchsia, soft pink, sunny yellow, steel blue and teal, all with a metallic pearlescent sheen.
- The design is classically round, with a narrow neck that you tie shut after inflating.
- The box from the Funny Fashion brand has a hanging hole at the top.
How does a metallic latex balloon differ from a matte one?
A metallic latex balloon has a pearlescent coating that reflects light, while a standard latex balloon looks solid and matte. As a result, the colours of this set of 40 look deeper and catch highlights as soon as a lamp shines on them. Choose metallic if you want the decorations to stand out in the evening under artificial light. Filled with air, a latex balloon retains its shape for several days; filled with helium, it usually floats for less than a day, so only fill helium balloons just before the party.
Making a rainbow theme recognisable with the colour mix
A rainbow theme works best when the colours appear in a fixed order, so string them together by shade on a ribbon. Combine the shiny shades with a few solid-coloured balloons in the same colours, then matte and shiny alternate and the bunch looks fuller. Hang one bunch at the entrance and a second above the cake, so guests immediately recognise the colour theme.
