I don't think chunks of metal are supposed to look that delicious.
They don't. That image is something made up. It's not a natural look or behavior.
Liquid Metal usually looks more like a satin pewter when it's released from a mold, and is often left pretty much that way because it has the best corrosion resistance if left unpolished. To make it shiny, it has to be blast finished.
It should also really be called "plastic metal" or "metallic glass" or something, but those terms don't sound anywhere near as cool as "Liquid Metal"
