So much glitter
I added one pack to gallon of paint for around pool and it sparkles so nicely. I have had so many compliments on it. Now I want to do some walls with it.

Glitter got lost in the mix!
Mixed glitter into white grout, but only about 10% showed up on the surface. It was on a wall so I couldn’t make it just stick to the surface. Would have been great if the tile was level and horizontal and I could just stick it to the surface. Very pretty glitter. Maybe a thin overlay of glitter grout for a wall?

Great product
Great product. To help others on putting this on to their grout please follow these instructions below. Please note, the glitter will be everywhere. You should tarp things off and make sure you don't care if glitter gets on you or clothes.1) Don't buy a lot of bags. For a typical 6 foot tub shower with 1/16 or 1/8 grout lines, I used half the bag of glitter if that.2) Don't mix the glitter in the grout as your are mixing the grout for the first time. That will just waste the glitter. Just mix the grout as normal first.3) You have to work kind of quick or do grout in sections. My advice is to do small sections so you can test what you like.4) Apply the grout as normal but make sure you have a small bucket of water and sponge ready. Once you apply the grout with the float in the section, quickly wipe the wet sponge over the grout once so it has that wet mud look5) Sprinkle the glitter on the wet sponge itself and then push the glitter into the soft grout before it dries. Sprinkle as much as you want the glitter to show on the wet sponge6) Make sure you push the glitter on the sponge into the wet grout surface. You can dip the sponge into the bucket of water so it is damp. The bucket of water will have glitter in it, that is fine.7) If you sprinkle about a tablespoon at a time, you shouldn't run out of this whole bag8) The more you sprinkle on the sponge and press into the grout, the more sparkle. If you want less sparkle don't sprinkle so much. Remember that as long as you keep wetting the sponge, the glitter will be in the water and so you may not have to sprinkle so much each time.9) Once you have the desired look, wipe any excess grout off and let dry as many hours/days as the grout says.10) Then apply your desired grout sealant. The glitter should not come off as long as you apply the grout sealant. If you are paranoid you can always use clear epoxy but that stuff is expensive and you need to know how to use it.For me, I put on a lot because I wanted a lot of sparkle. Mine turned out great and I have more glitter to use elsewhere.

Didn’t use as directed
Loved this glitter. Read reviews and decided to groutthe tile first, then used the sponge to clear the excess away. Then using an old make up brush, I added the glitter. I used far less glitter, and it came out perfect. Husband was skeptical but he is now a fan!!!

Just the effect I wanted! Glam and fun!!
I wanted to add a little 'pop' in a huge new shower we were doing in our master bathroom renovation. I did a lot of research, and the only commercial glitter grout I could find (TEC FX) did not get good ratings or reviews for wet environments. I decided to give this additive a try. First, I did a little test sample, mixing it with my DeLorean Gray TEC grout and grouting a small piece of mosaic tile (used 1" marble hexagon mosaic). Loved how the sample looked, so used it in the EXACT proportion suggested by the package. We used it to grout the tile along the back of a 5' niche in our shower and it looks AWESOME! Not too crazy, but just enough sparkle in what would otherwise be a very big, dark gray wall. Even my husband likes it, and he is not a glitter fan. My tile installer says he's going to recommend it to other customers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - BUT FOLLOW THE PACKAGE DIRECTIONS, MIX THE GLITTER WITH THE DRY GROUT AND DON'T BE SCARED BY HOW SPARKLY IT LOOKS!!!

DON'T ADD IT TO THE first GROUT fill! Use it ON TOP
I didn't actually get a chance to utilize this particular brand of grout glitter additive as my tile job got done ahead of schedule....BUT with ANY grout glitter additive, follow the instructions from another reviewer who explained specifically 'how to use it with GREAT SUCCESS'! If and when I never am in need of grout glitter in the future, THIS will be the brand I select. the colors are AWESOME! I'd recommend staying away from premixed grout/glitter options available. As with paint glitter too........ it's like mixing chocolate chips in with the batter.... the chips get covered in a coating or hidden in the mix. So if you really want your glitter to SHOW...do it as the final grout layer using just a smidge of grout to get REAL SPARKLE and not just 'barely there' sparkle.Use a wet sponge or a makeup brush to push the glitter down into the wet grout. Let dry. Glitter is 'FOREVER! Have fun!

Can’t see the glitter in grout
We got this for our bathroom floor. Unfortunately we cannot see the glitter at all. We did a charcoal hex tile with charcoal grout and black glitter. All done professionally. There are nearly no grout lines which may be why it’s not noticeable. I may try it again on the shower grout but am more concerned there for water penetration. For the price it’s worth the try. 🤷🏼♀️

This stuff is gorgeous!
The media could not be loaded. In one 2.5ltr tub, I used 250g of glitter.It looked absolutely beautiful, until after I’d been tiling, got a grout type hand mark on the wall. Wiped it down with a damp sponge and that’s when magic happened. It’s like some of the glitter had been coated in paint and wiping cleaned it off. I’ve today sponged down all the pained walls and it’s amazing in there. Sparkle beyond belief.

Be brave, add more than you think!
Mixed this with concrete grey grout. Wish I'd gone with a darker grout, it showed up nicer in the wet, and dried up as a hint. It's quite scary when you pour it in, and getting the ratio right for your look is a bit tricky I guess. I should have been braver! Also you might need to add more water to your grout than normal, it stopped easy spreading very quickly - first grouting project. Used it in the kitchen and I like the way it catches the extractor down lights. Proper orange copper coloured too, stock photo doesn't do it justice. Used copper tile trim so it complements it well.

Looks good
When my missus said she wanted glitter in the kitchen,, I laughed but then I thought let's do it,, after reading the other reviews I can honestly say it looks good,, like others are saying don't be afraid of using a lot,, I used 1 packet per 1kg of grout,,, and used powdered grout as well,, lot easier to mix.

Good...ish
So this product is okay maybe even good. I feel it is very expensive for what it is. I bought the silver to go in black grout. You need to use a ton of the stuff to get a subtle finish. Once down I couldn't see it in natural daylight but once the lights are on it does sparkle a bit.One negative is that when cleaning or wiping I do notice some glitter particles come off the surface.

Worth it, looks absolutely beautiful.
Stunning effect! You may need to add a bit more but it will definitely be worth it. Amazing effect especially with dark grout. I picked reasonably cheap dark tiles for my kitchen floor, added dark grout with this glitter and I keep hearing compliments that my kitchen looks like posh and expensive! If you would like to add that something extra to make your kitchen or bathroom stand out then I definitely recommend it because it looks beautiful.
