Glitter Paint for Walls Mother of Pearl Iridescent Additive Emulsion Latex Acrylic Sparkles Interior Painting 100g / 3.5oz

5 stars isn't even enough. This is the most beautiful glitter I've ever used! Awe-inspiring. Blinding (literally, husband had to shield his eyes at first glance). Pictures don't do justice, not even close. The video is best I could get for a visual. I applied polyurethane over black satin paint, then sprinkled the glitter (haven't sealed yet). Its amazing. I'm almost speechless. No smell. Very fine texture. Heavy duty, reliable seal on bag. I plan to use this for my walls as well. I literally want to use this glitter everywhere.

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.

I love this product. I used in my ceiling paint, it doesn’t really show until you turn a light on and then it sparkles!

So I have 2 opinions because I purchased 2 different types of the glitter. The basic glitter (mother of pearl) worked so well. We used the same glitter in 2 different colors and it’s better in the lighter color but still noticeable in the darker one. Do not skip the buffing step! That makes all the difference. We used a buffing pad attached to our drill and it made the world of difference. Now, we also got the star and moon glitter. That one is horrible. It clumps together, it doesn’t spread evenly. It doesn’t matter if you mix it in the paint tray or the gallon it’s horrible. I was very disappointed with that product and will not buy it again.

great subtle sparkle, but makes the walls very textured

There is nothing wrong with this glitter, it’s absolutely beautiful! The only downside & why I only gave it 3 stars is because I read that you would only need 2 bags for a gallon of paint. That’s incorrect. If you want to be able to actually see it, you need at LEAST 4 or 5 bags. But it’s easy to mix in & stunning. The photo I’ve included is what it looks like as you’re mixing it in. Once it’s mixed in, you can’t see it. Which is why you need way more. Lol.

Just what I was looking for!

Light and subtle depending on how much you put in. Delivery fast and packaged well.
