HemwayGlitter Paint Additive Glitter Crystals for Acrylic Paint, Interior & Exterior Walls, Wood, Varnish, Furniture, Matte, Gloss, Satin, Silk - 100g / 3.5oz - Silver Holographic Stars

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!

It was my first time using the glitter. It’s important to find directions, I googled on YouTube. The first coast of paint was without the glitter. Then I added the glitter, the 2nd coat turned out beautiful, not too much glitter, add a little at a time as you mix the paint. I don’t think I would’ve liked the color as much without it. I didn’t use the polish towel to bring out the glitter, I wasn’t sure about any dust issues.

You have to be careful when rolling it on or glitter won't be even. I love the way it looks. Very subtle

This product was very easy to apply, does not flake off. Dried under one hour. The best thing is you can control how sparkly you want your wall to be by the number of coats. Mine took 2 1/2 coats.

The media could not be loaded.  This is 2-3 bags in a quart of paint. It goes a long way, but it must be buffed! Without buffing, it looks like nothing was done. Use it in a spot with great lighting, or *even better* the sun hits it during the day! Without the light playing off of it, you won't get the sparkle, so be sure it's utilized in the best spots, and use an extra bag than it recommends.

Literally awful.. I had tried another product I bought at Lowes and it was great to add some shimmer to the walls.. I thought I would try this brand thinking it would be even better but was so totally wrong about that! Literally ZERO shimmer.. no sparkle, nothing. So super disappointed!! I never even leave reviews but wanted to save someone the trouble of buying this and being let down

I bought the silver irst, to mix with the grey paint for the kitchen walls. I loved it. I am painting the cabinets teal, and saw the same color in this, so I bought a package to throw into that paint.I loved it.Now I'm getting ready to repaint the dining room. I recently had a fire and am mostly repainting the same colors everywhere else, because it was only a couple years old and I like those colors. The dining room is Haute Red. There are 5 windows in the room, with a large bay window rounding it offf on one end. The sunlight in that room is spectacular, and I have some crystals rom the original chandelier hanging in the windows that make wonderful rainbows, especially when the windows are open and a breeze catches them, making them dance.I bought this copper holographic glitter to use with the red and ater I put just a few strokes on to see i I like it,I LOVE IT.It's not quite ready to finish yet, but I'm very anxious to have it done! I don't think I will want to use quite as much as I used in the kitchen, because it might be a bit much with so much sunlight. I would have to wear sunglasses at dinner. I thought about only doing one wall, but I think it wouldn't look balanced due to the bay windows giving the one end o the room that round shape, only one wall would look lopsided, I think. So I'll go lighter on the glitter in there and Im going to be very pleased.One tip I will definitely pass along; even though the glittert does comethrough right away, DO use the bufingpads and give the surace a light buff. It is AMAZING~

I used one bag and added it to a quart of black paint for my bathroom. I did read reviews saying to use a scotch bright pad once its dry to buff the glitter which did help. I do like this and I had low expectations. It does add a slight texture to the walls and there is some sparkle showing though. I am happy with my results but if you are looking for a wow factor adding it to colored paint isn't the way. I also noticed it is heavy in some spots on the wall and barely any in others so make sure to constantly mix while painting. I will most likely try this product again because who doesn't love glitter!

Worked out amazing. Wish I had put it in a darker colour. Put in a yellow but it still glitters and is subtle. Wiah I could take a pic that does it justice. Rub gentle with a slightly abrasive sponge to get the glitter to show more.

I mixed the glitter as per the package directions and the glitter made my paint so thick or was very hard to use. Application is uneven and if you use a roller the little stars for off and make a mess. The Wall that I painted has some glitter to it and my 5 year old is happy but if you are any more decerning, it's not good. I'm now also scared to ever change that was as the glitter will likely all have to be sanded off

Colore stupendo e facile da usare. Era un po' più costoso dei glitter di altre fonti

Elles se voient très bien
