Yes its glitter and I use thin CA.

Very nice! I've used glitter on some pens and it works really well. What I've done is mix some up with med or think CA on a piece of foil and then use a scoop and mash it into the groove. I found that putting the glitter in the groove and trying to put glue on top ended up with the majority of the glitter falling off...

This is the first time I have tried this but what I did was wrapped masking tape round the blank with the grooves cut in it just leaving a small gap. Then add the glitter vibrating it into place once the gap was full drip in thin ca. Leave to set, remove the masking tape and finish turning.
