Testing VIRAL TikTok Renovation Products! *glitter grout, giant paint roller & MORE* 

_And,_ just like the value of Simply's peely base, I would recommend going this sort of job over wallpaper (you can even peel-off wallpaper now!). Covering up the glittery properties of glitter will be no problem, but you may face some real texture issues in the future.

i’m not sure because i actually used this exact glitter in a clear coat for a wall and it looked TERRIBLE. her putting it in the paint turned out way better than mine did

Great idea

That's nail polish, not paint. They are different.

yep, never worked for me, but I might have used too little , I rolled on paint and blwe it onto the wall from my hand and that stuck.

Thats what I was going to say. They actually make glitter grout for this purpose :)

yeah the number of people I have had come in and ask after these tiktok and then have to tell its a specialty product not a simple additive (although mia made it work fairly well here for what it is)

It is not the same as the video though because the video used silicone with gold glitter in it

I mean, it's not even about being "Secure in his masculinity" (wtf lmao). Pink just is kinda an ugly colour to a lot of people, I can understand having parts pink, but too much like with everything is ugly.

@@whygamingwhy2404 I mean there are people living in entirely pink houses and rooms covered in gold. It's all just preference. I think pink is absolutely shit.

@@OldieMcSandles Well yeah I know that too, but it looks ugly as hell and really requires a certain person to like it at any colour, nothing to do with feeling man enough

@@whygamingwhy2404 I've seen and met a lot of guys who wouldn't wear anything pink not because it's ugly, they just don't wanna look gay ~ Idk if they're picturing a guys butthole everytime theyre looking at something pink. Fuck if ik.

@@OldieMcSandles You've met a lot of boys then lmao

LITERALLY

Me too!!

Yes! Literally always here for the before and after!

yes me too

She is so humble!

I wanted to comment exactly that when l saw you explained. Especially with big rooms that method works great. Not necessarily the big roller.

That’s smart I didn’t get it too thanks !

I apologise in advance....Are you saying SIZE DOESNT MATTER :P

YOU ARE DOING AWSOME! yes, you also want to make sure afterdoing that you dont paint anything but left to right or vice versa TOP TO BOTTOM. If you paint it by no pogo onto the roller and you use the roller by hand your hands will crap you push to much of the paint in 1-2 spots causing a dripping effect as its pressing also it causes skippers. Also, NO MATTER WHAT after you do the big zig zag even with the smaller 9" roller always do side to side whichever way you choose i do r to l and never ever backwards also from TOP TO BOTTOM not half like top then come half down the wall to finish it from where your reach was to the bottom of the wall. if not you will definately have a line in the middle of your wall. I dont mean to say your not doing a great job BC YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. Its literally my job my entire family are in construction through my father and I's co owned construction. My baby brother was A BEAST NEVER NEVER EVER CAN ANYONE IVE EVER SEEN OUT PAINT HIM :*( He passsed 2.5 yr ago also an owner sorry. Ive changed my paint in several different rooms adding glitter for about 15 yrs now. IT DONT NEED TO BE THOSE PACKS YOU CAN USE REG GLITTER AS LONG AS ITS NOT THE CHUNKS EXTREMELY FINE ID DO 1 COLOR PER WALL MAYBE AN ACCENT WALL FILLING IT WHILE 3/4 of a gal. not half that will make you run out sooner especially if your planning 2 finish with the roller bc you'd need to pour it into the rololing pan and it isnt really gonna distribute correctly. Also i would make sure to take the blue tape and just wrap it around the length of the actual fuzzy portioln of it and then just peel it off. *takes extra fuzz off of it and keeeps it form going on to the wall or worse stuck in the rolling pan. I'm sorry I co-owned and was working with my dad and brother. It was a general construction comp. just comes naturally. only hopes this can help someone making it cheap as possible and MOST OF ALL MAKE YOUR TIME AND WORK SO MUCH EASIER AND TIME EFFICIENT~

My shower has matte tiles and they do not want to come clean lol

Yeah, I moved into a condo with matte tiles and they literally always look like they're covered in soap scum, plus the water sticks to them more causing spots.

