Sparkly new shoes!

I have bought myself some rather spank new shoes. They are proper Dorothy Wizard of Oz style high highs - all red and sparkly!
Problem is... I am loosing red glitter left, right n centre and was hoping someone might have some idea about how I could prevent this... cos I am finding bits of glitter in my underwear draw and I don't want my shoes getting bare and naked! Any ideas folks?
There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home!
Cheers

Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

I would have suggested a clear nail varnish but spray varnish is probably a better solution.
I think its nigh on impossible to get glitter to stay in one place though.The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:0 -

Well then I can only suggest you follow the yellow brick road to Oz,get the wizard to give the scarecrow his brain,then you could ask a brainy scarecrow what he recommends for your shoes:Dcrawley_girl wrote:But I can't help it!!! If you saw the shoes then you'd want to too!

A quick fix might be to spray them with hairspray??

Oh I feeeeeel for you, back in my pre OS days *coff* I spent £70 on my Cinderella shoes
I love these shoes soooooooooooooo much but the glitter has come off the toes. Friends did suggest rolling them in new glitter but I'm scared of wrecking them so I only wear them for very, very special occasions - like my birthday party next week :T
Hope you find a good solution because I will so nick it!

I was once told in a shoe shop that spraying with hair spray helps the glitter to stay in place. It's also supposed to work for glittery tops as well. I haven't tried it though so can't vouch for it working.:smileyhea0
