glitter tattoo kit

Glitter tattoos are popular for parties and events such as birthday parties, festivals, concerts, beach outings, and club nights. They’re also used as party favors or goodie-bag treats and for seasonal celebrations like Halloween, Christmas, and Easter.

Sheet-style glitter tattoos typically set in about 30 seconds after wetting and peeling. Foil/sticker-style kits can take longer than the brief times some brands advertise (for example, longer than 10 seconds in some reviews); actual application time varies by design and method.

Sheet-style tattoos: cut out the design, remove the clear film, place the design face down on skin, wet thoroughly, wait about 30 seconds, then peel off. Remove with baby oil, makeup remover, or rubbing alcohol. Foil/sticker-style kits: use the provided sticker and a roller/foil cartridge to transfer metallic foil per the kit instructions; these adhesives generally peel off or are removed according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Most kits offer a glittery or shimmering finish. Some craft-style kits add metallic foil in multiple colors and include decorative jewel gems for extra sparkle.
