Angelus Desert Gold Glitterlites is a high-performance glitter coating specifically engineered for flexibility and durability on leather, vinyl, and canvas. Unlike traditional glitter applications that require messy glues, the Glitterlites formula suspends premium Desert Gold flakes within a flexible acrylic binder. This technical design ensures the shimmering finish integrates with the material, remaining pliable even in high-stress areas like footwear toe boxes and side panels, effectively eliminating the risk of glitter "shedding" or cracking during movement.

To ensure a professional result, the surface should be cleaned and prepared with a deglazer (for leather) to ensure maximum adhesion. Desert Gold Glitterlites can be applied in light, even layers to build intensity from a subtle shimmer to a full, blinding sparkle. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the finish becomes a waterproof, scuff-resistant barrier that maintains its brilliant luster through regular wear.

  • Formula: Pre-mixed glitter suspension in a high-flexibility acrylic binder; no additional adhesives required.

  • Application: Best applied with a brush or sponge; the formula is designed to level smoothly for a uniform sparkle.

  • Coverage: Versatile coverage—apply one coat for a light glitter accent or multiple coats for a high-density metallic gold effect.

  • Durability: Engineered to prevent glitter fallout and cracking; fully waterproof after curing.

  • Sizes: Available in 1 oz containers, optimized for precision custom projects and accent work.

1 oz. of Desert Gold Made my Tan Shoes Glittertastic

I got two coats of paint on a pair of bootie-style strappy platform heels out of one little 1 oz. bottle. The paint sticks gorgeously to the leather, and not too badly to the slick lacquered wood base of my shoes. I probably should've sanded the wood base to prep, but even without it, it looks great. It is a very forgiving paint. I was pretty sloppy in my application and it is glimmering and gorgeous. I've let them dry overnight and when I pick the shoes up only a miniscule amount of glitter comes off on my hand, so the paint appears to have great staying power. Even though they say it isn't needed, I went ahead and sprayed a light coat of wax shoe polish (Master 'Quick Shine') over the glitter thinking it'll probably offer just a little more protection over time. They are shoes after all. It was so shimmery already that it didn't get any shinier, but the spray didn't diminish the shine any either, so I'm glad I didn't undo my sparkle-up. The photo doesn't do the glitter justice. They shimmer much more in person.Looking forward to trying out other colors. I have to be careful though or I might wake up one morning to find every shoe I own glittered! :-D

Fantastic sparkle!!

I originally planned to do a light layer of gold glitter over a peach color. I thinned the glitterlight down a bit with 2thin… It worked pretty well, however the glitter was only visible from a few select angles so I ended up using it as directed and the results are fantastic! I used this on a pair of leather rollerskates and they look phenomenal. The glitter does not come off on your hands once it has dried completely. Be patient it takes a few layers!

Gorgeous sparkle for my bags and shoes!

The video made the Glitterlites look like more of a paint that you easily brush on, but they take a little more effort than that in my experience. After perfecting the dab and lightly swish method, I've given my shoes and handbags and unique, sparkly finish that looks amazing! I plan to order many new colors to spruce up many more of my items. The Desert Gold looks fantastic on my bags and shoes that I'd painted black. I love it!