Oh yes, I got black matte tiles and hard water :`)

came looking for this comment! epoxy grout would be easier to clean too, right? because it would dry as a super-smooth glossy surface like the rest of the shower tiles.

Most epoxy grouts have about the same "consistency" like cement based products. Because they are not intendet to be used in private homes, but in heavy industry settings, or high chemical use. Like dairies, pools, food industry in general.... so they have to be "anti slippery" for lack of a better word. Its not the same epoxy as the one you would use for casting.

Why is this not the most liked comment so mia could see it 🥲😭

@@dietotaku I have epoxy grout in my bathroom and trust me it's not easier to clean. You need them to completely dry before apply a clear coat to protect them, otherwise they will pick up all the dirt and become a lot dirtier than cement ones.

i really wanted to do my kids' bathroom with grey glass tiles and super visible silver glitter grout. it would have looked so awesome...

I agree with you 100000%

Following you for the helpful knowledge and content. Ty

@@eileengalindo4949 Thank you so much! I am working on some design tip videos and a video covering the flooring types.

Oh so that is why corners in BRs are like a gluey rubber it is caulk so it can expand!

After reading your comment, I hope the floor does not lift up and become ruined from water (shower)!

hey, thanks for that tip! ✍️🏻😊

I appreciate the tip so thank you!

And afaik, they make these M shapes in the beginning while the paint brush still has a lot of paint on to kind of spread the paint over the full wall before you start to cover vertically otherwise at the end you have barely any paint left!

It’s difficult to do that when you are painting a textured wall with all the nooks and crannies.

this was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Mia, we would have loved a full bathroom makeover video to see the whole process!😍💘💯👍

i did mines almost a decade ago and they're still up lol

definitely appreciating that advice. Me not buffing the higher sheen paint in a room led to the new paint rubbing off quite a bit in less than a 3 year span. Waste of paint and money :( gonna try buffing before priming and painting it again.

She didn't show the entire renovation project (she specificallysaid). Therefore, we don't know if she did or did not sand the old tiles on the wall first. But good advice for those that didn't know and would only use this video (crazy if they did) as a guide.

@@TheCurlyFitChicOriginal The fact is, if she did " sand " the tiles and didn't say she sanded the tiles, the instructional video is still WRONG. If you're going to put an instructional on how to do something and don't put ALL the steps in said video, people are going to follow those steps. If steps aren't in the video that need to be done for the work to come out properly, IT'S STILL WRONG! People are going to follow those steps and end up with bad results, causing people a loss of money because she didn't put out an accurate video. Have a wonderful day!

@@bkornytoo51 It’s not really a DIY ‘instructional’ video though. It’s a video about trialing products in viral TikToks.

Aw thank you so so much!!💖💖

@@MiaMaples Aw you replied! I can sleep in peace now haha

EXATAMENTE

I literally said the exact same thing

exactly

That's what grout is for. Like the entire purpose.

GIRL I'm right there with u! I love watching her videos, but like u said, I had glitter EVERYTHING 20 yrs ago...Oh who am I kidding?! I still ❤ LOVE ❤ glitter!!!

I had a light pink glittered ceiling.

My grandma still has an olive green glittered and textured bathroom from the 70s. You’d shred your skin if you brushed up against the walls but it’s… “pretty”(?).

Same here my mom did the glitter paint at the same time early 20s.

A lot of my friends had this. But they did it with a clear sealant type product so they glitter stood out a lot more. I like the subtle glitter Mia did better than the chunky ones my friends had personally!

I know that's EXACTLY what I thought with the glitter paint, cloud wall paper, and glitter grout! Also, Mia's hair in the beginning was total fairy vibes!! 🧚‍♀️ 😍💘

@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606 i agree! mia is a real-life fairy

Agreed! So cute 💜

Why do I feel like this looks like her wedding makeup & hair trial look though 👀👀👀

@@pedbr07 oh my god if it is my vote definitely goes to this option, i don’t even need to see the others

@@pedbr07 yes!!! Maybe she filmed a video 👀

Mia, you look like a fairy! 🧚‍♀️ 😍💘

She’s the best 💜

She works for herself, we just benefit from her hard work 💜

Well yea I sure hope so when she literally makes her money off y’all😂

You see

Mia, love your hair it looks like a fairy! 🧚‍♀️ 😍💘 Love the cloud wallpaper, glitter wall paint, and sink!

