Hemway Black Glitter Paint Additive 100g for Adding Sparkle

I was dubious until I buffed it and then the glitter came through fantastically which I'm not sure translates in the picture. My daughter LOVES it. The sparkle is amazing!The lady at B&Q told me to add the glitter in on the final coat. It worked.

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.

I did to my son room he loves it.. Effect is quite good.. For buffing I used damp cloth..

Easy to use, directions are on the back of the packet. It only gives a light shimmer. We use 1 packet as it was only going on 1 wall. My little girl loves it

Beautiful glow to our bathroom paint. We used 2x sachets in a 2.5lt of paint.

Used as directed but doesn't show up much, the packet didn't say about buffing and doesn't cone with any buffering pads. Thankfully from other reviews I tried buffing which did help a bit, light has to be shone directly at the wall to see any sparkle. Nice idea but didn't really work for us but the colour was a good match with the paint. Mixed in for about 10 minutes adding a bit at a time and did 2 thin layers of paint as recommended.

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

Adds a very subtle sheen too paint

Ich mische den Glitzer überall rein. Auch in meine Lackierpistole. Wandfarben mit Mettalic/Glitzereffekt sind sündhaft teuer. Je nach Lichteinfall neue Wand ;-)

je me prépare une remorque pour les fêtes de Noël et ces étoiles très lumineuses sont du plus bel effet !

Glitzert wunderbar <3Sehr einfach in der Handhabung und dennoch toller Effekt. Wir sind begeistert!Wir werden die anderen Varianten auch noch ausprobieren.

Super Produkt, sieht auf der Wand klasse aus, ein echter Hingucker.

Adds a nice shimmer to the wall
