Angie, I had to google what glittermark was LOlL I have never seen it, I got snazaroo gel with my walk around pallet and I never used it, it was so messy.

This looks so cool, I wonder how many dots does it take to get to the end lol!

I have the 1 ounce jars with the loose glitter and leave a small eyeshadow applicator in each jar (of the four colours I carry!) and when I want to apply it I tell the person ro tilt back and close their eyes, I don't TOUCH them with the applicator, just tap my finger on the handle to knock the glitter off where I want it. Generally it is a sprinkle but it can be pretty accurate too if you get close to where you want it before tapping.

If I want to put glitter on damp paint I will use a q-tip.

I have both glitter mark and liquid bling... I like the bling because of the tips. I have a hard time doing anything with glitter mark because it's just too close to the skin I guess... I can't seem to get it to make balls... only cones. I do like the colors though; just not enough to transfer them to empty bottles with the metal tips.

Going to have to try some metal cone tip bottles - thanks Clayton - hadn't thought of that. I'm mostly using them though to add a wash of glitter to an area since I'm so clumsy still with the glitter.

I need to get out and get some applicators (been so snowed in the last week) to try Shannon's method. When I use the end of the paint brush I get big squares and of course still get glitter on everything else. And Metina sent me a sample of blue fairy dust in my last order so I HAVE to learn how to use glitter now!

The glittermarks for me have been hit and miss. I have 6 colors....and wouldn't venture to buy more. Some flow out nicely as others don't more like gurgle and spurt, if coming out at all. I prefer the Li uid Bling in silver and gold.

Thank you!!! I thought maybe I was crazy that now that I have some other colors I am finding the same thing - some are smoother than others AND I swear some dry faster than others.

I have gold and silver...love my gold, but it dries slow. The silver is horrid..it pours out. I'm so dissapointed! I want more colors but am afaid to waste my money and have it turn out like the silver..I'm on such a budget!

I just brought some glitter mark... (I had the other gels with the metal tips and wasn't a big fan) and I have to say they are my latest favourite thing. Usually on teens or older, but I think it can really add to the design.
I have a irredecent white and the gold which I both love!

Buy some tips

I'm not sure because I haven't bought the Glitter Marks but I think those little metal tips will screw onto the bottles. The Liquid Bling come plain and the tips seem to be threaded and screw on. Check with Metina to see if they would fit...she sells the tips separately in the shop.