Ikr 🥺

It be would like like a 3 year old Disney Princess designed it. Cheap, childish and ugly.

That would be sooooo pretty

@@codename495 I don't know if we are on the same idea here but go off I g

sounds so art deco! and imagine some dark forest green here and there as well!

@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans did not realize a colour could make the vibe so different but I'm living for it

You could probably even DIY an easy to adjust one with an old wire clothes hanger if you really wanted to have a tool for it too. But the glove thing would be alot easier than what mia had to do lol

the amount of resin i’ve had to squeeze out of rollers… a gloved hand is sometimes the only solution. gotta be fast with it though, and it isn’t the most environmentally friendly solution (construction/ renovation isn’t in the first place so it’s probably not an issue lol)

A 5-in-1 is the tool professionals use to clean out their rollers (among other things.)

Please let Mia see this: They used a see-through Epoxy Grout, that's why you could see the glitter clearly

Mia, we would have loved a full bathroom makeover video to see the whole process!😍💘💯👍

In the bathroom it might be moisture related as well my parents had adhesive laminate tile in the bathroom and they all peeled up due to moisture.

Yes, it's because you walk on it and the mat is too flexible, so the grout may crack, or so I've been told. It's meant for walls for sure.

Yeah, I tried it on a small counter next to our stove and it definitely isn’t great for counters or floors. It flexes and the grout cracks and falls out. I’ll be tearing it out and re-tiling it at some point. Would only recommend for backsplash for sure

Oh nooooo

Yeah I had a feeling that it was only meant for walls. For so many reasons. But I still wouldn’t trust it for a wall either.

You can get them in the US as well so I suspect they're available in Canada!

I got curious and looked it up. And I got indeed a UK company called Hemway that has premixed glitter grout (in not renovating but still very very intrigued by it)

@@Confidence_isFashion I used to get adds for them I think and or saw someone use them in a video so I knew it definitely existed.

That sounds exactly like my teenage bedroom! Dark purple with black trim/closet. I had a boring white ceiling though, so I painted stars all over it with glow-in-the-dark paint. And I had tiny string lights everywhere. It was so cozy! Tiny room too btw. Everyone was against going dark, but they had to admit it worked very well once I was done, haha!

@@MsEgwene I'm a huge fan of reading and owned alot of books so my dad built me 3 rows of shelves going around my entire room. The purple/black combo are my favorite colors (besides red lol). My mom wasn't too excited with the dark colors either but the room grew on her after we had finished it. I wanted to paint my doors with black chalkboard paint as well but that paint was expensive back then so I wasnt able too.

I was thinking the same. Glitter grout is a thing, they didn't just mix glitter and regular grout together. But the bathroom turned out to be great after all 😊

Yeah I've definitely seen ads for glitter grout somewhere

Yeah it definitely looked like a ready made product and not one you DIY. I hope she is able to get her hands on some for a video in the future!

Yeah i saw someone say it was Epoxy Grout, which is why the glitter is clearer

I found the faucet on Walmart for $150, it’s called Designer Bathroom Faucet - For Sink and Bathroom - Golden Swan Design! Also found it on Amazon for $123 called LCBLC Golden Swan Basin Faucet For Bathroom Vessel Sink Hot And Cold Water Mixer Tap

Wayfair has a ton of fun faucets like that

Yes, an update in 1/2 yr or a year!

It is not suppose to be used on floors. If you use it make sure you do your research and waterproof it properly.

Wait a second you are saying if I have white grout I can add a paint color such as pink and mix it in and turn it to pink grout?

@@merimebardhi5129 Yeah, or should be that simple
