Glitter inside glass- Using two aistandard surfaces on metal and one glass . The metal shader will be the colour of the flakes. Plug the two shaders into a aimixshader. The glass into shader 1 and the other into shader 2. Set to Blend. And the flakes alpha into the mix of the aimixshader to create a mask. Assign the mix shader to your object. Play around with the flake setting to get different effects.
