Glitter and Gilding

There are even more temporary, safe tattoo options for people who cannot be stained with henna. Glitter tattoos are simply made of cosmetic grade glitter.  If you want to wash it off at the end of the day, the glitter is mixed with aloe vera gel.  If you would like the glitter to last up to 3 days, the design is first drawn on with medical grade prosthetic glue, then the glitter is applied to the glue. Gilding is applied in the same methods, by instead of cosmetic glitter, mica powder is used.  Mica is the much finer powder used to make eyeshadow, lipstick and other cosmetics. Glitter and gilding can be used alone, or entwined with a mature henna stain to make it stand out.
