What I learned from Simply Naillogical is that cream paint eats the glitter/holo, so adding it into a normal paint will kill most of it. If you would like more to be visible on the wall don't put it in the paint itself, put it on with a clear base as an extra layer, this way you have more control over how much you want to see it... :)

My grandma loved pink and shiny things, so in both their houses my grandpa used a machine to blow glitter into the plaster on the ceilings before it dried. I always thought it was such a romantic gesture to bring joy to the one he loved. Also in their house in town, both the living and dining room were a bold pink. I used to want a pink house and would say if a man wasn't secure enough in his masculinity to let me have a pink house, he wasn't the one for me.

As someone who worked at floor and decor, you can buy actual glitter grout. Like, don't waste money to add glitter to plain grout.

The glitter grout in the video is an epoxy glitter grout. That could be why the results are different from mixing glitter to white grouting. 🤓 The bathroom looks cool. That tiling adhesive mat is revolutionary! OMG.

Hi Mia! I’m a contractor in the Seattle area and it’s great that you’re taking renovations in your own hands! I would too. One thing though; matte tiles for the shower wall aren’t the best for cleaning. That’s why polished tiles are recommended. Love your videos! 💜

“I don’t know if you guys will care for the before and after”

Mia I literally live for before and afters of course I care

[NerdySalemSays]

I actually like the more subtle glitter grout. It’s much nicer imo and doesn’t take away from the cute tiles, whilst tying in with the sparkly walls

Lol Miiaaaa the paint technique wasn't about the size of the roller ! You have to make a big zig zag across the wall with a freshly loaded roller and then re-roll over the enitre wall like you usually would. This helps distribute the paint better cause the roller picks up paint when it rolls over the first zigzag you made. Like so Mia can see!!! :)
Ps: I am obsessed with the glitter paint. Amazing makeover - as usual! ;)

Mia is literally creating her own vintage princess themed house and I am here for it!

There is a clear epoxy grout you're supposed to use with the glitter. It cures FAST. I used it to redo my kitchen blacksplash; green and gold glass tile with gold glitter grout. The clear creates the 'bam' of glitter you're looking for.

I am an interior designer and I have built several homes. I currently work as a designer in a tile and flooring store that sells all the products you covered and needed. So I am coming from a place of real life experience and knowledge.

The double sided adhesive paper is intended for wall applications where there is limited water exposure. We mostly stick to just using them for kitchen backsplashes and accent walls in dry areas. They are not intended for walking on. It also looked like you applied the tile directly with mortar on top of the existing tile. They will likely fall off if moisture works its way in. On both the vinyl and the tile you could have used a roll on primer that would make it grip the mortar better. Also make sure that you caulk, not grout, the corners so they can flex to prevent cracking. As far as the glitter grout goes, adding the glitter definitely messed up the integrity of the grout mixture. They sell grout that already has the glitter in it. There is solid ones similar to what you created which is a fine aggregate. But the one on the TikTok is epoxy based which is why it is clear. You just need to move quickly with the epoxy because you can't buff it off like regular grout once it sets up. To finish the edging when using a harder to find tile you can use Schluter metal pieces. They come in a lot of colors and metal finishes so you can match them to your faucets or tile.


If you have a reno question I don't mind giving advice. I have been thinking about steering my channel in that direction more anyways.

Hi there 👋🏽 My dad paints houses & renovates as a lead contractor. When you’re painting with a roller, don’t PUSH the roller into the wall. Glide it over the wall and the paint lasts a lot longer. When you push, it pushes further into the roller and soaks it up and ends up drying out faster!

Just thought this might help with future projects!

[YVRCasting]

Also: OF COURSE everyone is here to see the whole entire re-do!!

[bkornytoo]

Here's a bit of really good advice that you should take:
NEVER TILE OVER TILE ON WALLS!!
I can PROMISE you, that her tiles will be popping off the old tiles underneath, especially because they didn't even do anything to rough up the surface of the old tiles.
Save yourself money and time by taking the old tiles off. You'll be much happier because your tiles won't be coming loose or popping off in a year or two ( IF they last that long ).

[Radio.Chicken]

Love the glitter walls! Never heard/seen anyone put tiles ONTOP of tiles before though O.O; I would worry about moisture seeping into any gaps and cause unseen mould...or even making the tiles un-stick eventually? maybe?? the basin and taps are AWESOME omg

[valeriabarrera]

Mia, You work sooo hard, SO hard for your content and it shows. You are a gem and you are so appreciated!

[carryhamblen]

THE CURLY HAIR LOOKS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE ON YOU!!!

[louisemckelvey]

Not me feeling absolutely ancient that I actually had glitter paint in my teenage bedroom nearly 20yrs ago 😱 mine was iridescent over white paint, with a couple of bright pink walls thrown in too. My 17 - 21yr old self loved that room!

Trends really do come back around every 20yrs 🤣

I really hope we can get a 6 month update on this :) What you learned, what has worked, what hasn't etc. Did any of it fail? It would be awesome to see so that people don't make a similar mistake :D It's so great that you are testing these "hacks" because then a lot of people can save a lot of time and money <3

Hemway, the company you bought the glitter from has a premade glitter grout and sealant that looks like what you were trying to get. They also have glitter glaze for walls that seems to be even more sparkly.
