★★★★★Customizing

“The shoes were a hit.”

This red glitter paint worked PERFECTLY for the “ruby sneakers” I created for a Wizard of Oz outing for me and my mom. The shoes were a hit and we got compliments from strangers.

Beyond Expectations

I was searching for red glitter paint to fix a pair of clogs I bought a couple of years ago. I had a feeling when I purchased them that the red glitter wouldn't hold up well, but I love anything that looks like Wizard of Oz so went with them. Sure enough, they scuffed up quickly. I did a Google search, the Red Ruby Glitterlite product came up, and I figured I didn't have anything to lose for the price. When it arrived, it looked pink, so I honestly thought it wouldn't work but grabbed a paint brush and slathered it on.

Now I wish I'd taken before pictures because this product is AMAZING. I cannot tell where the spots were as it all blends beautifully. Now I want to glitter everything I own with this paint in every color they make. It's fabulous.

Loved it

Used this to add some sparkles to a pair of custom sneakers as a Valentine's Day gift. Came out awesome. It's basically clean with glitter in it. There's no paint it can cover over white and just be white with red glitter which is awesome. 10/10 would buy again and all angelus products

Smiling with that twinkle

Sparkle city ... Or should I say Glitterlites city. Used over Red base paint which was paint over black naughahyde. 3 coats of light strokes did the job. Finished up project mouth lip teeth area with silver spark Glitterlites. Worked out great. One of a kind. Rare Kustom naughtie monsters. ' The Coupe '

Spotty coverage

The end result looks great but it required some extra work. After two or three coats there were still a lot of empty places with no glitter. To get full coverage it required spot painting in several places.

Thank you for the feedback. We have replied to another review for you.

Absolutely gorgeous!

My first experience using Angelus Paints has been using Fire Red as a base for the Glitterlites - Ruby Red to transform a boring burgundy pair of ballet flats into ruby slippers that would make Dorothy jealous. I've been very impressed by how easy the paints are to use, and the glitter has a remarkable level of sparkle, even after applying the satin finishing coat. It took 3 coats of the glitter paint to achieve the even glittery coverage I was looking for, but they're so easy to use that I didn't mind a bit.
