I wouldn't try it cuz of the strong smell and formula.its md for nails nt eyes.Your eyes r very sensitive and eyelids r delicate.bad idea.

No I wouldn't recommend it.. You may need nail polish remover to remove it and ouch and toxic! Totally not safe!

No!! If it falls into your eye it will give you cuts!

I'm guessing its just glitter though so you can apply and remove it easily. Just remember if it falls into your eyes it will hurt.

No way. Eyes are very sensitive, the glitter particles can irritate and scratch the cornea. Don't compromise your vision!

Okay so I know this is super late but I'm posting this if someone new comes across it. So actually you can use the loose glitter pigment for nails on your eyes because it's considered cosmetic grade. Cosmetic glitters are either acrylic or polyester and they are colored with colarants like micas and iron oxides. The only thing you need to worry about between nail and eye glitters is the size. Eye glitters are cut in finely milled circles so you want something that states fine or ultra fine glitter for the eyes. But honestly you can go with any size cut you want its just that fine tends to be more comfortable. But still you should ask the seller if you are unsure ask them if it's fda approved what kind of colorants they used was it mica or dyed if it is dyed then stirr clear because it's most likely craft glitter and cosmetic glitter is solvent resistant unlike craft glitter so ask about that too.
