Add a splash of sparkle and a whole lot of personality to your next project with Hemway's Shaped Glitter range. Whether you’re crafting, decorating, or experimenting with beauty looks, this dazzling glitter collection is made to stand out. In this quick Q&A guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about shaped glitter – from what it is, to how you can use it, and why it’s a must-have in your creative kit.

What is shaped glitter?

Shaped glitter is exactly what it sounds like – glitter particles that come in fun, distinctive shapes rather than traditional flakes. Think stars, hearts, butterflies, moons, flowers and more! These sparkly cut-outs are ideal for adding a unique twist to arts, crafts, décor and even fashion or beauty looks.

What shapes are available?

At Hemway, we’ve curated a fabulous selection of shapes to suit every vibe. These include: heart, lightning, snowflake, star, diamond, butterfly, mickey, circle, unicorn, smiley face, christmas tree, puzzle, dolphin, square, cloud, triangle, milkshake, chocolate drop, and maple leaf.

What colours are they available in?

We offer our shaped glitter in a stunning rainbow of colours:

  • Whites: Mother Of Pearl Iridescent, White Iridescent
  • Silvers: Silver, Silver Holographic
  • Golds: Gold, Gold Holographic
  • Pinks: Baby Pink Iridescent, Pink Holographic, Rose Gold, Rose Gold Holographic
  • Blues: Sapphire Blue Holographic, Ocean Blue Holographic, Sapphire Blue, Baby Blue Iridescent.
  • Greens: Emerald Green Holographic, Lime Green Holographic, Emerald Green
  • Browns: Bronze Brown, Bronze Brown Holographic
  • Blacks: Black Holographic, Gun Metal Grey Holographic, Black

Each shape is available in select colour variations, so you can mix, match and layer to your heart’s content.

What size are the glitter shapes?

Sizes vary depending on the shape, but most Hemway shaped glitter falls within the range of 2mm to 6mm. This makes them perfectly versatile – large enough to stand out and make a statement, but small enough to work into fine-detail designs like nail art or card-making.

What can it be mixed with?

Our shaped glitter is incredibly versatile and can be mixed with clear glues, adhesives, acrylic paints, resin, nail varnish, and sealants.

Is it skin safe?

Yes, our shaped glitter is cosmetic grade and suitable for use on the face and body. It’s great for makeup, face painting, and festival looks.

Will the colour fade?
