Begonias

Why do the spots on polka dot begonias look the way they do?


(Not my plant, just an ex of the variety I’m talking abt)
I have a question for the professionals, or just the super nerds, why/how do the silver spots on these plants have that unique shimmery quality to them? They always look like they’re painted on with nail polish, and at first I thought that was it, seeing how cacti get painted at big box stores. After buying one and caring for it I’ve obviously figured out that is not the case, but I am still curious why it looks like that!
