Chunky and charming

Best Coarse Glitter

When it comes to larger projects — think school posters and parade signs — chunky glitter is the way to go. Designed for greater visibility, it’s almost excessive in its sparkle — in the best possible way. We especially love this holographic version from Let’s Resin. With fine glitter mixed right in, this option is really wonderful for creating unique, one-of-a-kind glitter art.

Pros:

• Mixed containers of mostly chunky glitter with bits of fine for fuller coverage
• Ideal for specialized nail art
• Bold color choices

Cons:

• If you’re looking for purely chunky glitter, this does contain fine glitter mixed within as well
• We wish there were other size options available

Pros:

• Iridescent, holographic sparkle in each shade
• High definition color stays put on nails and in makeup
• Made with cosmetic grade pigment for safety

Cons:

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best way to clean up after a glitter spill?
Hesitant to play with glitter? We get it — once you spill glitter, you’ll find it in the most unlikely places. Your best bet is to use water and a paper towel. If you use a lightly wet paper towel similar to how’d you use a broom, you can clean up virtually every piece of glitter rather quickly and easily. Otherwise, a vacuum with an extension piece works to expertly suck up all of the annoying little pieces. You can also do a bit of both — sweep using a wet towel into a large pile of glitter, and then come through with the vacuum attachment.

What’s the difference between regular glitter and holographic glitter?
Think all that glitters is gold? Think again. Traditional glitter just reflects light, while holographic glitter bends light, creating a magical rainbow of color on each tiny speck of glitter. The effect is incredible for everything from simple artwork to more complex resin pieces, nail art, or make-up.
