All that glitters isn’t gold, but the Glitter certainly creates a priceless effect when you apply it to your gorgeous summer ensemble. Shine bright like a diamond under that glaring tropical sun and show the world exactly what you’re worth.

  • Select the color that works best with your edit
  • Pinch and stretch the photo to zoom in to the area you’d like to bedazzle
  • Use the cursor to carefully apply the Glitter
