Silver Holographic Glitter for Paint Glitter Paint for Walls, Glitter Paint additive, Paint Glitter for Latex/Acrylic, Flakes for Interior and Exterior Walls, Ceilings [100g / 3.5oz]

The media could not be loaded. I went to Lowes and purchased "Valspar Ultra Interior Paint & Primer" - Semi-Gloss Paint. The Paint Color Sample was 'Sherwin Williams' and Lowes has these within their paint color selections. I chose "ARGOS HGSW7065" as my paint color. It is for a little girl's room and I didn't want to go too dark in the gray family, and even with two coats of paint, it is the perfect shade of gray.I read multiple reviews before hand and really appreciated all the tips. I think the key is to purchase a paint mixing tool to attach to your electric drill. I placed the gallon of paint inside a five gallon bucket in order to avoid spills or a mess. I put '1' coat of paint on the walls WITHOUT the glitter additive, and let it dry thoroughly.Next, I used '1' gallon of paint, and slowly mixed in '2' bags of silver glitter. I then proceeded to fill my paint roller pan and would use up that batch, then use the drill to mix up the paint inside the gallon bucket thoroughly, and then poor up the next batch of paint and so on. This way, my paint didn't thicken up or dry up.As I was painting, I did see some glitter begin to shine through, but when it was thoroughly dry, I actually saw a ton of glitter, so much that I contemplated NOT buffing the walls. BUT, I am glad that we did, because slightly buffing the walls, the glitter immediately came to life. (Buffing the walls does not knock off glitter, it simply removes the paint that is covering the glitter, but does not remove paint from the walls).One of the helpful tips was to purchase a ScotchBrite pad. I purchased some ScotchBrite refill pads and only used one. The buffing process took about 45 minutes and actually was very easy. It sounds overwhelming, but it was honestly surprisingly easy. I was very hesitant to attempt this project, but am very happy that I did so and although it sounds difficult, it really was almost as easy as it is to simply paint a regular wall. The glitter is a fine consistency and although I used '2' bags to my '1' gallon of paint, it is not overwhelming or too much whatsoever.I tried to take video and pictures of the room at nighttime, and they did not do justice whatsoever. However, the videos in previous reviews are a great example of the results. I would 1,000% recommend this product and project to friends and family and I would hands down do this again in the future. I am glad that I read multiple reviews and did not give in to thinking that this would be too difficult of a project.Update: See the attached video, but this absolutely does NOT do it justice. I LOVE it!UPDATE: September 2024Back at it again 8 Months later! I’m still in LOVE!!! I painted a second room using the same paint and the same silver glitter and this time I added 2 1/2 packs of silver glitter to 1 gallon of paint and did it exactly the same technique as I did in January. When I finished, the glitter was coming through so well that I actually contemplated not even buffing the walls. I will continue to recommend this product and I plan on doing a third room in the next month. It truly ROCKS!!!! Even though I tried to take pictures and take videos during the day or night, it just truly does not do justice to how awesome it shows up! I had to take down the original video to add an updated one so I hope this is helpful bc Amazon allows one video only.

Love it.

The media could not be loaded. I am so happy and pleasantly surprised with this glitter! You really have to trust the process, I got nervous at first seeing the glitter get lost in the paint after mixing thoroughly but look at that end result!! It’s perfect! This is the black ultrafine glitter with matte black paint. To get this level of sparkle, we used 3 packs of the glitter in a little under a gallon of paint (we poured just a little paint out to fit the glitter and so we could mix it without any overflow). Our exact process was: two coats of plain matte black base coat followed by two coats of the black glitter paint, then buff!! We bought some dish sponges and used the abrasive side of those to buff. YOU WILL NOT SEE SPARKLE WITHOUT BUFFING! Happy painting!

Love the effect it gives, however I should have added two packets per one gallon of paint for my bedroom for a more noticeable shimmer. As of now I have one packet mixed with grey paint on my walls and when the sunlight enters, the whole room sparkles. My walls were already textured but adding the glitter definitely made it even more textured so if you want to be able to wash your walls, add a clear coat or something on top to fill in the gaps.

Great Stuff, definitely read reviews on user tips. Here are mine!! Follow the label directions. Apply two coats of base color. Using the shimmer- don't dump the shimmer product into the gallon (other people posted they poured the product into the gallon container and said they could barely see the shimmer). My tip: The package is really small and is only meant for .2 of a gallon. Another user posted get 2 of the bags of the shimmer, so I did. First application was just less of one bag of shimmer, not wanting to taint the whole gallon, I mixed the stuff in the paint tray. Big mistake. came out severely streaked. It has to be fully dry to see the results. Directions recommend two light coats of the product mixed w/paint. So, next day, I revised my plant, the last picture. My BIG TIP. Treat the product like you are making a cookie or brownie batter; I used a bowl, spatula and whisk. I ensured I properly mixed shimmer in paint before each time I put the brush or roller into tray for more paint. Another big tip- using a really good quality roller and brush will make all the difference. Good Luck. Did this on one kitchen wall. Love it!!

Just what I was looking for. The sparkling effect is so pretty & was very easy to use!

You need a lot of glitter to make an impact on the wall.

I’ll start off by saying the product itself is high quality. I don’t have a photo for my review because it doesn’t really photograph well and my results so far have come out as good as everyone else’s videos on here.If you’re looking for glitter to add to paint, this is the brand you want. Paint a coat, let dry, and buff the surface after to reveal the full glory of the glitter. Repeat until satisfied.I’ll be honest, the process of doing this sucks for me. I’m using white gloss in my bathroom and there used to be wallpaper from the previous owners. I thought I got all of the glue off, but y’all know some old walls will SUCK UP SOME PAINT. I’m on my third coat and it’s still not even.This has nothing to do with the product, I just want to make sure everyone is ready for what they may or may not be getting themselves involved in.I would 100% rather pay someone to do this for me. And pray for the poor sap that has to go through this. The results will be worth it now that I’m already in the process.Consider just painting with regular paint and adding the glitter to a clear varnish. I dunno. The glitter itself is immaculate I’m just not having a good time with it today lol.
