    What's the best kind of spray for glittery shoes to keep them from sticking to a formal gown while walking?
    Community Answer
    Mod Podge comes in different finishes. Use a glossy one versus glue. Be careful putting it on the soles of the shoe because it makes them slippery.

    If the glitter on your shoes cracks, put a layer of clear nail polish on top of the glitter to keep it from cracking.

    What if my shoes keep dropping glitter everywhere while I walk?
    Community Answer
    You'll want to cover the shoes in another layer of sealant, step #6. If you're not sure, let that layer dry and add another layer. Let dry completely.

    Use Mod Podge. Nail polish will crack and glue will look bad. You can buy Mod Podge in almost every supermarket.
