Those are beautiful! How do you get the glitter to stick?

I guess I should add that it’s a problem when I have glitter on the tops and don’t want to rub them off.

My soap tops never look as shiny, fresh, and glossy as when they are first poured. I use 33% water and force gel, so I don’t think soda ash is the issue, but maybe it is because I’ve been pouring at emulsion. For a minute I even thought about pouring melt and pour over the top in hopes of...
