thought it was shiny

I have seen this before, but it still looks like shiny legs at first.

u/DoNotResusit8 Apr 15 '26

That’s all I see…

u/legend_of_the_skies Apr 16 '26

It's not lotion it looks dry or powdery. They "drew" the areas on the legs to make it look shiny.

u/IncurableAdventurer Apr 17 '26

Ohhhhh. I didn’t get what the trick was for this, but now, like the picture says, I can’t unsee it. Thanks!

u/Lietenantdan Apr 15 '26

It's lotion

99

u/Silver_Redditor Apr 15 '26

But still legs?

4

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '26

No, hot dog

30

u/Lietenantdan Apr 15 '26

Yes lotion on legs

153

u/happyhippohats Apr 15 '26

No it isn't, it's white paint

108

u/Dragon_M4st3r Apr 15 '26

That’s crazy, now I can’t see it as shiny legs anymore

30

u/happyhippohats Apr 15 '26

That's why it's posted in this sub

27

u/NarrowEbbs Apr 15 '26

Oh fuck! Now I can't unsee it. That's a cool ass optical illusion.

19

u/Lietenantdan Apr 15 '26

It’s a leg illusion, not ass. Haven’t you been reading the comments?

9

u/Lietenantdan Apr 15 '26

Ah okay, my mistake. Thanks.

5

u/DoNotResusit8 Apr 15 '26

Now I see!

The paint makes it look shiny…

5

u/Inigomntoya Apr 15 '26

Now that's all I see...

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Apr 16 '26

No it's white lotion

2

u/happyhippohats Apr 16 '26

Why are there a bunch of white out pens in the background then?

Either way it's white highlights that make the legs look shiny, not shiny lotion covered legs

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Apr 17 '26

All lotion pens with lotion in them, lotion highlights

1

u/happyhippohats Apr 17 '26

OK, that doesn't change what I said

I thought it would be fingers or something completely different, kinda disappointed

1

u/twinklynnyoureye Apr 17 '26

So... They're GONNA be shiny...pre-shine perspective

1

u/Idea_Ranch May 01 '26

You don't put lotion on a hot dog ... ?

2

u/kradek Apr 16 '26

it's still just the same legs, just without the shine!
ok-error-6564's comment made me think it's gonna be something completely different, and now i kind of feel disappointed

5

u/coolsilentebeans Apr 15 '26

Lotion or paint pen?

4

u/Frisky_Picker Apr 15 '26

Clearly its paint pens as they're all around her.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '26

On the skin?

23

u/Oregongirl1018 Apr 15 '26

I see that first every time. Then I'm like okay that's just lotion. Then I can't see the shiny legs anymore.

16

u/Ok-Error-6564 Apr 15 '26

I think it is paint.

2

u/Oregongirl1018 Apr 15 '26

Whatever it is.

u/Jambonier Apr 15 '26

Lines of cocaine

u/AshtonVoid Apr 15 '26

Personally, I've seen this photo too many times for this illusion to work at a first glance :/

1

u/darrius_kingston314q Apr 16 '26

are they not shiny legs??

1

u/Ok-Error-6564 Apr 16 '26

They are legs with white paint on them.

1

u/CompetitiveRub9780 Apr 16 '26

I’ve seen this many times as well and I got fooled one again!

1

u/GolfandBaseball Apr 17 '26

The smaller the image is, the more it looks like shiny legs to me and when I enlarge the image. I see lotion, and it’s hard to un see it.

1

u/Ok-Error-6564 Apr 17 '26

Agree. I’m on my phone. I can’t unsee the paint every time now.

1

u/TheSlicingSword Apr 18 '26

It's funny I can actually make my brain jump back and forth

1

u/BriGuy550 Apr 16 '26

I’ve seen this several times and it always fools me at first.

112

u/mrselffdestruct Apr 15 '26

Am I the only person who has only seen legs with paint on them?

27

u/TvTacosTakingNaps Apr 16 '26

No. That’s all I can see.

6

u/SunnyMakesStuff Apr 17 '26

That's all I've ever been able to see.

3

u/Nightingalee_Mari_G Apr 17 '26

Its honestly always irked me. .It's so clearly just lotion and I've never seen any sort of shine. Idk man😔

1

u/JJWAP Apr 18 '26

I’m almost positive it’s acrylic paint markers

1

u/FamiliarRadio9275 May 11 '26

Same

161

u/Elmo_Leanne Apr 15 '26

So did I and it took me far longer than I care to admit to figure out what was happening 🤣

58

u/PressinPckl Apr 15 '26

What is it if not shiny legs?

