Gold Glitter Paint Additive for Walls Chunky 100g / 3.5oz | Glitter Additive Sparkle for Interior & Exterior Wall Paint, Furniture, Varnish | Hemway

I had never done glitter in paint before and had reservations on how it would turn out. However, the rooms sparkle and look absolutely beautiful! You do have to quickly brush over all of the painted walls with a fine sandpaper in order to chip the paint off of the glitter in order for it to really sparkle. It is extra effort, but the payoff is worth it!

Sooooo sparkly! Turned out fabulous! (choose a paint color that you will be able to see the color of your sparkle through it)

I used this to redo my kitchen countertop. Yes...I know it's weird, but I wanted something glitter. I have had a painted countertop for years and it was getting boring. 2 coats of primer, two coats of base coat and then a glitter coat. Though the glitter didn't really show through the paint as I had hoped, it was fine enough for me to just sprinkle everywhere. I may have gone overboard, but I love it. Because there is now texture from all the glitter, it's gonna require a lot of poly to make it smooth - but my glittery countertop will be perfect when done. Couldn't be happier - and there's plenty of glitter to save for another project. One word of caution! This glitter is super fine - you will get it everywhere even if you are careful...I expect I will be finding it in places for decades!

Ok so a lot of the reviews I read stress the importance of buffing in between coats to get the sparkles to show. Well the chinsey little buff pads they suggest disintegrate in like, 3 strokes. Someone else mentioned using one of those green scrubbies and that worked but it was a very daunting task to buff an entire room with one ofthose so my daughters bedroom has been sitting with one coat for almost a year. Til I found this kitchen scrubber with the scratchy green attachement!! Omg game changer!!!! Sooooo much easier! I just had to share!!

Most of the reviews stated that they couldn’t see the glitter after following all the directions... well I bought 1 pouch of the chunky glitter and mixed it with a 1/2 gallon of satin white paint... when you mix the glitter into the paint and apply it to the walls you will see “bubbles” those are the glitter chunks. You MUST purchase the buff pads sold by Hemway, and AFTER the paint is completely dry you HAVE to use the buffer pad and go over the wall. The more you go over the wall the more sparkles you are going get! It is a time consuming process especially if your like me and want TONS of sparkles! I did an accent wall in my daughter’s room. I’m wanting to do an accent wall in my room as well. I highly recommend! If you just want to mix glitter to paint then it be glittery, it will not work. You MUST buy the buffer pads made by the same company and buff the paint off of the crystals. I have added a video.

Sparkles did not even go through the paint. Made my final coat very gritty. Had to sand areas of the wall and buy more paint and paint over them it looked so bad. Do not recommend. Wish I could get my money back.

A little goes a long way. Pic doesn't do it justice. It shows up really well. I poured about 1/4 - 1/3 into about a pint of paint. After mixing. I really couldn't see it, so I added more. Mistake! I at least doubled the amount of paint, if not more, and it didn't look like I diluted it all, so test before you correct! Full disclosure, I've used their blue and teal glitters before in a much lighter pairt, and it hardly showed up at all. I had to rub it after drying to see the glitter with any ease, so I really wasn't expecting such intensity with a much darker paint. I used the blue in a satin paint and this one in semi-gloss, so maybe that could account for the difference? I was surprised at how well this one showed up!

It works so well but make sure you don’t add it right away if you’re doing 2 coats. Do the first coats in a normal fashion then add the glitter for the second coat. It’s shine much more
