Looks great when mixed in grout.

I went to Lowes and purchased "Valspar Ultra Interior Paint & Primer" - Semi-Gloss Paint. The Paint Color Sample was 'Sherwin Williams' and Lowes has these within their paint color selections. I chose "ARGOS HGSW7065" as my paint color. It is for a little girl's room and I didn't want to go too dark in the gray family, and even with two coats of paint, it is the perfect shade of gray. I read multiple reviews before hand and really appreciated all the tips. I think the key is to purchase a paint mixing tool to attach to your electric drill. I placed the gallon of paint inside a five gallon bucket in order to avoid spills or a mess. I put '1' coat of paint on the walls WITHOUT the glitter additive, and let it dry thoroughly. Next, I used '1' gallon of paint, and slowly mixed in '2' bags of silver glitter. I then proceeded to fill my paint roller pan and would use up that batch, then use the drill to mix up the paint inside the gallon bucket thoroughly, and then poor up the next batch of paint and so on. This way, my paint didn't thicken up or dry up. As I was painting, I did see some glitter begin to shine through, but when it was thoroughly dry, I actually saw a ton of glitter, so much that I contemplated NOT buffing the walls. BUT, I am glad that we did, because slightly buffing the walls, the glitter immediately came to life. (Buffing the walls does not knock off glitter, it simply removes the paint that is covering the glitter, but does not remove paint from the walls). One of the helpful tips was to purchase a ScotchBrite pad. I purchased some ScotchBrite refill pads and only used one. The buffing process took about 45 minutes and actually was very easy. It sounds overwhelming, but it was honestly surprisingly easy. I was very hesitant to attempt this project, but am very happy that I did so and although it sounds difficult, it really was almost as easy as it is to simply paint a regular wall. The glitter is a fine consistency and although I used '2' bags to my '1' gallon of paint, it is not overwhelming or too much whatsoever. I tried to take video and pictures of the room at nighttime, and they did not do justice whatsoever. However, the videos in previous reviews are a great example of the results. I would 1,000% recommend this product and project to friends and family and I would hands down do this again in the future. I am glad that I read multiple reviews and did not give in to thinking that this would be too difficult of a project. Update: See the attached video, but this absolutely does NOT do it justice. I LOVE it! UPDATE: September 2024 Back at it again 8 Months later! I’m still in LOVE!!! I painted a second room using the same paint and the same silver glitter and this time I added 2 1/2 packs of silver glitter to 1 gallon of paint and did it exactly the same technique as I did in January. When I finished, the glitter was coming through so well that I actually contemplated not even buffing the walls. I will continue to recommend this product and I plan on doing a third room in the next month. It truly ROCKS!!!! Even though I tried to take pictures and take videos during the day or night, it just truly does not do justice to how awesome it shows up! I had to take down the original video to add an updated one so I hope this is helpful bc Amazon allows one video only.

Loved this look but I mixed it with the paint first wasn't able to see it much.But then I put the glitter in my hand and blue wind tuit to spray the wool while it was wet.I gave it outstanding, finishing touched with

Mixed with paint to put on walls. Looks nice but didn’t mix the best so some walls got more glitter than others.shines through paint!

I am opening an art studio and decided to do a galaxy glitter wall and bought 4 packets for the 2 gallons of paint needed. I stirred very well and painted only for it to look like an ordinary black wall! I spent $19 per packet at 4 each for me to have a plain black wall! Tomsay I am disappointed is an understatement! I could have thrown glitter onto a wet, freshly painted wall and obtained better results. Furthermore the buffing pads are also a joke! HORRIBLE product, ESPECIALLY doesn't come out with black paint! DO NOT BUY! Wish I didn't!

Make sure and go over your wall with a mild scrub like a scrub daddy when its completely dry. I used this for my living room walls and its absolutely beautiful!

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
