: Ok. I went to the dollar store and found some hair/body glitter

: GREAT! No L/S, just hennaed away and coated twice with the glitter

: cause it definitely re-wets it)

Wow! I'm so glad my bizarre experimenting actually helped someone
here at the Forum -- I've benefitted so much from what I've learned
here and it feels great to give even theeeees tiny much back.

I had a sneaking suspicion that it really wouldn't matter what brand
of glitter gel was used, as it seems the addition of a touch of
elmer's is what gives it good sticking power. Probably, you could
forget glitter gel altogether and add elmer's to just about any
watery-based gel and get the same results.

Take care sparkly Yvonne!!!
