How can I gloss up my paint?

I love Myles of Style on HGTV and there was an episode where she took plain old flat paint and painted the entire wall, then she put up painters tape (to make stripes) and used some kind of clear gloss paint. When it dried and she took down the tape it left this nice shiny design.. but not over the top.. I love that look. Any ideas??How can I gloss up my paint?
Use acrylic polyurethane...Minwax makes a good one.

You can get many different faux finish paints at Lowe's, Home Depot, True Value, Etc.





I just used a mirror finish top coat that I bought at Lowe's. It was a major pain to get the shinny part to look smooth and not streaked, but worth the effort.
I know that Behr , Glidden and Ralph Lauren have glazes that is used in faux painting techniques. I am sure there are other brands This product will add a sheen to your paint finish. She probably used the Pearl glaze.


Go to //hgtv.com/mylesofstyle and look for the episode. There are product guides with the episodes.


Have fun!
the answer is pretty low tech. All you do is put water based polyurethane over your paint at whatever gloss level you want and it works great. It will go on milky white but dry crystal clear. My dining room is done just that way. Looks great.
I love HGTV, google hgtv/myles of style and see if you can look up the episode.

    Spilt Gloss on Carpet Can I get it out?

    Is there any way I can get gloss of carpets or the stuff you paint the shed of flags?Spilt Gloss on Carpet Can I get it out?
    While it is wet you may get it off with polyclens brushcleaner. Do not use white spirit, as it just thins and spreads it around.





    If you can't get polyclens then try painters handcleaner from a proper decorators store - otherwise in 30 yrs I have never found anything effective.





    Once it is dry you can only try to shave the gloss off with a single edged razor blade or even sandpaper depending on the carpet.

    How can I do my lip gloss like this ?

    I've seen some girls do there lips like the girl in the picture I want to no how you do it.And also what color is she using.

    shes not only using liploss there is also lip liner. use a clear lipgloss and a plum lipliner. however if you are very pale then try not too go too dark on the lip linerHow can I do my lip gloss like this ?
    A lip liner was used to draw around the outer lip shape.


    Of course try a little bit darker shade then your lip color and see what you like. Then put clear gloss over.





    Another recommendation is after your lip is drawn. You are able to use a lighter lip stick color for the inside of the drawn lip liner. Fiddle around and see what is your choice of color that suits you. After the decision you apply lipgloss.






    lol Omg you really think I know what color and lip stick she's using lol you really do We know who she is, I seen her all my life , HOney if you dont know we dont know I swaer people like you who come on here aking what makeup she;s wearing OMg i hate you Like rally If I posted a pic could you tell me what PERFUM THE PERSONS WEARING ??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DAMMMM!
    In the picture you can see that her lips are two toned (the top is a different color than the bottom) so I'm pretty sure all she did was line her lips with a dark lip liner then apply a clear gloss over it. Good luck!
    lip gloss and a brown liner..make sure you purchase a sofe tip liner to go on smooth..
    can we see your lips so we can say if is ok for you?

    just don't. i think it has glitter in the top coat and that is too juvinille for everyday wear
    i thinks its a plum lipliner hard to tell

    What is the best lip gloss to use?

    It depends. I love NARS and combat the stickiness by applying lip balm underneath.





    Smashbox has fantastic, non-sticky glosses in shimmers, sheers and full colors. They feel fantastic on.





    I love Chanel Glossimers, and the Glossimer Scintillantes, that have glitter.





    My current obsession is Vincent Longo Lip Vinyl. It's super-shiny, tons of pigment and not sticky at all. Well worth the $$$.What is the best lip gloss to use?

    Pout lip glosses are amazing, they smell minty and tingle your lips for ages. The company is also changing its name so if you find POUT products anywhere you will probably get a bargain.
    I don't know about ';the best'; lip gloss, but I really like Burt's Bees.





    Lovingly,


    Mom
    i love bonnebell
    Either Use Loreal Or Miss Sporty... Or 2True


    They R Really Good...
    The problem with MAC, Too Faced, Lip Fusion, and some of the others is that they are either sticky, overpriced, or not as dramatic as most people would like.





