If you are new to the sparkling world of Glitter Tattoos you should find that this step by step guide and the pictures above will show you how easy they are to apply. In a few minutes you will be able to create a beautiful sparkling piece of body decoration. With a little more practice and imaginitive use of stencils and different combinations of some of the 70 glitters that we supply, you will be creating fabulous, fashionable and fun pieces of body art.

Step by step guide

Step 1...Clean the skin area with an isopropyl alcohol wipe and allow a few seconds to dry. Peel off the white part of the 3-part Ybody stencil and place on the desired spot on the skin. Carefully remove the clear part of the sticker to leave the black stencil in place.

Step 2...Cover the exposed skin area thoroughly with a thin layer of Ybody Pink Glue. Remove the stencil and wait until the glue becomes completely transparent.

Step 3...Sprinkle, puff or apply with a brush,  a generous amount of some of Ybody's 70 different glitters. Press the glitter into the glue with a brush or a sponge.

Step 4...Clear the left over glitter with a brush and admire your handy work!

The resulting Glitter Tattoo is waterproof and long-lasting. If you follow this method and use Ybody products your Glitter Tattoos should easily last a week if they are placed in an area which is not rubbed harshly by clothing.

Caution

  • For external use only. NEVER use close to the eyes.
  • Must be used with adult supervision

Tips

  • Store your stencils away from direct sunlight
  • Always remember to close the glue bottle immediately after use to avoid evaporation
  • Ybody glitters are very finely cut so avoid working in a windy place
  • A stiff nylon brush is best for picking up glitter and is much easier to clean. Alternatively you an use a puffer bottle to add the glitter.
  • The glitter tattoo will wear off naturally after a week or so. If it needs to be removed sooner, use isopropyl alcohol or baby oil or other oil-based lotion
  • Be careful not to apply any alcohol-based product such as perfume directly over the glitter tattoo or the glue base might dissolve
  • Glitter Tattoos are not recommended for use on under 3's, above the neck-line or over broken skin
