"Okay now we're going to talk about glitters that are immersed in gels. This is Glitter Glam by Graftobian, and this is Aqua Glitter by Ben Nye. You have to shake both of them up and get them ready to go. And they come already with a brush in them, so I'm just going to paint like a little, kind of a little flower on Amalia here, just do little dots, some cute little flower dots on here. I'm just going to take the other one, the green Aqua Glitter, and do a just nice little stem. These are just like that glitter glue, but they're already immersed in it. Sometimes you have to kind of do a couple coats of these because the glitter is just kind of floating around in the liquid, and it's not really dense. You could also go on top of this with a regular loose glitter if you wanted to. So this is glitter that is immersed in a gel, and you get these from Krylon, Graftobian, Ben Nye, several companies. They're very easy to apply, they're really good for kids and for face painting because they're already compact and they already have all the colors in them. They have the glitter in them, they come in about twenty, thirty different colors, and then when they dry they stay on really well and then you can just wash them off with soap and water. Alright!"