    The best plumper I have found has actually been Sugar, Pump 'em up by sugar cosmetics. It goes for about $12 at sephora, smells good, is not sticky at all, does not sting too much, and gives a very dramatic look. It does not last the entire day but does last when reapplyed about every three hours. It is portable and application is not difficult at all. It also adds a redish color to the lips. This is by far the best lip plumper out there, and it is much more convinient for an on the go modern lifestyle.
    Her glossiness lip gloss by Benefit at Debenhams
    I use covergirl and it last as well as shine, also not so thick like Mac....
    victorias secret by far!
    doesn't matter to me
    im sure it was boujouis which did a minty lip gloss,which not only made your breath smell all minty (which is always good), but it also made your lips tingle (in a good way) and made them look plumper and fuller =)
    Sugar! http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh… Not sticky like NARS.
    if you want something that's


    not TOO glossy , but stays put,


    is somewhat cheap and comes


    with an SPF , try burt's bees.





    otherwise , if you're just looking


    for gloss , gloss , gloss - try wetslicks


    fruit spritzers or MAC 3D lipglass. i


    haven't tried MAC but i hear it's the BEST.
    Always Mac , more expesive usually but worth it
    It depends what suits you, from your picture you look olive skinned so nude, slightly darker lipgloss along with most shades of pinks suit you. Try this loreal lip gloss which I also own:


    http://www.lorealparis.ca/en/cosmetics/i…
    This one is brill, its Sally Hansen - Inflation , smells of calpol! yummy! stays on for ages and a brill shine, plumps up lips a bit! viola! perfect lipgloss!!

    What type of lip gloss lasts all day or just a long time? My lip gloss right now only lasts a few minutes...?

    Until it dries out and I have to re-apply. It may sound kind of ridiculous, but I'm not kidding. What brand works the best and is the most long lasting? please help! ;]]What type of lip gloss lasts all day or just a long time? My lip gloss right now only lasts a few minutes...?
    I am really enjoying Burt's Bees right now, love the ingredients, feels great, doesn't taste disgusting, looks awesome for a LONG timeWhat type of lip gloss lasts all day or just a long time? My lip gloss right now only lasts a few minutes...?
    I recently bought Maybelline SuperStay (it has two ends - one end with the gloss, another end with a top coat for extra shine %26amp; helps it last longer) because it was recommended in People magazine as the longest lasting lip gloss %26amp; it definitley is out of the ones I've tried!


    :)
    MAC lipgloss.You can get some at Sephora
    MAC's lip varnish works well...so does anything by Tarte..if you want a cheaper brand you should try lip smackers...it seems to do the trick
    first- use chapstick as a base


    second- stain lips with lippencil


    third- use MILANI or SMACKERS lipgloss. its smooth, cheap, and subtle.
    welll this is the name of it smackers those last like at least 12 hours i have like 4 of them and they come in many diffrent flavors
    I love mac plushglasses.


    They have a creme finish, so you can go for absolutely any look. And they last for about lets see...2 hours.


    They may be quite expensive.


    14 in the states


    17 in canada

    this stuff is amazing. you can get it at CVS. it's cheap, and it has a cooling sensation. it lasts a long time, and it doesn't make your lips look like plastic, just really plump and pretty.





    hope this helps =)
    Three brands I find long lasting are Chanel Glossimers, Lancome Juicy Tubes and MAC Lipglasses. The Juicy Tubes are Lipglasses are both incredibly sticky but that's the secret to it's long lasting wear. Glossimers, on the other hand, aren't sticky at all and last just as long. The only downside is the price.





    So, what you should look for in a gloss is a non-runny formula that has a bit of stick to it.





    Goodluck!
    put a thin layer of foundation on first that will help. Then use a nice and thick gloss. I prefer Jordana, Burt's Bees, or Goldie.
    Lancome's Juicy tube is by far the best lip gloss. Otherwise just stay away from lip gloss with any flavoring in it. You'll want to lick it off and end up having to use more.
    try shiny licious or vasiline
    I make my own and it does last!! If your interested email me and i will send you a recipe~ All my daughters friends ask me to make it for them too!

    How long does it take for a lip gloss/balm to go out of date?

    lip smackers pefferably


    they dont tell you went its out of date on the packet.How long does it take for a lip gloss/balm to go out of date?
    there should be a symbol on it that looks like a little container with a word like ';3M'; or ';10M'; on it...the number followed by the M means ';three months'; or ';ten months'; as in the expiration from purchase date. its of course and estimate to save their butts from being sued cuz someone used the same mascara for a year ;) lol which is not safe to do! check for the expiry dates!!How long does it take for a lip gloss/balm to go out of date?
    Most cosmetics now have a little cosmetic container image on the package that says either 6,12, or 24. Most cosmetics last 12 months. Except mascara, you should not keep that longer than 6 months. Each application opens the container to bacteria from the air and your own lashes, which can eventually lead to an eye infection or pink eye.





    Don't use items like foundations, or lipsticks/glosses past a year, you not doing anything but putting bacteria on your face.
