Man! Now I have to go get more glitter! I bet that works great out of the Henna bottles.

Thank you for sharing!

Ya, I use the Henna Bottles....It took forever to dry half way....should I use the one with the alcohol in it or the alcohol free kind??? whats the deal?

Hmmm, I don't know. I didn't realize there was a choice. I had been searching *forever* for clear aloe gel so I just grabbed it. I will check what I have and let you know.
I know the glitter gel you can buy in the stores takes a bit to dry as well.... Can anyone who's used them weigh in here with their experience with store-bought glitter gel dry times?
I can try mine out again and actually time it.

I'll get back to you.

OK, glitter in the bed....I like that idea for naughty boys, tenacious pink! (Could I be so bad? Maybe...depends on how mad they make me, ah creative discipline!)

What size metal tip did you use? Amerikan Body art sells several sizes. Don't want one too big or too small.

Haha...that's funny Anniel. Very creative!
Funnyfacesofct, I used .7 mm and .9 mm I think. Not sure which.
I know I have both. I'm sure both work equally fine.
