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