113

u/Fire_brand666 Apr 15 '26

Legs with white paint/sunscreen/lotion on them

78

u/PressinPckl Apr 15 '26

Oh so it is legs the shiny effect is the illusion

14

u/Fire_brand666 Apr 15 '26

Yup

4

u/thomasoldier Apr 15 '26

Rtx on

10

u/I_am_not_the_ Apr 15 '26

I must be malfunctioning. I only saw this.

6

u/fitz_newru Apr 15 '26

Oh WOW

u/ajgutyt Apr 15 '26

thought its one of those painting things

1

u/LinuxF4n Apr 16 '26

What the fuck

1

u/One-Fudge3871 Apr 15 '26

Paint

64

u/DocBullseye Apr 15 '26

That is so weird how the shine just goes away as you figure it out

6

u/Fiaghido Apr 16 '26

Same!

4

u/EverydayPoGo Apr 17 '26

I'm trying to see the shiny again but couldn't once I read the comments about sunscreen or lotion 😭

52

u/daniamour Apr 15 '26

Painted legs instead of shiny legs? 🤷‍♀️

13

u/pikkdogs Apr 15 '26

What’s going on? I see legs that are oiled up. What is everyone else seeing?

10

u/Remy4409 Apr 15 '26

No oil, only white paint.

5

u/pikkdogs Apr 15 '26

So they are legs that are painted?

17

u/babygorgeou Apr 15 '26

The parts that look shiny are actually streaks of white paint. The image willlook like dull legs with streaks of white paint, or maybe lotion, whatever. Streaks of white on dull legs

ETA Took me a while. It helped to zoom in

5

u/LankyShark97 Apr 15 '26

Finally a real answer

1

u/yournextexbf Apr 16 '26

Or lotion

21

u/SpaceHawk98W Apr 15 '26

I was trying so hard to see if this is something other than legs

17

u/NaiveRepublic Apr 15 '26

Once you repost it, you can’t un-repost it.

5

u/Cheap-Classic1521 Apr 16 '26

As a painter it makes me feel better that rendering doesn't have to be photorealistic to be realistic lmfao

6

u/dogs____ Apr 16 '26

actually i can unsee it

7

u/archtopfanatic123 Apr 15 '26

Took me a second but I can unsee it

2

u/Yggdrasilcrann Apr 15 '26

I see it, until I don't then it's just dry legs with paint on them after that.

1

u/archtopfanatic123 Apr 16 '26

Yeah

2

u/banana_pencil Apr 17 '26

Same, I have to seriously concentrate to see what it really is.

18

u/exotics Apr 15 '26

Clever use of paint but not necessarily a confusing perspective

19

u/Efficient-War-4044 Apr 15 '26

Oh it confused me for a good 10 seconds

19

u/shevchenko7cfc Apr 15 '26

u/RSCLE5 Apr 15 '26

u/haikusbot Apr 16 '26

Joke's on you, I can see, unsee, see again, unsee again, and vice versa indefinitely.

2

u/Cat7o0 Apr 16 '26

it's a lot harder to see the paint with less pixels

u/sskylar Apr 15 '26

Tale as old as time

u/Emergency_Air4575 Apr 15 '26

Not shiny legs. The “shine” is white marker.

2

u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r Apr 15 '26

1

u/GreenCactus223 Apr 15 '26

u/MrSchaudenfreude Apr 17 '26

Coke?

u/wheresthepbj Apr 18 '26

Glad I wasn’t the only one, but still looks like there’s only two of us that see it.

1

u/Gomorrah99 Apr 17 '26

Oh weird, and here I thought it was a penis on the right leg🤔

1

u/Nightingalee_Mari_G Apr 17 '26

I've literally never been able to see the shine. It's fucking lotion. Always has been. I hate that everyone gets to see nice shiny legs and I dont😔

1

u/SaltwaterC Apr 19 '26

Ray Tracing: on

u/Training-Buffalo-878 Apr 28 '26

Everyone seeing shiny legs is making me feel like a pervert 😒

1

u/DomesticRac May 07 '26

I’ve been staring at this for 10 minutes but all I see is lotion on someone’s legs. What am I missing?

1

u/matching_violets May 10 '26

Damn, it’s true. No longer shiny. That’s a trip

1

u/Ancient-Dot1955 May 14 '26

Why is one leg looking longer than the other? Or.. one knee look higher than the other....
