About this deal

Independent: We will tell you exactly what we think of a product and we would never recommend anything we wouldn't use ourselves. While Benjamin Moore does not manufacture glitter paint, we believe that the foundation for any decorative project—especially a glitter wall—begins with an interior paint basecoat. Industry Connections: We maintain close ties with manufacturers and brands, offering insights into trends and upcoming products.

The glitter flakes are designed to mix with matt and silk emulsions but won’t mix well with speciality paints even if water-based. As such, the product is not quite suitable to use in the bathroom or kitchen. Gloss and eggshell paints also don’t mix well with this glitter.

Manufacturers rarely make blank mediums and when they do its overpriced and often full of so many additives its not suitable to mix with pigments or dyes because it needs to be diluted with actual paint. In short, not the best stuff for mixing paint with. it works, but plain and pure in this case is always better. Water-based and non-toxic, the glaze is suitable to use in poorly ventilated environments or in your children’s room. Application is easy and straightforward; just stir the glaze and apply it with a smooth roller or wide bristles brush, depending on the surface.

For the first half try to squeeze out as much as possible before it all clogs up. After the first half of volume is squeezed out it will get harder, but you'll be able to keep going until you've moved about 3/4-4/5ths of the liquid out.I’ve tested this iridescent glaze on Tiffany Blue turquoise paint and didn’t like it, the Tiffany blue was too gorgeous on its own. Then I tested it on my 20-year-old off-white painted wall and it looked like I spilled water on the wall and there’s a water stain. Hemway Silver Holographic Additive is the low-cost alternative to V1rtus, a glitter additive brand belonging to the same manufacturer. The main difference between the products is the price, but also the covering power. In fact, the additive produced under Hemway’s brand has a recommended mix ratio of 100g to 1 litre of paint. in short this pure acrylic polymer is the best stuff ive ever dealt with, itl probably handle the super heavy glow powders well too!

For a sparkling effect, it may also be necessary to buff the wall when the paint is dry. This step enhances the effect of all glitter products, but it does take more time. The secret to a successful application of glitter additives or glaze is a vigorous stir of the product before application. Use a smooth roller and apply a thin layer of glitter paint or glaze to the surface with a criss-cross motion. Having a dry, fully cured wall/surface on which to apply the decorative paint of your choice can be just as important as proper wall prep. “Dry time” is the time paint needs to dry before you apply another coat, while the cure time is the time a coating needs to exhibit optimum performance results.

Polyvine Glitter Glaze may be a DIYer’s dream. Supplied in 500ml tins, the product is ready to use on pre-painted walls, wallpaper, furniture and fabric – and the sparkling effect can easily enhance the look of any home environment or revive old, worn-out objects. V1rtus is a high-quality glitter paint additive that transforms almost any wall or ceiling emulsion into a sparkling glitter paint. A 100g pouch contains thousands of glitter crystals that enhance either flat, matt, soft-sheen or silk emulsions – allowing you to achieve the look of your dreams. My room doesn’t get sunlight so trying to find a light to show off the amount of glitter on the walls was difficult. I used a flashlight in the video and a led stage light in the photo, that’s why the photo is that gorgeous purple. The true color of the wall is in the video.
