What exactly is Twinkle Glitter?
Twinkle is an ultra-fine, oil-free, water-based glitter gel that adds sparkle and shine to a horse's mane, tail, body, legs, braids, hooves, eyes and muzzle. Because the formula is water-based rather than oil-based, it grips the hair without leaving a greasy residue, and the radiant color stays subtle in shade yet catches fire under bright sun and arena lights. The same gel also stencils onto fabric, metal, wood and leather, so the sparkle is not limited to the horse. Twinkle bills itself as the original "Bling" for horses, the decoration owners can adorn their beloved animals with safely.

Who makes Twinkle Glitter Products?

Demand turned a homemade idea into a real company. In 2014 Tina's daughter-in-law, Kara Billings, took over the business and has since expanded the line beyond horses to include products for dogs and people. It remains a family-run, proudly American operation.

It can be used on the mane, tail, body, legs, braids, hooves, eyes and muzzle to give a horse a radiant, eye-catching shimmer.

Who founded Twinkle Products and when?
Twinkle was started in 1999 by avid horsewoman Tina Billings, an Oregon equestrian and mother of a horse-crazy daughter. She wanted a safe, super-fine glitter that would sparkle in the sun and highlight a horse's mane, tail, muzzle and hooves. What began as a homemade gel for her own family grew into a company after fellow equestrians kept asking where to buy it.
Who owns Twinkle now?
In 2014, Tina Billings' daughter-in-law, Kara Billings, took over the company. Under Kara's leadership the line has grown well beyond horses to include glitter products for dogs and for people. Twinkle remains a family-run, American-made business.

Is Twinkle Glitter safe for horses?
Twinkle's water-based, oil-free formula was designed from the start to be a safe way to decorate horses, and the company states it takes great care that every product is safe for pets. Because it is water-based, it brushes, wipes or rinses out without harsh solvents. As with many cosmetic products sold in the United States, some retailers list a California Proposition 65 notice, so customers in California will see that standard warning; if you have specific concerns, contact Twinkle directly at 877-445-4883.
How do you apply Twinkle Glitter Gel?
Apply the gel to clean, groomed areas using your fingers or the included applicator, wiping in the direction of hair growth, then let it dry. To create a design, place a stencil on the desired area, squeeze the gel onto the applicator, and gently sweep it across the stencil. You can also wipe or brush it through the mane and tail, and mix colors for custom effects.
How do you remove Twinkle Glitter?
Removal is easy because the gel is water-based. You can brush it out with a stiff brush, wipe it away with a damp or wet cloth, or simply rinse it out. The sparkle will linger for days if you want it to, but it comes out whenever you are ready.
What colors does Twinkle Glitter Gel come in?

Can Twinkle Glitter be used on anything besides horses?
Yes. The water-based gel can be stenciled onto hair, fabric, metal, wood and leather, so it works far beyond the horse itself.

This makes it popular for costume classes, themed events and parties.
What occasions is Twinkle good for?
Twinkle is popular for costume and parade classes, breed shows, drill teams, fun shows, photo shoots, birthday parties and simply making an everyday horse extra special.

How long does Twinkle Glitter last on a horse?
Once applied and dried, the sparkle will linger for days if you want it to. Because it is water-based you control how long it stays, removing it with a brush, damp cloth or rinse whenever you like. For hooves, Twinkle Toes is applied in two coats for a longer-lasting, protective finish.
