Where to use it
This liquid glass button looks best sitting on top of a photo or a colorful gradient: the hero of a travel landing page, the “Continue” step of an onboarding flow or the booking button over a hotel picture. The blur picks up whatever is behind it, so it always feels part of the scene.
On a flat white background the effect disappears, so give it something to blur. Start with the glass opacity: a bit higher on busy photos keeps the label readable, lower on soft gradients lets more color through.
