If you want to set up a young girl’s room or if you just want a different experience, then glitter wall paint can certainly be the way to go.

Use as Border
If you think that the glitter wall paint may be too much for your room, you can make up for this by using the paint as a border. Instead of trying to paste a wallpaper border on your wall, you can paint some glitter paint in its place. Use some painter’s tape for the outline of your border and paint away.
Use to Highlight Nooks
There are plenty of areas in your home where glitter wall paint will look good as an accent. One of these places is around the borders of nooks within your home. These little built in areas that house art, books, mirrors or other decorative elements can have a little more decorative touch when there is glitter paint applied to it. You can use the paint as an accent border, or as a backdrop to the pieces you have in the nook.
Add Luxury to Formal
One of the more elegant uses of glitter wall paint is in to bring some luxury to a formal setting. This is usually found in a formal dining area that is set off from the regular living space. A medium color that is infused with glitter will look great alongside some elegant furniture, flooring and lighting elements. You can do the entire room with the glitter wall paint or just one wall where the light will play off the glitter.
Paint additives can be added to any paint. Use only the glitter that is made for paint, not craft glitter as it will not stay on the surface and the paint will actually over-coat it. Lowes carries packets of gold or silver crystals that can be easily mixed to any paint. Choose 1 packet for a subtle glimmer or 2 packets to bring on the bling. Keep your paint stirred at all times so the glitter will remain evenly distributed. Allow the base coat to dry thoroughly – at least 6 hours. Stir the specially formulated glitter into the paint and mix thoroughly. Apply the paint in small 4-foot by 4-foot areas, cutting-in and rolling in sections. Always try to keep a wet edge to work back into and avoid over lapping.
Jamie Waller, Owner of Maverick Painting says, “A clear faux finishing glaze is actually a great option for this technique. Sometimes glitter added to the base color doesn’t show up very well. The glaze will give a translucent medium for the glitter to sit in and allow it to be the first layer that the eye picks up. Little girls grow up and out of glitter and eventually this technique will need to be removed or painted over. If the glitter is just applied with glaze, it is more easily sanded, primed and then painted over.”
