Description
Sometimes you just want your shoes to gleam. The Collonil Shine Cream is made for exactly that moment: a colourless cream packed with fine shine particles that lifts smooth and metallic leather to a brilliant, eye-catching gloss. It is one of those small pots that makes a big difference, and I reach for it whenever a pair needs to look its very best for a special occasion.
Because it is colourless, it works beautifully over any shade without changing the colour, and it is a particular favourite for metallic leathers where you want to enhance that reflective, fashionable finish. Alongside the shine, the cream nourishes and helps protect the leather, so your shoes are not just glossier – they are cared for too.
Why choose Collonil Shine Cream?
- Brilliant high-gloss finish: the shine particles create a striking, reflective gleam that turns heads.
- Colourless formula: safe to use over any colour of leather without altering the shade.
- Ideal for metallic leather: it is especially good at enhancing the fashionable sheen of metallic finishes.
- Nourishes and protects: as well as adding shine, it conditions the leather to keep it supple.
- Compact and easy: the handy 60ml pot is perfect for quick touch-ups before you head out.
How to use Collonil Shine Cream
- Make sure your shoes are clean and free of dust.
- Apply a small amount of the cream to a soft cloth.
- Work it evenly over the leather in gentle circular movements.
- Leave it for a minute to settle.
- Buff with a clean cloth or brush to bring up a brilliant gloss.
Haico’s tip: for real depth of shine, apply one thin layer, buff it, then add a second thin layer and buff again. Two light coats give a far glossier result than one heavy one – the classic way to a proper mirror finish.
Good to know
A great shine is built on a clean, conditioned surface. Before reaching for the Shine Cream, make sure any dirt is removed and, on smooth leather, that the leather has been fed with a nourishing cream first. The shine layer then sits on top and reflects evenly, rather than highlighting dust or dry patches. Because this cream is colourless, it is also a handy finishing touch over the top of coloured polish – it lifts the gloss without adding or altering colour. Keep the pot sealed between uses and it will stay soft and ready for that quick pre-occasion sparkle.

Frequently asked questions
Will it change the colour of my shoes?
No. The cream is colourless and simply enhances the natural colour and shine of the leather.
Can I use it on any leather colour?
Yes. Because it is colourless it is safe over black, brown, metallic and every colour in between.
Is it only for metallic shoes?
Not at all. It is ideal for metallic leather but works beautifully on smooth leather whenever you want extra gloss.
How long does the shine last?
A buffed layer of Shine Cream holds its gloss well through normal wear. For a special occasion, apply it fresh on the day and you will have that head-turning gleam right when you need it. A quick re-buff between wears brings the sparkle straight back with no extra product needed.

Alia Mehdili –
It’s not colorless, it creates a whit/silverish shade on black leather. I’m not going to use this cream.
