If you are wondering when to add glitter to epoxy resin, there are no rules.
Adding glitter to resin during the mixing of the resin will integrate glitter throughout that pour.
To do this, you will mix the resin with the hardener, add colorant (or leave it clear), and mix it well.
Then add the glitter and mix again before pouring. Alternatively, you can add glitter after you mix and pour so it sits on top of the resin.
You might prefer to have the glitter blended into the resin to add a certain depth look.
You can add glitter after pouring the resin so it sits on top, like in a defined line, or add it into the resin mix. It is all a matter of preference.
One thing to know though, if you want to add the glitter on top of the resin, it can take away from that uniform glossiness of the top resin layer if you are sprinkling glitter onto a larger area.
So you may want to add a clear layer of mixed resin and hardener on top if you decide to add glitter on top of your pour.

Hi Dayline, We like many brands but have used ArtResin the most. For an extra strong finish, check out Stone Coat on YouTube.
I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK!!!… PLEASE which is your favorite epoxy resin? I am looking for a very strong finish and longlasting result… thanks!
Hi Sara, we would suggest adding more glitter to get a better consistency. How much glitter are you adding per ml and what type of resin are you using? If the resin isn’t a thick consistency to be able to disperse the glitter throughout, you might want to try a different brand that will hold the glitter better.
