Glitter 31528 Gold Sequin Star Self-Adhesive Pasties

What the Glitter 31528 star pasties are

The Glitter 31528 is a matched pair of five-pointed star pasties — self-adhesive nipple covers — finished in gold sequins. Two stars come in the pair, one for each side, cut to the same size and the same silhouette so they read as a deliberate set rather than a pair of plain circles. They sit in the accessory end of our Lingerie range: a small trim you add to an outfit rather than a garment you put on.

The appeal of a star shape over a round cover is that it stops pretending to be invisible. A circular cover is trying to disappear under fabric. A star is a graphic — it has points, it has an outline, and under a sheer or open panel it reads as part of the look. That makes this pair better suited to outfits where the cover is meant to be part of the styling than to outfits where you want nothing noticed at all.

The sequin surface, in detail

Each star is covered in small round sequins set in close rows across a glitter-textured gold base. The sequins are not a single flat shade of gold: the pair carries a mix of tones, from pale champagne and near-white through warm yellow gold to a darker antique and olive-gold, scattered across the surface rather than arranged in a pattern. That mix is what gives the stars depth under light — a single uniform gold would flatten out, while a mixed-tone field catches the light at different angles across the same point of the star.

Sequins are small flat discs applied to a backing fabric, a decorative technique that long predates modern stagewear and turns up everywhere from folk costume to showgirl bodices. On an item this small the practical consequence is texture: the surface is faceted and slightly raised, not smooth, so it will catch on loose knits and open-weave fabrics the way any sequinned trim does. Worn under a close, smooth-faced fabric it behaves itself; worn under something loosely woven it can snag, which is worth knowing before you pair it with a mohair or a loose crochet piece.

The base behind the sequins is a gold glitter-finished fabric, visible in the gaps between discs, so no contrasting backing colour shows through where the sequins do not quite meet.

Specifications

How they are worn

Pasties are applied directly to clean, dry skin and held by the adhesive on the reverse, with no straps, hooks or clips involved. Clean skin matters more than people expect: body lotion, oil, self-tan and perfume all sit on the surface and give an adhesive far less to hold onto, so anything applied to the chest beforehand should be fully absorbed or wiped away first. Press each star flat from the centre outward so no air is caught under the points.

Because they are backless and strapless by design, they open up garments that a bra rules out entirely — backless dresses, halters, deep plunges, open-sided tops, sheer panels and cut-out bodices. They are equally at home as costume trim, where the star shape is doing visible decorative work on stage, at a festival, or as part of a themed outfit.

No printed care or laundering instructions accompany this item. Sequinned trim of this kind is best kept flat, dry and away from heat between wears, and should not be put through a washing machine.

Who they suit

These suit an adult who already knows what pasties are and wants a decorative pair rather than a discreet one. If the goal is to disappear under a white t-shirt, a plain skin-tone cover is the better buy; if the goal is a visible gold star under mesh, a cut-out panel or stage lighting, this is the shape that does it. Gold is also the easier metallic to coordinate — it sits comfortably with black, white, red and most warm skin tones, and it pairs naturally with gold jewellery already in the outfit.

Adults 18 and over. Anyone with sensitive skin or a known reaction to adhesives should test a small area of skin before committing to a full evening of wear, and should stop using them if any irritation appears.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pasties come in a pack?

One pair — two matching gold sequin stars, one for each side. The Glitter 31528 is sold as the pair, not as a single cover or a multi-pack.

What shape and colour are they?

They are five-pointed stars in gold. The surface is covered in small round sequins in a mix of gold tones — pale champagne, warm yellow gold and darker antique gold — set over a gold glitter-textured base fabric.

How do they stay on without straps?

The reverse of each star carries a self-adhesive backing that holds it against the skin, so no straps, bands or clips are needed. Applying them to clean, dry, product-free skin gives the adhesive the best surface to grip.

What outfits do gold star pasties work with?

They work with anything a conventional bra cannot sit under: backless dresses, halter necks, deep plunge fronts, open-sided tops, sheer or mesh panels, and cut-out bodysuits. They are also a common choice for festival, stage and costume looks where the star is meant to be seen.
