Hemway Silver Glitter Paint Additive 100g for Adding Sparkle

Its easy to use once you follow the instructions on the packaging. I love the end results but wished I had bought more. Nonetheless still a classy finishing that's not overpowering .

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've used the glitter before, just adds alittle sparkle to plain walls

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

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.

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 recommend The brown bronze colour is amazing and I'd definitely rebuy

Didn't work for me. I mixed it in as instructed, using a lot more of the sparkles just to make sure. I used the supplied buffing pads after every coat. I applied three coats. Result - I've seen more sparkles in a bag of coal. They were physically there if you looked closely, but they just didn't reflect.

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.

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

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

Adds a nice shimmer to the wall

Mi ritengo veramente soddisfatta di aver acquistato questo additivo glitter. Prima di tutto Hemway offre un'ampia gamma di scelta di colori, permettendo così di poter abbinare il giusto colore di glitter alle tinte scelte. Io ho comprato i glitter bianchi e li ho fatti miscelare sia con un azzurro chiaro decor perlescente (lavorazione ad onde), che con una tinta opaca blu intenso (senza lavorazione) . Il risultato è stato eccezionale in entrambi i casi e seguendo le dosi indicate nella confezione. Tutti sconsigliano di miscelare i glitter direttamente con una tinta opaca, anzi suggeriscono di fissarli dopo con un additivo specifico, che però da un effetto lucido. Io non volevo un effetto lucido visto che ho scelto una tinta opaca e con i glitter miscelati con la tinta ho ottenuto l'effetto desiderato. Bisogna solo scegliere il colore giusto dei glitter, che non devono essere più scuri della tinta altrimenti si vedono i puntini colorati sul muro quando non brillano e creano un effetto granuloso (lo so perché ho provato glitter blu su tinta blu e azzurra su un pezzo di cartongesso e non rendeva bene). Consiglio questo prodotto e suggerisco di scegliere bene i colori dei glitter in relazione a quelli delle tinte.

Il prodotto è buono ma forse a causa della mia inesperienza, il risultato non è stato ottimale. I glitter non si sono ben amalgamenti con la vernice e così il risultato non è stato omogeneo sulla parete.
