Are

for 12 year-olds i definately would want to coat them with the glue
mixture. young girls love the glitter in it, can still see their
design through it, will keep it on longer because of that, and will
not smear it once it has gotten that dry. add it after the design is
totally dry (even give them a hair dryer to dry them selves) and then
add the glue. I put it on with a cotton ball and that seems to
work. it takes about 10 minutes to dry the glue with a hair dryer,
then the only way it comes off is when you pull it off in one big
piece.
