The creator, Christine, investigates a viral "diamond cappuccino" from a Mumbai coffee shop that claims to use edible glitter. However, Christine suspects the glitter is actually disco dust, a non-edible plastic glitter. She asks her followers for help in gathering evidence and discovers that the glitter doesn't dissolve in water, unlike sugar. Christine then experiments with applying disco dust to her nails, finding that it looks similar to nail glitter. She also tries to apply edible sugar glitter to her nails using different methods, including agave syrup and honey. The sugar glitter doesn't stick well, but using a gel taco as a base coat helps it adhere. Christine concludes that while the sugar glitter looks like rock candy, it's not practical for everyday wear. She also notes that the disco dust is not edible, despite being marketed as "cake glitter."
