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

The media could not be loaded. I don't know how anyone could conclude that this doesn't work. I mixed 1 bag into 1 litre of paint, painted the walls, waited for it to dry, rubbed it over with a sponge scourer, and bam, glittery walls. I mixed the glitter in in about 6 or 7 "batches" and made sure it was super well mixed in before I painted. There was no difference in how difficult (or easy) it was to paint the walls; it was just normal painting. Before you buff them you can't really see the glitter, but a light rub over with a scourer and everything is sparkly and lovely. I expect on smooth walls it would be even sparklier than on the rubbish old anaglypta I had to paint over, but that's what comes of an 80 year old house with wonky walls.

Loved the glitter it went perfect with my paint

I bought this and added to a fuscia pink paint for my daughters bedroom. I did a 1st coat with the paint without glitter then added the glitter to the remaining paint (approx 3 litres) it was just enough sparkle without being over the top it's simply beautiful and my 4 year old is over the moon. The picture does not really show how sparkly it is. At night when her lamp is on its really sparkly and looks amazing. I would recommend this product especially into pink paint as I read the reviews and was unsure whether to go for silver or the rose but I'm sure this would win the rose one. I'm thinking or where next I can add this glitter!

This worked brilliantly and looks really good in my daughters room on a purple feature wall but I got the impression from the description on the ad that I could use this in at least 2 litres of paint but be aware that the 100grams sold is enough for 1litre of paint and is advised on the packaging.We followed the directions and added the glitter to 1 litre of paint while stirring constantly, we cut in with brushes and rolled the rest.My dad who is a painter and decorator was impressed with coverage and the finish we got after 1 coat + my daughter loves it too. As mentioned 100grams is enough for 1 litre so might work out costly if covering a large area or multiple rooms but I have found this in a deal on the manufacturers website and will be buying more.

The media could not be loaded. I added this glitter to 1.25l of Wilkos brilliant white satin paint. I used it to paint my stair risers. Absolutely love the finished effect. Cannot recommend enough. I want it everywhere now. I even used it to paint my hallway radiator and it had the same stunning effect.

I added the silver holographic to teal paint and was over the moon with the result. I put a coat on with out the additive to start with then mixed one pack in what was left in the tin, probably just under a 1.5ltr. i haven't buffed it yet but even so it looks lovely, it's subtle in daylight but really pops in artificial light. If you are expecting it to look like a christmas card then you'll be disappointed but if you're looking to add a bit a sparkle it really is a nice effect. i used it with silk emulsion, stirred it really really well and found it was easier to brush on, but that might be because my wallpaper is textured.

I tested this out on a mirror I was upcycling, and the effect is great! I then used on the walls in my spare bedroom, and it's not quite the same. Perhaps the reviewer who said they sanded the wall after painting was on to something, but I don't have an electric sander therefore wasn't about the hand-sand the whole room.The effect is very subtle, which is fine for me. But if you're expecting the glittery wonderfulness as shown in the product photos, I wouldn't hold my breath.Don't be tempted to add more to the paint either, as it changes the texture of the paint. Again, the guy who sanded down his walls probably has the effect we're all hoping for when buying this. If you're not prepared to do that, then manage your expectations on how this will look in real life.

The media could not be loaded. Brilliant product. Was worried about the bad reviews, but wouldn’t be surprised if those people didn’t know about rubbing down the walls with cloth after it dries. (I used an old facecloth) I’ve shown a video of use with a light grey paint, and photo of use with darker grey in another room. I’ll be ordering more of this glitter for another room, but will look for single colour rather than holographic this time.
