Black Glitter Paint Additive for Walls Fine 100g / 3.5oz | Glitter Additive Sparkle for Interior & Exterior Wall Paint, Furniture, Varnish | Hemway

I mixed this Hemway glitter additive into a small batch of acrylic paint for a project and the effect was excellent. The crystals are very fine, mix evenly, and don’t cloud the paint or leave clumps like cheaper glitter can. The sparkle is subtle in normal light but really pops when light hits the surface at an angle, which makes it look polished rather than craft-store flashy. A little goes a long way. I used far less than expected and still got a noticeable shimmer, so this jar should last through multiple projects. If you want a clean, professional shimmer in paint or clear finishes, this works exactly as advertised.

I am a less is more kind of person and in this case I could have used more. I wanted a subtle shimmer to my closet, but because I am adult I did not want "glittery" I did eyeball it like others and found I kept adding more. I used 1.5 bags on 1 gallon plus a quart. I should have used it all from the beginning. My closet used more paint than expected. My color choice was "Champagne Gold", which gave a beautiful mature shimmer. I dont paint in long stripes and did not want long patchy stripes, so periodically I would dip a rag in the paint and swirl the walls to be sure I had more of a Van Gogh effect than lines After painting I tried in an inconspicuous spot to use the waxing buffer from the car cleaning supplies, but it was too aggressive. Next I tried a large utility sponge also from car supplies, it did not give an even buff, and I could see where my finger pressure points were as the glitter began to appear. Finally I used the cleaning scruffy sponge from a kitchen want. WALLA, perfect effect and given it's small size it did not take long at all to "burnish" my closet which is 6 x 12 with 11 foot ceilings. The glimmer is a perfect shimmer, even our home contractor and closet installer are struck by it. I have an awful LED liner light so now I need a new chandelier to really set off the effect. PS I was having a professional closet system installed and opted for the white cabinetry with this paint effect to make the white stand out. When you choose a color or wood grain with closet systems it can go up by the thousands. This is a budget hack for a stunning closet.

I used this mixed in an off white interior paint with some starfish stencils on my bathroom walls. Buffed once dry. The paint with the glitter was awesome. The stencils, however (not relevant to this review) did not work out & the paint bled a bit so I don't have photos to show how wonderful this glitter was in my use of it. I would highly recommend. I will update with photos when I get some better stencils.

Love it. It was easy to add to the paint and my walls now have a subtle iridescent shimmer! I’d post photos but they do not do it justice.

So I have 2 opinions because I purchased 2 different types of the glitter. The basic glitter (mother of pearl) worked so well. We used the same glitter in 2 different colors and it’s better in the lighter color but still noticeable in the darker one. Do not skip the buffing step! That makes all the difference. We used a buffing pad attached to our drill and it made the world of difference. Now, we also got the star and moon glitter. That one is horrible. It clumps together, it doesn’t spread evenly. It doesn’t matter if you mix it in the paint tray or the gallon it’s horrible. I was very disappointed with that product and will not buy it again.

This product is unbelievable. And so much fun!! I painted a movie room ceiling black, and added the silver and it turned out incredible! I added two bags to 1 gallon of paint. Mixed with a drill/paddle. It never settled which was cool - I didn't have to keep mixing as I went. I purchased an eggshell sheen instead of flat for the ceiling because I knew I had to burnish it with the scrubby pads and flat paint will scratch even with a subtle pad. To my surprise, I ordered four pads and I didn’t even need to use them. This glitter POPS on its own!! I just ordered gold for an accent wall in a powder room vs using wallpaper.

This is pricier than others and I haven’t tried them, but I can say that this has left the desired effect after painting a dresser with dark blue - I am looking forward to buffing it for its full effect. Three stars because of quantity v price

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

Ik ben super blij met het resultaat. De glinsters in beige watergedragen muurverf gemengd en rollen maar. Een super leuk en verbluffend goed effect. Prachtig

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

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

Adds a nice shimmer to the wall
