Once it is cure a GREAT way to get rid of glitter (or dust when filing) is to use a Can of Air from your local office supply store. Use the attached straw on the can and just give it short bursts of air. I won't travel to my seminars or do shoots without a can. I use it instead of duster tools which cause cross contamination. It's also great for dusting polish bottles on a display rack!
