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

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 this glitter and paint. It doesn't work in all paints, but it works in most of the paints. I've ever tried it with looks beautiful.I get compliments all the time

The media could not be loaded. When we first put this on, I was super disappointed. I couldn’t see any sparkles at all. I even dried it with my hair dryer I’m eager anticipation, thinking maybe it would show up when it dried. No dice. I was so bummed! My 4 year old was excited to have her sparkling unicorn room! So I started reading reviews where others suggested buying a $9 buffer, but one user suggested a scotch brite pad…so I ran down to my kitchen and grabbed what I had, and it worked!! I was so excited that I started jumping with joy. 😂 it worked BRILLIANTLY!!! I’ve attached a video so you can see it in action. Actually, you could probably even just use a paper towel if you wanted. We have a tiny space between the wall and the door frame that my pad didn’t fit in and I just used my finger and that worked.As far as quantity, our whole job was almost exactly one gallon of paint. We painted a plain sparkle free layer first, that left us almost exactly a half of a gallon left. We mixed the entirety of the sparkles bag in slowly while mixing. It’s beautiful!

I added this to my paint and it works so good. My room turned out beautifully. Highly recommend.

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.

I love this item so far I haven’t used it as yet but I can’t wait to see it in action.i just hope it work the way I need it to work .

I've been buying paint glitter from Lowes for about 15 years now. This was my 1st time trying this product. It mixes great and looks absolutely beautiful. It isn't overwhelming. I used the entire bag on one gallon of paint. It has shimmer but not too much. It does come off though. I've never experienced that before, it must be this particular brand.

I was very happy with the amount of glitter the additive provided however, I discovered I had to add the glitter by hand. When I added the glitter to the paint itself, it did not show up so I'm glad I did not add the entire packet of glitter to the paint to start with. The product was a bit pricey too and it would've been out of my budget if I had a larger project. Overall, I'm pleased with the product though.

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.

Super effet

This is my first time using anything like this, and the results have been wonderful. Thank you.

Used this product before very pleased with results

J'ai mis 2 paquets pour 1,5 litres de peinture. Parfait
