It's super easy. I do the henna design as normal, then I get a "glitter poofer" (like those sold at <a href="http://www.amerikanbodyart.com/" rel="nofollow">Amerikan Body Art</a>, which are a lot like the poofers manicurists use to add glitter to your nails) and poof little clouds of glitter over the design while it's still wet. It only sticks to the wet design, not your skin, so it sort of colors the henna. People also use glitter pastes, kind of like metallic puffy paint used on fabrics, to touch up finished henna designs. I don't have personal experience with it, but Amerikan Body Art sells kits that show you how to make non-henna glitter "tattoos," which can also be used like glitter paste to make designs really fun. Experiment with it and have fun! I love sparlies, and ladies who get glitter on their henna tend to leave it on longer, too. Hi Areen!
