Hemway Glitter Paint Additive - Gold | 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.

I really love this brand and have bought a few different colours which worked beautifully, sadly the iridescent colour didn't show up when mixed with the white matt anti mould paint i had bought.The glitter before being mixed looked gorgeous unfortunately it just got swallowed up this time and since it's quite expensive,I can't recommendThe brown bronze colour is amazing and I'd definitely rebuy

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.

Beautiful and quick delivery and very reasonable priced

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

Excellent addition to the paint

Seriously, just paint your walls with the desired colour. Buy regular glitter. A lot of it. Buy clear varnish. Mix together for the desired glitter density and then paint over the top. It will save you A LOT of hassle. It just doesn't seem to work as an additive to paint as reliably as the advert would have you believe. It just doesn't show up when mixed with paint. You need a LOT of glitter to coat an entire wall. I'm doing a small, small, glitter wall and I've used about 900g of pink glitter. And it was not this glitter, it was much cheaper glitter I found for around £2-3 on here.I attempted to use this product on white doors with varying effectiveness. It's not easy to use and the promise that it adds to paint to produce the desired glitter effect is not true. I used it with satin finish paint and it doesn't work because the paint coats the glitter, so it's not going to "glitter". You have to then sand the paintjob. I hand sanded it and it turned out "ok" but also when sanding you're going to sand off some of the paint. Annoying. Time-consuming and disapointing. Paying £9.99 for 100g of regular glitter is a complete, rip-off.
