Lustre dust or pearl dust. Lustres more a coloured metalic shimmer, pearl dust is pearlescent sheen with a touch of colour.
If ur bc crusts, then I'd use a bc brush to brush it on. If it's non crating, I'm not sure - maybe tapping the brush above the cake.

You can also buy aerosol cans of shimmer spray. I have used PME (brand) Luster Spray in pearl (color).
I piped Little Mermaid on a cake. After the icing was cold and hard, I took a soft paint brush and painted her fin/skirt thingy. Came out VERY shimmery. Luster dust comes in tons of colors. I had used a teal butter cream color and painted with a green luster dust.
