Shine Bright Like a... Firework!
Since most 4th of July parties will last well after the sun sets, plan to incorporate an ultra-violet light into the festivities. Our Savage Scorpions glow naturally when placed under ultra-violet light, giving you something bright, shiny, and uniquely awesome to look at once the fireworks are over!
