Aren't oil pastels the best? I love to combine them with the tempera cakes and then put a layer of glitter paint over the top. This is an example from one of my kindergarten students, using all three media in a kind of Warholish design.
I'm still trying to figure out a recipe for a really transparent glitter paint. Any ideas?

This is absolutely gorgeous.
What about pouring glitter into Elmer's glue and painting with that ... would that work?
Or maybe pouring it into ModPodge?
I've always been mad for ModPodge. Love the stuff.
I've tried that...it looks good, but the glitter gets a bit dull and the whole surface isn't as shiny as with the commercial glitter paint. This weekend I'm going to try ooking up some cornstarch "paint" and leaving it clear,then adding some superfine glitter. I'll let you know...
I was just going to say Elmer's glue.
Or a water-based top coat varnish with glitter mixed in.
Unless you are going for homemade.
