Is glitter gel hard to find?

Baby oil plus sprinkling glitter from Michael's worked for me.

most makeup shops and theater supply places have it. or its everywhere on eBay.

you can DIY as suggested, but the advantage to getting the premade is you know its been tested to be hypoallergenic.  Nothing in glitter gel should cause an allergic reaction but these days better safe. its not expensive.

Roll the background outside-in, put in a garbage bag, put model in the shower, lather, rinse. None at all.

Yes. Agree. This was according to the label a non-toxic, skin-safe, poly glitter. But there was no FDA approved on it.

Quoted for so much truth.

If you can't afford cosmetic glitter, what makes you think you can afford the lawsuit when a model gets some in her eye and scratches her cornea?

Same goes for everywhere else, really. Sharp flakes of metal in the hoo-ha has to be worse than sand...
