v1rtus Glitter Paint Additive - Gold Holographic | 100g Metallic Flakes for Adding Sparkle to Paints & Wood Varnish | Add to Emulsion, Acrylic & Latex for Indoor Sparkly Walls

Well packaged however iv not used it yet as im very ill at the minute

Originally I was going to buy the Valspar glitter from B&Q, but they had run out of the 70g packets. I trawled online and found this £13.98 inc p&p for 100g. Received one day before the expected date given, excellent. I had already put one coat of white on the wall (without glitter) and once dried I mixed the glitter and 2 litres of paint. You have to mix it in really well, the coverage was great. The only thing I found, which was not the makers fault, was glitter is unpredictable, it can come out in patches of more glitter or less glitter. Luckily I had a bit spare and was able to go over the glitter wall again, but please expect the unpredictable, this is the nature of the beast unfortunately. The wall looks great, very glittery and when the sun shines on it or the bedroom light it looks fab. Would use again and what I like about this product is 1/ you get more for your money 2/ great coverage 3/ the company does some unusual glitter colours which B&Q do not. The only problem I have now is that I want to glitter the whole house much to the annoyance of my old man :)

Item delivered on time and we'll packaged. I heard many mixed reviews so was hard to gauge. However I took the plunge and the results very good and considering I am pretty hard to please. Ok.the first time used I gave it to a decorator to do for me..hallway and reception area.Used Dulux pure white vinyl silk 10litres believe he used 5 packets..initially I was not happy as unless I looked hard I could only see a shimmer effect. However the key thing to note the lights have to be bright and sunlight. I purchased another batch and did a house I was renovating used cheap b&q Magnolia vinyl silk 10 litres and mixed in 4 packs..surprisingly it came off a lot better and as soon as you enter the room you see the effect immediately..one thing to note you need to really stir it very well if not some areas will come out grey blotchy. I tried to buff it after but did not notice any difference or get more sparkly affect..definitely using again as friends have commented on what a nice and classy look. Now doing the whole house in white with the glitter including the ceilings. Have noticed that on some of the skirting boards done with white gloss the glitter has managed to get on it.still brings a nice shimmer effect. Do not apply the glitter in the roller tray and stir ....mix it very well in the paint tub.

Tried these after researching and was glad I bought them. They work well and give a lovely shine without having to buff afterwards. I used with thick paint and it still glitters brilliantly.

Hi, thanks for taking your time to read this review, i hope it helps you, if it does please do give it a 'helpful' rating.First of all, you must be looking for paint glitter because you either want your walls to look extra WOW or because you're daughters been bugging you for shiny wallpaper, well in both these cases, this oaint glitter is great.Its extremely simple to use, so does not really need instructions, just common sense, you can either mix it youself, just add it to any paint you're using, wether is be matt paint or another and give it a realy good mix to ensure the glitter is spread out across the whole volume of paint, then like a normal paint, just apply to your walls.It gives this glittery look when a light shines to it, but be aware, if you're painting a large room or a medium sized room, you might need more than one for a large paint tub, because sometimes in large volumes of paint, one packet is not enough to make a noticeable difference on your walls, so it could be a waste, do read instructions on website and it shows you how much to add tvo a certain ML of paint,.Overall, I think this paint glitter is great for all kinds of paintwork, wether it be an office, a study or a bedroom, its good for everything, and adds that extra wow factor.

I bought this after reading rave reviews. I have to say I think some of the reviews are fake. I am an experienced decorator and do everything as per the book so to speak. I wanted to create a subtle glimmer in the alcove wall of my bedroom where the bed goes and has spotlights (I thought that these would enhance the glitter but they do not). I didn't want to re-paper again as its expensive and time consuming so thought I would just paint over and use this stuff. All I can say is that it is actually a lot of money for the effect it achieves.Firstly you will only notice this when a light or the sun is on it and even then it is hard to see at all. During normal daylight you wont notice it at all. I painted my wallpaper with three coats of white to make sure there were not patches. I then purchased a cheap thin emulsion to mix this with so that it would show up more. The first coat was actually not too bad but still not what i would say noticeable. I then purchased a second packet and went over it again, sadly all this has done is actually cover up the first coat so now I cant see anything at all. £16.00 is actually a lot of money for something that has no effect all. I wish really I had just invested £30.00 on a roll of proper glitter paper. Bear in mind also one packet only mixes to 1 litre of pain which is hardly anything at all. Therefore a full room would cost about £60 £70.00 without the paint.When mixing I would say add the paint to a small amount of emulsion at a time. if you pour it on the top of a litre of paint it will only mix to the top of the paint and not the bottom.Personally not impressed at all. Invest in a proper paper which is probably what I am going to have to do anyway now. Not worth the money at all.
