First question. Is all glitter the same: No. a lot of glitter will not take the heat of melted plastic and will make a glob in the plastic. Be careful what you buy. As far as  colors there are a lot of different shades sold by different mold makers. Buy small bottles until you find the shade you want and rember you can mix glitters to make your own concotchion

I'm not 100% but I think most (maybe not all) who sell glitter for baits buy it from the same place.  This is because they probably have the best heat stability out there in a poly glitter.  There are other options, metal glitter is one, that can be used, but some care needs to be applied if using a microwave.  It's metal and if enough clumps up on the bottom it will get more exciting than you probably want.
