| Make your own glitter
pastes
easily, safely and inexpensively! Use
hair gel for your base.
See http://www.hennapage.com/henna/how/gilding/
to decide what hair gel to purchase. Its especially important to
get a thick, non-runny hair gel for your glitter mix, because glitter
will separate out of a runny gel, and be impossible to use. Hair
gels come in several colors, though they dry nearly transparent. Get
hair gel in a color that will compliment your glitter. Purchase Becoming Moonlight® Glitter to make your glitter paste. Chunky glitters will clog your cone tip. Use cosmetic quality glitter, not craft glitter. |  |
 Add 1 part glitter to 8 parts hair gel. (That proportion is very approximate! Please experiment and decide for yourself what's going to work best for YOU!) |  Add a small amount of lumiere powder if you want the paste to be slightly opaque. Stir these together. |
 Put your glitter gel into a carrot bag. When its time to use the glitter paste, squeeze some from the carrot
bag into a mylar cone. Apply the glitter paste with the mylar cone,
just as you would apply henna. 
|  Apply your glitter pastes bythemselves, with henna paste, or on a finished henna design. |
