Effol Kids Star-Shine 300ml

Shake the bottle well before use: Effol asks for that on the gold version and it makes sense on the silver one too, because the glitter particles settle at the bottom. Spray onto a clean, dry coat and hold the bottle a hand's width away, so the shimmer lands evenly rather than in patches.

If you want to make shapes, use the stencils Effol offers as pdf files: hold the stencil against the coat and spray over it.

Effol developed the spray for children from 6 years, but that is not a safety mark. The label carries EUH208, which states that the product may cause an allergic reaction, and the formula contains alcohol denat. and a bittering substance. So let young children spray under supervision, never aim towards the head and have them wash their hands afterwards.

This spray is for children who want to dress up their pony for a pony camp, a show, a photo session or a party. Pink, Effol's silver glitter, is the classic choice with a raspberry scent; Gold gives a warmer sparkle on coat and mane and smells fruity and fresh.

If you are after shine rather than glitter, the Effol SuperStar-Shine 750 ml is the regular coat shine spray for coat, mane and tail, and the Effol Mähnen-Schweif-Liquid 500 ml is the product for more volume in the long hair. If it is about plaiting for a show, the Leovet 5-Star Vlechtgel and the NAF Vlechtspray 500 ml are in the range.

Shake the bottle well before use. Spray the shimmer onto a clean, dry coat, onto the mane or onto the tail, if you like through an Effol stencil. Never aim towards the head. On the gold version the spray dries and can then be brushed out.

Effol gives no storage advice for this spray. Keep the bottle closed, out of the sun and away from heat, and have children wash their hands after spraying.
