Glitter glaze is a clear paint containing glitter crystals. The glaze is intended to be used on pre-painted walls and it usually provides a more sparkly finish than glitter additives. A smooth finish for your interior paint basecoat is important for most decorative projects, including glitter. In comparison, if your wall has a flat, chalky painted basecoat, decorative paints may “sink in” to the wall surface and lose the desired impact. 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. Coming in 25 colours, the product is very easy to use. Just pour the contents of a pouch into the indicated quantity of paint, stir it vigorously, then apply the emulsion to the wall with a smooth roller. We followed these indications and achieved satisfactory results; however, some users suggest that mixing a small quantity of glitter with a small quantity of paint in the roller tray can enhance the end-results. That being said, we found the manufacturer’s instructions useful. Applying the product in a criss-cross motion reduces any patches, and the glitter gathered in certain areas is also easy to disburse by pressing it hard with the roller or brush.

A beautiful base color will maximize the design effect of glitter, so be sure to use a premium line of paint that delivers quality results, like ben ® Interior paint. Choosing a premium basecoat/paint color ensures the beauty you are looking for in your glitter wall project. I used two coats of the glitter, but Rustoleum suggests 3-4 coats. If I do that, I’ll need 40 cans for my project (15x25 ft room) and that feels ridiculous and expensive. There is just one hitch, it requires a fair amount of pressure, it likely wont filter under its own gravitational pressure.

Get your container ready, bottle or cup. I recommend using your final container you intend to permanently store the medium in, or a cup if your going to mix pigment in straight away. In the first picture I had just repainted my bookshelf a light grey concrete color, after Appling the glitter paint I noticed the color had changed, in the second and third picture it had become a peach pink hue color. The glittler paint is on there but its hard to see yhe glitter on camera. It's not a big change of color but you can definitely see the tinge of peach pinkish hue. So that kind of made me sad. I really liked the first paint I had put on the book shelf. I'm glad I wasn't doing a wall and then put this glitter paint on it after. The whole wall would of been peach pink.

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. in short this pure acrylic polymer is the best stuff ive ever dealt with, itl probably handle the super heavy glow powders well too!

Looking for the perfect color for your basecoat? Invoke gold with Golden Thread CSP-920, or go bold with gemstone-inspired Mexicali Turquoise 662 and Super Nova 1414. For softer, more neutral basecoat colors, consider Knitted Cape CSP-965 or Coventry Gray HC-169.

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. 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. Hands-On Expertise & Collective Knowledge: Our team boasts extensive DIY experience and in-depth knowledge. 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.
