How to use “poof” glitter

This is a very popular and easy way to use your glitter.

After you’ve done your henna design and it is still wet, lightly squeeze the glitter poof bottle over top of the henna design, so that the glitter falls right on top of the design giving it that sparkly shine.

Once the paste crumbles off or is removed, the glitter will also come off in this process.

This method is great for kids, festivals, and many occasions to add something extra special to your henna design, either as a professional henna artist or enthusiast.

 How to create glitter tattoos

In this method you can create glitter temporary tattoos that last at least 4-5 days. This method is great for adding glitter to a design that you want the glitter to last longer, such as for bridal mehndi, or for kids who can’t have a henna design.

To do this, you’ll need acrylic adhesive. You paint the acrylic adhesive on into the stencil or freehand, and allow to dry. Once this is dry, you can poof the glitter color(s) that you’d like to apply. Just brush or gently blow the excess away.

 How to create glitter gel

 This can last a few hours or up to 24 hours, as this depends on what quality of gel you use to make your glitter gel.

To make glitter gel, get a high quality gel that is long lasting and/or waterproof. A good quality gel is visible by its very small air bubbles inside of the hair gel product. You will need to add 2 parts glitter to 8 parts gel. You can play around with the proportions as desired.

NOTE: Please always use high quality products that are safe for cosmetic use.
