Hemway Glitter Paint Additive - Black | 100g Metallic Flakes for Adding Sparkle to Paints & Wood Varnish | Add to Emulsion, Acrylic & Latex for Indoor Sparkly Walls

This product is just simply beautiful the quality and colour is just great and I can't praise the coverage of this product enough it looks wonderful. The functionality and thickness of this product is good and it's easy to apply.

The media could not be loaded. Firstly, this product works as long as you follow the instructions.I get frustrated with reviews when people say "I added a pack of glitter and hardly have any sparkle"The instructions clearly state to use a minimum of 100g (1 packet) of glitter per 1 litre of paint. I had a 2.5 litre paint, so I added 3 packets of glitter. Yes, this makes the paint a little pricey, however the results are amazing and it's still loads cheaper and much nicer than glitter wall paper. (In my opinion)So, we had our paint and 3 packs of glitter, you MUST stir the glitter in a little at a time to avoid clumps, don't expect to tip it all in and not have clumps. This is much easier with 2 of you, my teenage daughter gradually put in a little glitter, when I had fully mixed it in, she added a little more and so on. The 3 packets took a total of 40 minutes to mix in. I used a paint mixer to ensure a through mix, but a whisk would be good too.We used a medium pile roller to roll on the paint, although 2 coats covered nicely I had quite a bit of paint left so I did 3, I'm glad I did because although 2 coats were adequate the 3rd coat finished it off lovely. This paint wasn't the easiest to cut in, but again on the 3rd coat it all blended perfectly.Now for the important bit, the more coats I added the less the wall sparkled. As I said at the beginning, read the instructions. We used hemway buffing pads and when completely dry buffed the entire wall, the pads lost there roughness about half way through, so I had to resort to using white scourer pads from the kitchen. They actually did the same job. The buffing really brings out the sparkle, the light catches it beautifully in the day and you'll see from my pictures the night light also catches it perfectly.When I mentioned to people I was attempting glitter paint, all of them said "it's a nightmare, it doesn't work, my painter and decorator won't touch glitter paint" well I'm no painter and decorator, I'm just a DIYer who takes their time, reads the instructions and most importantly follows them. If you do the same you will be so happy with the results. My teenage daughter is over the moon and so am I.

Just add these sparkles to your paint. Then when you paint the walls it just sparkles when the light catches them, great product, will buy again.

I don’t normally write reviews on Amazon but had to for this!! I normally use the valspar paint glitter but thought I’d give this ago as there were a lot more colour options and you could also get the chunky version I used the holographic rose gold shade but the photo doesn’t do it justice, mixed in with the paint really well, after applying the second coat it was really bright and sparkly but I could see a lot of the glitters were a bit muted instead of using there buffing pads I used a new washing up sponge which I have done with all other paint filters on wall and just gave it a run over in circular motions to bring out the sparkle even more!! I had actually mixed in the rust oleum glitter into my paint before this one but was really disappointed didn’t shine without the flash on my phone being on nor event the normal bedroom light or sunlight but this one shines in all lights even just the tv light in the dar, 1000% recommend and will be trying the other shades out, one of the best glitter additives I have used alone with the valspar ones!! Only recommendation is only apply this with a brush not a roller, I did my first coats without any glitter and added that in for the final coat did one wall with the roller and it was patchy back over with a brush and just a brush on the other wall and it works perfectly

Used the full packet but unless you look up close you can't see it definitely don't see it from a distance so a bit disappointing

I used the chunky version because I wanted to see a bit more sparkle compared to originally using the finer glitter in the paint. I used 2 bags for 2.5 liters there was plenty of glitter within the paint.I currently have a wall that's very rough with no sparkle what so ever which is pretty disappointing to say the least. Even when I put direct light onto the wall I see no sparkle I wouldn't recommend to be honest.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I loved this. It was cheaper than ones I bought easily and after a buff it looks amazing.
